Kwadron have a real membrane now great liners mags are sharp and stay sharp only negative is they are a little longer and dont work well with the bishop wand
I have been using ez revolution Tattoo cartridges for the past three years. Very happy with them. You can see some of the work done with them on my channel. Very well made needles for about 11.00 a box
Thank you for the great reviews, it’s a breath of fresh air that somebody is willing to give their honest opinions on the various tattoo equipment out there, helps indecisive people such as myself a great deal. I myself could never get along with Kwadron carts, I really wanted to though. I found they wobbled quite a lot and spit ink quite a lot too. I mainly had issues with their liners, the needle seemed good quality but I think without a stabilizer and the fact that there is a lot of room for the needle to wobble the needle would slow down with the slightest of pressure against the tip which I rest against my finger, as this is how I line. I’m always looking for decent and consistent cartridge liners! Looking forward to more of your reviews.
Hmm. Its true. Kwadrons Performance ist very good. Butbthey are leaking. Its sad for a Brand Like kwadron that they didnt make an membrane. That ist my biggest issue i have. Magic moon in the other Side have a Lot to Offer. Membrane. Stabilisator and they also have Diamond Tip liners...whatbis realy Nice.
Ihonestly hate kwadrons. Its the only brand i had wiggling needles with. I use magic moon only for over a year now and not a single bad wiggly needle. at the moment i want to experiment more anyone tried cheyenne craft? Are they worth it?
hey man, thanks for the review. after a few years of tattooing with cheyenne and some random brands I've started using kwadron cartridges and I must say, those little fuckers have some sharp and durable needles. even after 8 hours of heavy black&grey action they still keep sliding on the skin effortlessly. with other brands I always have to open up a fresh one mid-session to keep the consistency -- especially with the round liners. but yeah, kwadron needles are literally sharp so I recommend using them with a machine that has a short-mid stroke like Cheyenne Spirit (2.5mm) or Inkjecta Flite Nano (3.25mm). I actually used them with Cheyenne Thunder once (which has 4 or 4.2mm stroke I believe) and they CUT the skin like a fuckin machete after a few passes. never again, lol. about the "ink backfire" thing, haven't had any problems yet. will keep an eye on it tho. machines are way too expensive in Turkey (we're paying twice the price when compared to you guys over there) so I can't risk wrecking up my tools of trade.
Hey, bud. I'm a tattooed out of Oregon and was wondering if you have had a chance to try out the FKIrons Vertix needles. If so, what were your thoughts on them?
Robert Franke I’m not a fan of them, they flow ink poorly (at least the brand of ink I use) and the needle quality overall is poorer which is to be expected
Robert Franke thanks man, I’m using the safety carts primarily still but when I’m not I’m using the DaVinci cartridges from Bishop, I find them better than the kwadrons and they’re membraned as well
Do you ever have problems with Kwadron liners spitting a lot of ink? I love them but I don't like this factor. Also if I want to shorten my needle depth it makes a louder /rattly type sound.
TTech are the worst i ever used..Very inconsistent soldering..when it comes to cheaper carts i prefer Elite or Ez Revolution (with membrane)..They are awesome..Sorry for my bad english
God the times my Cheyenne mags blew apart while cleaning the needle out for a different tone☹ .. But you are 100% correct about these 3 brands.... it's weird how the most expensive cartridges are the most easily to break.. Yet the Kwadron cartridges are so durable..yet dont guaranty ink flowing trough the back.. I take that risk..I take special care cleaning the machine out after every project..but I've never seen any dirt in the hollow part of the grip.. Kwadron is always loyal to me..that's why I order my needle from their source at Poland... and I've never been happier with the cartridges
Gio Angeles well that’s awesome, it also makes you literally the first person I’ve ever heard of not having at least one issue. Since posting this video T-tech is no longer a brand that’s accepted by many health departments (including the one that inspects my shop) because of the generally sloppy construction and backflow issues so I’ll stand by my opinion of them.
Always found your reviews to be great, and lengthy enough to get a good feel for the product. I've been using Ttech, I'll check out Kwadrans cartridges.
Thanks for taking the time to do these videos, it's appreciated! I think you might like the Magic Moon cartridges to if you want to try something else :)
