When you pulled it out of the box it started with 93%. After tatting for a little bit it was still at 93% 🤣 mine lasts for way more than 8 hours more like 10hrs. Absolutely love it👍
Lol I notice that too on the 93% percentage 😂 also, does it have a quick charge?? Like 10mins charge n get 2hrs type thing ?? Like ear buds ..for example
I've owned the mast archer for a little over a year and I must say it's definitely dependable. I've done small and medium size tattoos with it and it isn't bad. It feels decent when holding. I'm able to do some pretty decent tattoos with it. Having said that my only complaint is the battery. Don't get me wrong the battery will for sure get you through a 4 or 5 hour tattoo or about 6 smaller tattoos with one charge. It's very easy to charge as well. Type c charger was very easy to work with. Overall if you are first starting out this is the machine for you.
@@julymarierivera5706 anytime you take it apart to clean or something I would add some type of lubricant just so when you need to change your needle depth easier.
I’ve been using this machine for about 8 months now. I’ve had no problems with it. Just picked up the archer max with 4.0 stroke. Great little machine.
so hard to decide whether to get something hella expensive thats tried and true or to try to budget at first.. but then again here i sit not tattoing so. tuff call. thanks for this review! always so thorough
Hi I'm a beginner and have just purchased the mast archer and am really happy with it , I watched your review on this machine and you are totally correct in saying it is great for a beginner , my tattoo work has come on leaps and bounds with this machine , I previously had a stigma rocket and there is no comparison, dragonhawk certainly make some really good pen machines , thanks for the review helped me a lot .
I love watching your informative videos and definitely the review videos. Getting an professionals view point is always great and so thank you for taking your time out to do this for us beginners. With that being said, you started at 93% and ended with 93% battery life. These do charge quick- 2 hours for a full charge and you can also tattoo while charging and so I feel that’s worth mentioning as well. I would love to know what inks you use for deep dark lines and what you recommend for sensitive skin. I have been using Kuro Semi Liner ink and I feel personally I am looking for something darker once it heals fully. Intenze and world famous inks I have used as well on colors. I was going to try the Dynamic ink but I know they went through a bacterial thing with their ink awhile back and was very cautious on trying them. I would LOVE to see a video review on different inks. Also, a tattooing video on doing animals such as a Bear, Lion, Tiger something with fur and lots of shading. An extensive long video showing the entire tattoo process and shading would be FANTASTIC!!!! again, thank you so much for all of your videos. ❤️❤️❤️ much love and respect 💜
I'm curious what you think about keeping this machine free of blood-borne pathogens, considering there's no real way to apply a barrier between the needle and the machine? I'm very confused about this part of wrapping, and particularly with this machine it seems that's a huge risk.
Also what I’m wondering. 🤔🤔 Not sure whether disposable grips alone sufficient to keep this thing clean without an autoclave, as is the issue with most rotary machines.
So pen covers that are 65mmx180mm cover the entire pen plus some :) mine are from Amazon, they only cost about $10 for 200 pcs and 3 rolls grip tape! Subscribed!😊
My machine hangs my needle out far too much, not sure what I've done but on the lowest setting the cartridge needle is hanging out approx 3-4 mm upto about 6mm. Both are far too much hang for my liking. Wasnt like this origionally, had it a couple of month, any ideas?
The Archer has been great for me, but I’ve only been tattooing for a year. My battery lasts for quite a while. I charge it whenever it’s not in use. The Mast Pro needles have been great with this machine and I like the Big Wasp 1211 RL’s as well. You’re right on time with the wrap technique. I haven’t even used the plastics with it. I have a couple of their coil machines as well. I’m just a beginner so my opinion doesn’t have much weight, but I like the machine. I’ve been getting tattoos for over 25 years, so I’m very familiar with the process. In my experience I would say this is an inexpensive option that performs well. Good video!
Do the mast tour review and also the duke k1 as well. I have both. Well the duke is on its way. I did notice my depth with the tour line or shade it has to be the same and works good.
Have you done a review on the ambition storm wand.....everyone keeps talking about the soldier but I'm interested in the storm wand. Great vids though brother.
Nice..nice..I haven't made the switch to battery..still tattooing with a coil machine..I used a stealth back in the day when I was learning ..by the way dude..I Fukin swear u could be my twin brother..Its almost scary
⭐️ Bought one for my brother last year and he has BEAT that thing, it’s still incredible condition with no issues what so ever. Since the new 4.2 stroke came out, I purchased one for myself and it’s really good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⚠️⚠️HOWEVER, the clear purple mast cartridges are absolutely GARBAGE. I recommend not purchasing any cartridges from them what so ever. They literally just SPIT the ink out right away and hold literally ZERO ink in them. I’ve tried to use like 100 of them and every single one acted exactly the same. ⚠️⚠️ The machine is great, but the cartridges are straight up trash. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I bought that mast from dragonhawk. Works great and the battery life it s exremely hight. Am a beginer but i think it good option for someone getting to tattoing. Do you know if i have to put the grip in a incinerator (autoclivan) like your cheyenne or i can clean it with some kind of creaner, (if i tattoo humman skin). Good job Brandon!
I’m a gypsy tattoo artist , i currently have a the fk iron flux EXO the powers incredible but I’m afraid of traveling with a 1,000 machine but also don’t want to lower the quality of my art but either way I guess it’s the artist not the machine 🤔 at the end of it all
I seen his later review on those needles that he in fact did like. You also see his favorite needles click easier into them in that other video. I’d go with the ones he reviewed.
I know this is an old video, but I watched it for the review and when you took it out of the box and checked if it needed charging it was at 93% and then after using it you said it would drain fast but it was still at 93% after 10 minutes of use. Unless you charged it to 100% before you used it it didn't lose any charge.
I just received my archer aurora edition and I can't figure out how to put the reusable grips on? I watched the video by dragonhawk and I still cant figure it out lol.
I’ve been using Xtreme ink out of Santa Monica. Their Super Black is awesome as an all around black, they have great colors as well. Prices are great as well.
I can’t turn the grip anymore to the left and I’m afraid of breaking it any chance anyone knows a way of fixing the problem cuz I just wanna change the grip?????
I have two of these, and I have same problem in VOLTAGE, it doesn’t give the right power, example I set 8V and gives me less around 5V, I realized as the needle starts going slower with greater voltage, somebody has experiences the same situation? They have been used for a couple of times… basically brand new…
Hello! I'm about to start tattooing and I have a question. Is it ok to use the same grip for several people or should we use disposable grips? I ask because there are mast machines without disposable grips. Thanks for your help!

