Great reviews, and very honest but if you bend the rod a little bit so that it stays exactly on the middle at the right angle and add a little Vaseline at the tip on the Torped, it sounds and vibrates just like other pen style machines, just try it, sounds just like the Bronc Staves
Great review! Just wondering how do you go about cleaning the Mars U? The grip is straight forward, but does the machine itself have to be taken apart to clean?
Shorter stroke on the rotary doesn’t make it fun faster. Think of the motor RPM- it doesn’t matter how long the stroke is - it rotates exactly the same RPM. This is not a coil machine where the throw length affects the speed.
I do think it will affect the speed. Because it is basically the same. Yes the motor might run a certain RPM. But it needs to travel a longer dinstance. So the needle will probably move at the same speed. But you dont need (for example) 4mm of the needle to tattoo. So i think it does affect the speed. Then again. I aint know scientist so i could be wrong😂 but thanks for you imput
@@Tattoobart147only affects the speed of the needle not the amount of hits. If it is at this stoke length, it's the amount of hits. It all depends what is measured because of the torque of the motor.
You could get the 28mm version and the cams range from 2.5-3.5 stroke,and use that for shading.Then use the 32mm version in this video for lining and packing. Two machines,two batteries,and your covered for around $250.
Awesome video ! i have a quick question for you. Which needle groupings would you use with the ambiton torped 5.0 mm stroke. Would you mind giving me a range from the smallest needle grouping you would use up to which needle grouping? I appreciate your help and again great video! 😊
Ambition Torped - Whats up Sir, so I have a question I just bought this pen and will only use it for shadding because I use coils machines usually and will continue to line with a coil machine. Question is which of the 3 strokes should I use for packing black, color and light shading thanks. Pen came with Stroke 4.0-4.5-5.0mm
Yes it is a great machine for beginners. But… set your stroke to 1 stroke and learn how to work with it before making changes. These different strokes can only confuse you when you are a beginner. Try to line with the 4.0 or 3.6 for smaller lines and packing color. And use the 3.6 or 3.2 for shading.
Is the torped a comparable liner to a machine like a dan kubin or a sidewinder type like machine? And does it vibrates more or less than a dan kubin, please respond :)
I am not sure if you can compare these 2 machines to each other. I think out of all the pen style machines it does line the easiest with bigger needles. But i have to be honest nothing really beats a coil or a sidewinder for lining. But after some getting used to it will work very nice. The torped has some vibration but nowhere near the vibration if a sidewinder
@@Tattoobart147So you're saying nothing beats a sidewinder type machine as a dedicated liner? I truly can't decide if I go with a modern pen style o with a trusty dedicated liner
@@EP_TattooArt well its a bit more complicated i feel😅 i recently changed to a more modern style machine. Pure for the reason my supplier sometime dont have grips in stock and he mentioned they will probably disappear overtime. Now in the shop inwork we work with disposibbles so we dont need to use an autoclave to steralize all the grips and tip. For that reason i went to a more modern style machine, also the fact i can work wireless that way and using different needle sizes is way easier. Now with a pen it takes a bit of getting used to. And sometime i feel i have to work a bit harder to get a line in. Now with my DK i can run a 14round shader with 1 hand on my back. So i have to be a lot more carefull lining with a machine like that. Its a bit more punchy. Now that i am a bit more used to it i actually really enjoy working with a pen. But maybe if i pick up my Dk i would love it more then my pen. So what you should do is think of the positive things and the negative things and see if its worth it. I do believe if you want a liner get something with a 4.0mm stroke or longer. So the torped would be a good model to use
@@Tattoobart147 Thanks again man, I really need to consider the pros and cons of each one, I feel like this torped machine looks more versatile than a dk, but im not sure

Great review! Just wondering how do you go about cleaning the Mars U? The grip is straight forward, but does the machine itself have to be taken apart to clean?
I just make sure i wrap it well so it wont get dirty. And after a tattoo i will always wipe it down with alcohol

Yes thats actually what i meant with the speed. Probably i didn’t word it right. But thanks for you input🙏
On the Mars try 8.6 to 8.8 for lining instead of 8.0 that should smooth the lining to match your happy speed.
Would it be practical to have 2 torped set up . One for shading and another for lining different stroke options for both and cheap enough?
Yeah that could definatly work. I think with one it will be just fine too.

Basicly all depending on the purpose. Lining i would suggest anything from 7rl and up. You can do fineline but that depends on experience.
@@Tattoobart147 thank you for the reply ! I will keep that in mind for sure. I appreciate the response
No problem at all🙏
Have you seen the new Torped 36mm - with 4.5-5.5mm stroke?
Nobody has done any reviews that i can find…
Would like to see your opinion!
Interesting… i will have a look 👀

So
Color - 4.5
Blackout - 4.5
Soft shading 4.0???
I would probably do 4.0 for all of it to be honest. But is depends what you like. So i think its a matter of testing and seeing hoe it feels
@@Tattoobart147 Right on appreciate it

Also check out my video about the adjustable type machine. I compare 3 different brands. :ruclips.net/video/92ppRNllS40/видео.htmlsi=gI8v3tH20YkEXWtD
Whats the best voltage yall have found to line and shade with the ambition? I just got one as a back up from my Flux
I would say lining around the 8/8.5 shading is anywhere between the 4 and 6 for me
Thanks for pointing out that its good for traditional, that's exactly the kind of work I wanna do in the future so this info helped a lot :D
No problem 🤘
@@Tattoobart147 Yo! Got my Torped, been using it for two weeks now, I love it so far! It's a great machine :D
Good to hear! What stroke have you been using?
@@Tattoobart147 4. Seems to work great for both outlines and shading.
Did you order from amazon or ambition ?
Just use, barrier film and cut a slit in the middle for adjustments 🤟🏼

Have you tried the ambition zetton yet??
No not yet. But isnt that a 3.5 mm machine?
Thanks bro for the reply and the advice!
No problem 🙏
amazing work!! thank u for the video❤
Thanks 🙏
Is this better than the torped ?
Its different than the torped. If its better thats very personal. Its nog stronger than the torped. But its more versatile than the torped for sure
Can 5 strok push 14 RL brother?
Easy, even with the 4.0 and 4.5 you can push it. Although i think 4.5 and 5.0 is probably better
@@Tattoobart147 tnx u brother
Wow cool 🤩
Thanks😇
Good Information