Great review! Where do you get your Kwadron cartridges from in Canada? I've used the TTech, and they are supposed to be coming out with a membrane version soon, and the Cheyenne Craft carts are just too "chunky" for me. Would'nt mind trying the Kwadron. Have you tried the carts from Good guy tattoo? Also Canadian. no membrane, but decent quality.
Hey I get mine from Lucky Supply Canada they have most configs, I have tried the ones from good guy, they’re decent carts if I had to choose either gg or kwadron I’d definitely go kwadron, if you prefer a smaller profile you’ll dig em.
Trash Panda Tattoos no, the grip has absolutely nothing to do with the connection between machine and cartridge. Kwadron carts rarely have any leak issues but reality is there are dozens of brands now making membraned cartridges there’s no excuse not to use them, most health departments require them and it’s not worth risking the health of your clients or your machine just to cheap out
@The Rain Willows ....you can open the cartridge and bend the needle slightly. OR... use a small ball of saran wrap in the vent hole, and use tape to hold it place. The ball of saran wrap will push on the needle, almost like a rubber band holds a needle on traditional long needle set ups.
@@TheGuillotinedream you dont want to do that. it will push the needle into the tube. most of the best artists in the world use cartridges. and never seen a single one jam the vent hole full of plastic wrap to achieve there work. im going to assume you aren't professional lol
Igor Marinho I believe so yes, they are #12 long tapers and #10 bugpins, kwadron has always made needles tailored towards realistic tattooing rather than more traditional short tapers or textured needles. I’ve actually tried to order FYT direct from them on 2 separate occasions and been told to “call back in a couple hours” because the guy answering the phone was too busy to take an order so I just gave up to be honest. Even if they were the best carts on the market (I doubt they are) if I can’t order without jumping through hoops it’s not worth my time. I’m currently working with DaVinci cartridges from Bishop and contemplating a review once I really put them through their paces.
personally, i just tried cheyenne safety in 5 differents config and i think that i will stick with fyt. seriously they are awesome. cheap and fast shipping. give it a try
@The Rain Willows I absolutely love them! Honestly some of my favourite carts but no easy way to ship them to Canada, every time I tried I got nailed with insane duties and taxes at the border so I stopped trying
I just got da Vinci 14rl coming from mast tour carts and the results is insane , I just ordered black claw mag and kwadron 11 liners 10ahader and 25 mag do you think the da Vinci mags , shaders and shorter liner would be better ?
Have you used Kwadron cartridges with the Xion? I just received some kwadron cartridges, and I've been excited about using them with my xion. I only just realized that they dont have a membrane, and fk suggests only using membrane style cartridges.... have you found there's any issues when using them with the xion? A reply would be greatly appreciated :) Love your work, keep it up!
Mike Gapps I’ve actually stopped using them for that reason, as much as I love the performance of kwadrons I got tired of having to watch them the entire time I’m working to make sure no ink was creeping up, these machines are way too expensive to risk using non membrane carts with
@@anthonyjenkins3335 thanks heaps for that man. I'm just happy I only bought 3 boxes before I realised there'd be an issue... It's a shame though. The quality seems leagues ahead of the elite II's I was using. But now I'll have too look at another brand. Any recommendations? We have a brand here in Australia called metrix which people seem to dig, and they're quite cheap too. But I'm just hoping they haven't sacrificed build quality to sell them at that price. Thanks again man. Love the content. Keep it up!
Kwadron have a real membrane now great liners mags are sharp and stay sharp only negative is they are a little longer and dont work well with the bishop wand
Thanks for the review man, I have never work with cartridges needles before, the video helps a lot. Have you tried the EZ Cartridges before?
Yamil Duro hey thanks man, I haven’t used ez before but I’ve heard good things about them, they’re on my list to try!
I have been using ez revolution Tattoo cartridges for the past three years. Very happy with them. You can see some of the work done with them on my channel. Very well made needles for about 11.00 a box
We’re and how much
They’re trash
@@marksteele3026 right? absolute garbage
Hi,very useful video,i have one question,wich needles i cann use with chayenne thunder,except cheyenne cartriges