I was confused at the end like what he forgot he started on 93% 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was gunna comment when he said it would last 8 hours haha I've done 10hrs and still not dead yet lol
Lol I notice that too on the 93% percentage 😂 also, does it have a quick charge?? Like 10mins charge n get 2hrs type thing ?? Like ear buds ..for example
Damn mine lasts forever I haven’t charged it in like a week 😂😂
Yeah I tattooed 3 hours from 100% it dropped to 78%
Currently emptying the bank getting the old lady an an entire setup. id be lost without these videos brother.... gang.

Thanks for this, I've been debating whether or not to grab one
@@gavinjames9207 no problem at all. Glad to tell my experiences with some of dragonhawks machines
@@icy9864 no i haven't had that problem with that specific machine. Does it just shut off in the middle of use?
Do you know if it has to be oiled or lubricated ?
@@julymarierivera5706 anytime you take it apart to clean or something I would add some type of lubricant just so when you need to change your needle depth easier.
I’ve been using this machine for about 8 months now. I’ve had no problems with it. Just picked up the archer max with 4.0 stroke. Great little machine.
Would you ever use the archer max for shading? im on edge between archer and the max model, want something for all around work.
@@Itsjuststeveo get the max. There are times. I use it for everything.
Thus product is a piece of shit
U got Instagram
Can you adjust the stroke to less than 4.0?
so hard to decide whether to get something hella expensive thats tried and true or to try to budget at first.. but then again here i sit not tattoing so. tuff call. thanks for this review! always so thorough

they will def run for around 8 hours, i have seen a artist use his for 3 days in a row on 30%
this is true for the archer max. i tattooed 6 hours straight and drained 60% battery
Could you do a vid on how to properly wrap it up?
I think this decides it for me. Absolutely perfect review - thank you!

Cool review, would be great to see a review of the mast archer max, it has a 4.2 mm stroke. I'm thinking of getting it as a wireless liner.

Do the mast tour review and also the duke k1 as well. I have both. Well the duke is on its way. I did notice my depth with the tour line or shade it has to be the same and works good.
What size cartridges the best for this machine?? With lining & shading
Have you done a review on the ambition storm wand.....everyone keeps talking about the soldier but I'm interested in the storm wand. Great vids though brother.
did you end up buying ?
Nice how would you compare this lining to others in its price point
Can you use this on skin? Thanks
Nice..nice..I haven't made the switch to battery..still tattooing with a coil machine..I used a stealth back in the day when I was learning ..by the way dude..I Fukin swear u could be my twin brother..Its almost scary

