From what i learn, stroke is essentially how hard a machine hits because of the distance it travels, both small stroke like a 3.2 or 4.2 can carry the same amount of ink in the cartridge, but with a shorter stroke the needle hang does have to be lessen for it to grab ink, and longer stroke can grab ink with a longer needle hang, and with a 3.2 or 3.5 stroke machine doesn't mean you build layers slowly because how much ink is in the cartidge, you are able to build layers slower because of how that needle bogs in the skin. So when you have a machine with a 4.2 stroke, you are able to saturate or do solid thick lines quicker because of how hard it hits and how easily the needle bogs in the skin. But we also have to remember about our volts because that also plays a role. This is what ive learn from my own research, so I might be wrong, just wanted to share. 😁 please correct me if I'm wrong, i have been wrong before many times.
It shows that this video is blocked in some countries? wtf
Nice advice playboy. I been using a 3.6 stroke for everything but I mostly do b&G but I’m thinking of getting something w a 4.0
I’m wondering because of the spring inside the tattoo cartridges too like I am learning so
Much before I start even tatting again and ima start on my leg again lol
I love your explanation! I will definitely practice your advice on my Bishop wand shader and packer!
🔥!
@@adamdarklord so, I gave it a try and wen faster on a shorter stroke and lower voltage tucked my big bug pin mag in and got super smooth transitions and very little if any redness !
Adam the machine speed comes from the motor man not the stroke. It is simply physique. The rotation is the same the acceleration is only different because of the weight on the cam and the length of the travel. They rotate around the shaft in the same way. It is the same time for 2.5 and 4.5 mm stroke if you use the on the same machine.
Awesome, I’ll pin your comment!
I’ve been told multiple different things on that specifically with stroke length affecting the hertz.
I’ve always believed that it didn’t because it’s fixed to the motor.
Apparently there’s some video out there proving it but I was never shown this video lol
I’ll fix the error in when I address stroke length again
@@adamdarklord it may slow down the motor when there is more pressure for sure. The bigger the rotation is the heavier the weight will be and it will pack better punch. If the motor is weaker it will slow down easily.
Hey Adam, are you planning to drop the brothers printer soon? I’m still waiting to buy a new stencil machine because I wanted to know the comparison and your opinion 🤧
The brother printer is the best! I had many issues with filming and just got a new PC and 2 new cameras and I’m going to be working more on the video tomorrow!
So what stroke should you use for colour packing, I have an adjustable stroke machine from 2.6-4.0
4.0 stroke for outline and color and maybe 3.2- 3.7 for black and gray
I have the Bishop Wand Packer. Used to do old school with a 3.5 stroke machine before and had no issues healing. But since I use the Wand I feel like every tattoo is scabbing up really bad even though my volts go as low as 4,8v. The lineweight was also thicker on the 3.5 stroke machine I feel. My hand speed is pretty low but not that low. But I'm kind of afraid to up my voltage since when starting I used 6 to 6.5v and my work scabbed up really bad. But same thing with 5v, so I feel like this machine is just not made for my hand speed. But then again I have seen people on UA-cam working with the Packer on 8.5v, not moving significantly faster than me. Depth is not the problem. Not sure what to do.
A lot of people are moving faster with that machine. It’s very powerful you don’t want to go too slow with it. And you can’t keep going over there same area as much as you can with a shorter stroke machine. Once the ink is in move on to the next spot
@@adamdarklord Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it.
What do you think about the ambition rotary machines there cheap
They are typically good for a cheaper machine I just don’t suggest the stroke adjustable ones from them
@@adamdarklord thank you
Is 4.5 so much different from 4.2? Im willing to get the cheyenne sol nova but the stroke lengths are either 3.5 or 4.5. I only do lines but sometimes as small as a 9 liner so Im afraid the 4.5 stroke will be like a chainsaw for that. I also do big lines like 16 RS thats why Im leaning more to 4.5 than 3.5. Any thoughts are welcome!
I replied to your comment on the sol nova video 🔥
What do you think about the Dragonhawk Wireless Tattoo Pen Machine with 7 Stroke Length | Mast Fold 2
I think they paused production on it because people had some issues with it breaking but I could be wrong
but how fast do i move my hand if im doing a good old fashion stick and poke because my volts are like 0
Volts in stick and poke would be determined by the shots of expresso or energy drinks you have b4 the session 🤔
i have a spektra xion and since i started using the 3.7 for lines, if i turn the voltage to 7.5-8.0 it hurts like hell, me and the clients, but if i tattoo with like a 7.2 its perfect. Could you please advise your thoughts for this? is it because i have an average hand speed?
I’m trying to remember back to when I used the Xion everyday.
I believed I used it around 8volts for everything.
There’s a lot of things to factor in like where you’re doing the tattoo on them.
Some spots hurt way more than others even if they’re only an inch away from each other.
You might have your needle out to far and moving to slow. It’s hard to say without seeing your work.
Hopefully that helps 😅
Say if doing colour realistic with a 4.0 would you move hand faster than a 3.5 ? As surely it would damage the skin faster.
I suggest keeping your hand speed with what you’re comfortable with and adjusting the voltage to match it.
@@adamdarklord yes as long as my hand speed match's machine speed it can't over work unless I do too many passes.
Haaa I just told my buddy today, looking at tattoo pics... dude had red and swelling i said to him that is not correct!!! I never seen trauma to the skin by a good artist...
Some people have very fair skin and get red from just poking them but the average person should have no redness mostly with using gray wash
