I’ve been tattooing for 18 years and I have never before today thought of checking RUclips for real deal info on gear. You guys are great. Thanks so much for creating this useful content.
Wow, this was insanely helpful. I feel like I learned more from watching your guy's video on the Dan Cuban SideWinder than I did from watching Dan Cuban's video of the Sidewinder. I am a newer artist, but I had a lot of older more experienced artists recommending this machine to me. However, I felt that with my lack of experience I was confused on how to to tune the machine to my specific needs. This broke it down a bit slower and made it an open conversation. THANKYOU
Jake keep it up man. You are really dropping these gems. It shows when even three , 4,5 yrs after you drop vids like these and I'm learning more on your vids than I did working as a apprentice. Appreciate you so much.
Its the best Liner and His new 7.5 sidewinder and 76er packs color and shades just like a coil machine Love Dan Kubins , pen style machines don’t even have a chance next to DK’s .
I got tattooed with one and now I am looking to get one. I felt like it was the least painful tattoo and that’s what really had me looking into getting one.
Do you use it with cartridges? I just ordered my v3/24 and I know the machine works better with standart needles. But I wonder if it is good enough with cartridges? Just because is way more convinient.
Ya camera work/ presentation is all good mate, dont worry about it , your tattooists, not filmmakers, thanks for your thoughts and advice, appreciate it. Thanks alot
Thanks for this! I would just disagree in terms of pain: I think the DK hurts more in comparison to a traditional coil liner. I got tattooed by the same artist with DK and another machine and this is my experience.
Used the swingliner for at least 6 month. Its like the predecessor of the dmc according to dan kubin. It ran pretty sweet with cartridges and the dmc is supposed to be more snappy and be an upgrade to the swingliner. If that turn out to be true the dmc will be a fantastic machine for cartridge lining. I switched to regular needles and sidewinder simply because i love some adjustability and like the feel of regular needles better. If you want to stick to cartridges get the dmc. Dan makes fantastic machines. I know many people who use them and not a single person whos dissapointed.
@@aceadam1828 awesome. I'm going to have to get one. I see so many people loving them I would be stupid not to give them a shot lol thanks for the reply
I don’t use rubber grommets on mine. I use paper towels and get no spit. A soft rubber grommet with get beaten to death and you get a situation where your needle is flopping up and down…causing them to spit ink. And absolutely flip your larger needle groupings. A 14 should be flipped period
Dude the dmcv2 is a beast it retracts so fast its a great liner and performs as fast as you u can work with your hand off the tip of the needle its one of my favorites for lining and it shades super smooth its crazy u flip the clip cord and its a great shader it blows my mind and then if you dusengage the return spring u can do everything i just mentioned with carts it can pack color shade and line very good machine better all arounder i feel
Have a question I have a right arm sleeve there is a shit ton of black what’s the best voltage speed and technique to go over this thing again with. Using a coil machine. Mags ? Rs? Have a few skip lines and it sucks packing all this black to see skips
Dude i would use needles f oi r you dan kubin unkess its the new version 7 but other than that use the needles i used carts for a long time and recently ive been buying needles again just fir this machine its worth it i use 9rl and 14rl alot with my v6
I tried the v4 and the v3 and they are incredible machines, but i have got two of john clarks mag rotaries and theyre just putting in single pass lines as easy for me.... Id love to hear if somebody tried a mag rotary?
@@FiresideTattooNetwork neither do any one ..my friend you seem to know more than me on machines ..can you make a video on dragonfly ? thank you for the info //
I've also been keeping my eye on the John Clarks Magnet rotaries and they are things of beauty for sure, but I have never heard of anyone with hands on experience with them. That being said I own an older Aluminium Sidewinder V2 and it's such a fantastic and reliable machine, I'd upgrade to a newer model one day but for the time being I love it. Great video guys :)
v3r is a bit like re-evoltion - its the old v3 version with some little new things (he told many clients "vote" these as their best or they favourite one.. so he resetup it. 7b is the "classical" DK evoluition upwards with a lots of new things. "The core" / the machine/ the physical hybrid-prinzip of bringing the needle into motion is in every V the same, "just" the devilish details around are upgraded and upgraded and upgraded. I far as i know.. :D The Sidewinder is a wonderfull tool! i have a V5 and it was a litte revolution for my workflow..
hello man could u please tell me what a power liner is? i mean i speak spanish so its extremely hard to find info about it, also beacause we adapt the same term in english to our main lenguage so i dont know the exact name for that types of machines. thank u for all you videos, ive learned a lot from them. take care
Its a machine that does any lines fast with a longer throw and strong hit. Not a favorite for everyone because you really have to be quick or it will just fuck the skin real easy, specially with small needle groupings. Cheers.
@@7somekindofsomething ok..flip the clipcord (negative on top) and use a paper towel instead of a rubber grommet. I like to do 6 layers of Vivas, poke a hole in the middle so the eyelet seats well. I like to keep it set around 5.5-6 on the adjustment wheel, and am running about 4 to 4.3 volts. I find that the rubber grommets caused more problems than they are worth. A LOT of spitting was automatically negated when I switched to paper towels
I have the small can so can’t speak for his liner only machine but the small can doesn’t line as good as this machine, however it does pack color very well.
I hope he is not talking about the Russian Vlad Blad Avenger Pro when he was talking about a Russian version of the DK because the Vlad Blad Pro may be similar in a couple of things the overall is different and is also an amazing machine
I believe he was. And I agree with you. I have DK sidewinder V3R and a Vlad avenger 2 pro and yes they are two totally different machines that have equal quality to them. If that makes sense?..
@@chefkenburnem211 I also own Avenger 2 and have love hate relationship with it. What do you think between DK and Avenger which one is better for what?