What cartridges do you use ?
Can you adjust the stroke to less than 4.2?
So what cartridges do you use?
Thx Brandon for the indepth review.
Hi! What are your thoughts about the DragonHawk Mast Flip Pro?
Thank you
Can you make a video on how to clean it ?
I have the Flip.is this a better choice?
Thank you. Very informative.
Hey I don’t know if you realize but you said it started at 93% and when you finished the video. You said it was at 93%.
I want to get my first machine but I want to spend for a good for the best one I can get do u suggest me this one?
I bought that mast from dragonhawk. Works great and the battery life it s exremely hight. Am a beginer but i think it good option for someone getting to tattoing. Do you know if i have to put the grip in a incinerator (autoclivan) like your cheyenne or i can clean it with some kind of creaner, (if i tattoo humman skin). Good job Brandon!
do u prefer archer or lancer?
When u turned on the machine for the first time you said it read 93 percent and when you were done ten minutes later it was only at 92!
I’m a gypsy tattoo artist , i currently have a the fk iron flux EXO the powers incredible but I’m afraid of traveling with a 1,000 machine but also don’t want to lower the quality of my art but either way I guess it’s the artist not the machine 🤔 at the end of it all
What do you think of Ava E9? For a beginner
What brand of needles are better for a machine like that or does it matter?
I seen his later review on those needles that he in fact did like. You also see his favorite needles click easier into them in that other video. I’d go with the ones he reviewed.
Kwadrons and ttech are my favourites
- Nathan
What does the machine come with
Does this machine work with spades cartridges
Can you please review dragonhawk mast saber tattoo machine
I know this is an old video, but I watched it for the review and when you took it out of the box and checked if it needed charging it was at 93% and then after using it you said it would drain fast but it was still at 93% after 10 minutes of use. Unless you charged it to 100% before you used it it didn't lose any charge.
does this gun pull 18rl well?
This one or the max version? 🧐
Thanks appreciate your help
I just received my archer aurora edition and I can't figure out how to put the reusable grips on? I watched the video by dragonhawk and I still cant figure it out lol.
This or the cnc Q2? I’m brand new!
Would you recommend the 3.5 stroke or the 4.2 one for color and thick lines
4.2
I currently use a inkjeckta flite nano, I'm thinking about getting this machine to try it out
Wouldn’t reccomend it dude if you already have a nano. You’ve already got the best machine.
What voltage did you have it at for the 14RL
i love this machine, i use barrier film to wrap it bc the machine bags don’t fit !
There’s some large ones on Amazon I found that fit perfectly
@@musoehcr if you dont mind me asking, which ones worked for you?
how many Voltage your use for 7 rl?
Really helpful review, was unsure on what to get but now I know, cheers. Also do you have any recommendations for black ink for shading off Amazon?
for ink I always recommend getting from a reputable sight there are to many fakes
I’ve been using Xtreme ink out of Santa Monica. Their Super Black is awesome as an all around black, they have great colors as well. Prices are great as well.
I've just started using Eternal Maxx black, it's really good.
@@Tattooing101 dont change the batery?
Hey I didn’t catch if you said this was the 3.5 or 4.2 mm stroke edition
This is the 3.5
Kiff revue ... thank you ... Mast Archer ..Vs.. Ambition Soldier .... which would you choose? If i may pls ask ?
i like the masts alot but i cant say ive tryed the other ones yet might have to try them out in a future video
Well thank you very much , finally i will be getting this famous machine , yaaaay ,tx for yr reply , excellent vids
On amazon how do you know its fake or not
Get it off killer ink
Can the grips it comes with go through the autoclave?
Nope. Those are disposable. They melt in an autoclave.
Does anyone know the acus M1 ?
I trust u so dont let me down I’m gonna buy it tmm ..
Yeah my best is cheyenne sol nova too bad cops took it from me
It isn't charging at all anymore brand new hardly had it an it won't charge at all out of no where
which one do you recommend me mast archer or lancer? Ty bro
I can’t turn the grip anymore to the left and I’m afraid of breaking it any chance anyone knows a way of fixing the problem cuz I just wanna change the grip?????
Just keep unscrewing to the left. It will start clicking and unscrewing.
nice video
U said 93% but u didn’t charge it it came at 93%
Can you adjust Needle length
Yes you can, or are you asking about adjusting the stroke?
Oops I didn’t know it didn’t have extra batteries lol
THATS NOT NEW...IT LOOKS OLD
I am really disappointed with this tattoo machine, This tattoo machine turned off forever after the battery ran out for the first time.
All the newbies doing blow outs like... 😅
I wanna do smaller American traditional tats but just black and grey with maybe red , would it b good for that?
I have two of these, and I have same problem in VOLTAGE, it doesn’t give the right power, example I set 8V and gives me less around 5V, I realized as the needle starts going slower with greater voltage, somebody has experiences the same situation? They have been used for a couple of times… basically brand new…
It started and ended on 93% so it might last the 8 hours.
sure! a couple hundred, but get what your mentor suggests.
You're doing a good job with this Chanel bro! Many thanks...im going to buy the mast archer max 4.2 stroke
You can also run this machine while plugged in. Incase it starts to die.
thats awsome! Thats one thing I wish they had in the box was some information like that. But it was a great machine to start out.
Hello!
I'm about to start tattooing and I have a question.
Is it ok to use the same grip for several people or should we use disposable grips?
I ask because there are mast machines without disposable grips.
Thanks for your help!
What cartridges did u use on this video
Can you review the MAST fold pro
Only good for about 10mins though?
Dude, where’s the finished product on the tattoo!?
New review with Mast Flip , can you do it ??
Jesus loves you all
The mast flip
So what one is better archer or mast tour ?
I have one of these for sale if anyone is looking, got as a gift, used for an hour on practice skin. 4.2 stroke comes with carts and some extras.
stil up?
Can you do the mast flash direct drive rotary machine
i will make a note of that machine for sure
Great review bro!!!
Do you have to use a foot pedal
It’s wireless so no foot peddle and no power supply
what needle did you use for this machine?
I got this a few months ago as a beginner and just bought the sol nova unlim 4.0mm the other day!
It’s great