Great videos bro hey ha e u tried HEXIS cartridges they great imo but would love to see your input on it
The front comes off the Cheyenne so u can separate the needles with ease
But where the links .....
I watch most of your vids for views very honest and open
ghost face thanks man I try!🙏🏻

just bought my inkjecta nano. it works amazing thanks for your response and recommendations also for your videos very informative
Hey, bud. I'm a tattooed out of Oregon and was wondering if you have had a chance to try out the FKIrons Vertix needles. If so, what were your thoughts on them?
Needlejig legacy carts have been solid but no membrane, recently released dynasty line with membrane but haven't tried them yet
Amazing video man thnkx
magic moon carts....11 mag..soft edge..25+ bore
Cheyenne got „CraftCartriges“. It‘s a one piece cartrige and it‘s cheaper then the „SafetyCartriges“
Robert Franke I’m not a fan of them, they flow ink poorly (at least the brand of ink I use) and the needle quality overall is poorer which is to be expected
Intrepid Tattoo got your point. I usually work with Kwadron too. Just wanted to mention the „CraftCartriges“. Thanks man.
Robert Franke thanks man, I’m using the safety carts primarily still but when I’m not I’m using the DaVinci cartridges from Bishop, I find them better than the kwadrons and they’re membraned as well
FYI New batches Have a full membrane
does the cheyenne cartridges work with xion or they are only for cheyenne machines? greatvideo btw
Do you ever have problems with Kwadron liners spitting a lot of ink? I love them but I don't like this factor. Also if I want to shorten my needle depth it makes a louder /rattly type sound.
I just got a machine, the line im getting is just like faded and bumpy.
TTech are the worst i ever used..Very inconsistent soldering..when it comes to cheaper carts i prefer Elite or Ez Revolution (with membrane)..They are awesome..Sorry for my bad english
Carsten Mann yea I’m a big fan of the EZ carts, very consistent, same quality you get from a cartridge that costs three times as much!!
Magic moon ftw
fuaad S hahaha I’ve heard they’re awesome, gotta try some out. I’m on the DaVinci carts right now, so good!
God the times my Cheyenne mags blew apart while cleaning the needle out for a different tone☹ ..

Kwadron has a membrane now....so good best liners period
Been using ttech for 4yrs not a single backflow.

MatrixRage thanks man I try! Good luck with the kwadrons!
You should try Legacy Cartridges by Needlejig they are consistent and the price is fair.
Fernando Leon have you ever tried their dynasty lineup yet. I’ve been using the legacy planning on trying the dynasty just for the full membrane
Thanks for taking the time to do these videos, it's appreciated! I think you might like the Magic Moon cartridges to if you want to try something else :)

Awesome, thanks, I just found them at Luckys tonight. lol. I'll givem a shot.
Hey so I have a xion and I was told kwadron cartridges can leak blood and ink into your machine. If I had disposable grips would that help?
Trash Panda Tattoos no, the grip has absolutely nothing to do with the connection between machine and cartridge.

Jonathan Mendez @requiemtattoo_anthony
Cartridge needles wiggle too damn much, but I found a simple way to stabilize the needle, kinda like using a rubber band on the cartridge needle....
TheGuillotinedream stop using shitty cartridges and you won’t have that issue in the first place. Good quality carts don’t “wiggle”.....ever.
@@anthonyjenkins3335 ....I've tried many different brands of cartridges including cheyenne cartridges.....and cheyenne needles even wiggle....so yeah
Kwadron all the way! Shit doesn't wiggle ...ever!