Jake, with all due respect - the good ordinary well build coil liner does the job faster and easier than any overpriced and over "engineered" sidewinder. Besides, switching back and fourth your clip cord will pretty quickly kill the brushes on that motor. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it though. Only rotary machine I accept is the simple well put together direct drive. everything else is one big BS ( besides Neuma4 ;) ... Rubber bands this way or that way, fine tuning here and there.. Really? Vs just understanding your coils and tuning it a bit ones in a while.. That difference cost you a grand of evergreen bucks.. LOL
I don't know. Ive used tattoo machines 5 days a week for over 23 years and that thing spits more than normal if you don't follow Dan's instructions carefully

I seen sidewinder 8 in the title and was like "God damn he has an v8 already" how much is that one?........$2000. Lol
I just got a v3r from workhorse and this video helps a ton!!! These machines are bananas
Do you use it with cartridges? I just ordered my v3/24 and I know the machine works better with standart needles. But I wonder if it is good enough with cartridges? Just because is way more convinient.
@bullsheeptattoo haven't used this machine in years but yah it works with carts. He has videos explaining how to set up with them

@@ivanmendoza8457 thank you bro! I'm going to order 1 soon!
They and the vlad are definitely the fastest rotary and fairly versatile. But coil machines are still way faster with less trauma.
Have a question I have a right arm sleeve there is a shit ton of black what’s the best voltage speed and technique to go over this thing again with. Using a coil machine. Mags ? Rs? Have a few skip lines and it sucks packing all this black to see skips
How about catridges with a DK?? Can someone give me a review? and switching needles? Smaller grouping less voltage??
JUST USE STANDARD NEEDLES. These ain’t make for carts. There’s no point
Appreciate it!
Just bought one. Can’t wait to see for myself how great this machine is. Any recommendations on needles? I use cartridges 99 percent of the time

That’s why coils for a power liner makes more sense ..you can have a slower hard hitting machine that’s nicer to the skin..
is this good for thin liner (1-5rl) needles?
Yup. It does it all.
