5.0mm Stroke Critical Torque Review
The 4.2mm stroke version of the critical torque has been one of my favorite machines to use since I got it a few months ago. Ive been tattooing alot with it and it has been a great time. Seeing the 5.0mm Stroke of the Critical Torque come out was very exciting to see. I was a really big fan of the Bishop Wand Liner, and this new Critical Torque rivals that in features.
I hope you enjoy the 5.0mm Stroke Critical Torque Review

The Critical Torque is an expensive tattoo machine. I see a lot of beginner tattoo artists asking me "What is the best tattoo machine for lining or for shading?" The answer to that question is not super straight forward tho. Picking what tattoo machine is best doesn't always have to do with the machine, but it has to do with you and how you tattoo.
Not only that.. a tattoo machine could be a $12 tattoo machine and you could still make awesome tattoos with it. Try not to focus on equipment, even tho it is a lot of fun... focus on developing your drawing and tattooing skills. A tattoo machine is not going to make you a better tattoo artist. Learning more about art and the skin will :)

Sick im liking lining with the bishop wand liner might give this a chance
I want to say I appreciate your responses my guy, love your vids, very helpful. So I did that viking tribal bear on my thigh like I told, your words of being tough kept running through my head lol. It was a pain in the ass to get the outside lines, only did the outline no shading yet. 5.0? Isn't that a bit more punch than needed? I was pulling lines with 4.0 and......DAMN lol
Looking for dedicated liner. You prefer the torque 5.0 or bishop liner? Great channel too. Appreciate the hard work. ✌️
@jameswojooffical Great review. I've been away from the scene for just over a year and am opening a new shop. thank you for helping me move to the Pen machines. Retiring my old Neotat LOL
Hey! Thanks for the video, I had the power wand 5.0 and I love it, I use it for lining, shading and color whitout a problem. Do you think the Torc 5.0 it’s more aggressive than the bishop with the same stroke? I tried the torc 4.2 and I find it ver similar to the bishop.

I thought it was a slightly more forgiving hit. It’s still very powerful. But with the wand liner I felt like I was going to really hurt my client. With this I know I could hurt them but it’s not like I’m going to bust a hole in them right away haha

Can we get a review of the Tat Soul x Critical Direct Drive Rotary please!
Do you feel like there's any difference between the bishop liner or the torque liner? I have all 3 bishop machines and i'm quite happy with all 3 of them but i'm always looking for something better. Cheers Tyler.

There is definitely a difference. I’m not sure if it’s the way the machine hits or if it’s the extra weight of the torque but I definitely like it better than the wand

I see, thanks for sharing! I bought the Stainless steel grip for my liner and it definitely helped me line better with the extra weight, so could be it. I wonder if they're the exact same motors.@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial

Did the 4.2 feel different for you too? I mostly use the packer as an allrounder, only use the liner for a lot of fat linework or bigger RL dotwork.@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial

Thanks for the info man! Would you do a video about how to clean the inside of a (dirty would be even better) machine? I think it's worthy 👍

Hmm I’ll have to see what I can do.. only problem is a lot of these machines you can’t really open up. Which means there is no way to clean them. Certain ones to open up easy tho

You definitely should, with the new 2.5mm and 5.0mm strokes, for a fixed interchangeable stroke, it's way easier to change the strokes than an adjustable one after it's been carefully wrapped up to ones desired stroke and replacing the bandages or loosening it to change the strokes, don't know if it's just me but I wrapped the whole machine tightly to prevent cross contamination, in the ACUS M1 you just have to unscrew the grips and change the strokes, it's that easy, I loved it even though I'm a coil guy, and thanks for introducing me to the Vlad Blad, loved that beast of a machine even though I used ACUS on my channel, used the Vlad Blad for high end clients/tattoos off camera🤘🏻
@jamesohahn thank you for the videos. Keep up the great content.

Hey :-) I'm watching your videos for some time and i found one crazy machine just begging you to review it :-) It is hylabtattoo defender :-) 13500rpm beast, reminds me avenger 2 pro but only 140usd. I think many of us just praying someone like u to make defenders comparison to avenger 2 pro

I’m trying to think.. if you want to find one of those no name brand ones you could find one on eBay or Ali express. Who knows how long the motor will last for you but I’m sure you could find one on one of those sites.

@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial yeah, I mean I do have one from AliExpress that is a knock off of the Dan Cuban V3 or I think it is and I mean it hits pretty good but it’s just not what I expected. It’s a pain in the ass attitude I mean I’ve tattooed myself with it, and it pushes in and out nine round liner. With ease at 4 1/2 V so it’s not too bad but I’ve eventually kind of want to purchase the ARX wave it looks exactly like the Bishop Parawan very similar a little bigger very similar in battery but that’s also $1000 machine but it comes with a 4.8 stroke
Wand liner or this is the best?
