    I've been looking into the thunder because the rotaries I use now only take traditional needles, and I want to move to a carterage system. so this helped greatly in my decision.

    Shout out from Nelson BC.... I just bought the pen, the 1st thing I noticed was the " no click " adjustment... Kinda throws me off. I haven't used the pen as of yet, it just arrived yesterday. So ya I'm glad you pointed that out, kick in my ass a little bit that I didn't catch your video before ordering this one...? Thanks for all the tips and of course your time and efforts to give away your skills and knowledge to folks like me... Greatly appreciated

    Thank you for breaking it down, down to pulling lines, shading and scooting your hand back as if you were painting. Great technical advice as well. I did a proper apprenticeship in a family shop, loyal to the coil and exploring mediums as an artist who PERMANENTLY effects a clients experience and finished product, is just a nono. I have been waiting for a video like this, as opposed to a workshop at a convention half a world away. Aloha H

    you can back your hand up on the Cheyenne thunder as well, just turn your grip upside down so the motor points up. Still a little awkward but you can get it like that. Cool thing about cartridges is how you can rotate them to suit your hand

    first machine was the hawk which was 2.5mm stroke, cheyenne spirit 3mm stroke, cheyenne thunder 4mm stroke and now the pen which is 3.5mm stroke making it the inbetween version of the spirit the 2nd machine and the thunder 3rd version. it has something similar to the thunder motor but to counter the strength of hit as most critique said it was too strong, the half mm stroke difference makes the machine less fierce but the extra half stroke higher than the spirit which got negative feedback for lining because of snagging. this is why they call it their all arounder and have the slogan be an artist because they figured out how to counter the negativity of their other machines and now have the pen as their flag ship product.

    I hated the hawk pen because I am so used to the balance of the 90 degree orientation of the motor to the tube that I sold it to another artist. It's probably because 10 years of running coils tuned me in to that feel. This orientation also lets me know where the front and back of the needle is. I'm so used to it, that I don't think about it and all of my movements are instinctive. I had to think about it too much with the pen..... good review, and the one I had squeaked too by the way...

    Thunder (v1) and Hawk Pen (v1) are virtually same machines. Have same stroke of 3.5mm and operates on similar frequency - lowest 60 - 70 Hz and highest 165 - 170 Hz. The newest Thunder have more power and bigger stroke which is 4mm now than previous version - one shown in the video - new drive and the tweaked eccentric tappet. So, I bet that it may be some difference now between newest Hawk Pen and newest Thunder, but not so much between older versions. Also Spirit is not a predecessor of Thunder but a different machine. Usually used for black and grey and color shading only, with 2.5mm stroke. The most technologically advanced Cheyenne machine is now SolNova with brushless motor and very low frequency operation - from 25 Hz. Motor power: 2.5 W : 4 W : 3 W (Spirit/Thunder : Pen : SolNova)

    I have been using the Helios rotary pen since March. No squeak on that machine and it is so much smaller than the Cheyenne pen. You need to try the Helios, it has the numbers on the dial so you know exactly what depth you have your needles at. Takes all cartridges but not comparable with the Cheyenne cartridges, for whatever reason. Try one out. I went from Neotats Vivaces ( which I still use and love) so the difference was like night and day.

    advice to counter the whole grip rotating problem. Use a grip cover. i use a true grip cover and the pressure will hold it in place perfectly. Also the squeak sound, it says in the manual about using a lil lubrication like vaseline, but warn that it will make it easier to rotate which may be undesirable

    the pen has a 4w motor and 3.5mm stroke . where the thunder is a 4mm stroke with a 2w motor . I've been debating whether to move to the pen from the thunder but unsure with how much they cost . I had a play with a pen at a convention and I also found the grip not clicking not to be as nice as the thunder . When it clicks you feel like it's in place .

    As far as wrapping the pen is concerned there is a youtube video out for that, the first grommet under the grip is for holding the clipcord sleeve, and I guess cheyenne sells finger condoms with holes for the cartridge you can buy to slide over the grip and tape to the clipcord sleeve. The second grommet is what keeps the grip from moving out of adjustment while you tattoo, so while the squeak is annoying, I wouldn't want to lube that personally, not a fan of my needle depth changing while I tattoo. Personally I bag the whole machine and add a grip over the bag, as I prefer a larger grip, and cut a hole for the cartridge.

    Hey, the spirit is not version before thunder, thunder is for lining, color packing, and spirit is softer, for shading. Hawk pen is allrounder machine but it's not so strong as thunder for packing. The squeeking is not normal, you have 2y warranty, mine broke after half of year of efficient using, and repair is free is you don't use lubricants and oils! Otherways you pay for repair...

    Get an Inkjecta Flite instead. The thunder has a set stroke and no give. The Flite has 4 stroke options and adjustable give from no give to softer than soft. Not saying the thunder isn't a great machine but it's not very versatile. Get a Flite with the Cheyenne adjustable grip and you'll be selling your coil machines in a month.

    I assume you need to autoclave those grips.... do they make disposable style grips?

  • @FiresideTattooNetwork

    8 жыл бұрын

    They are autoclavable but I don't autoclave them. I wrap them with a machine sleeve and cover that with coban. This still could leave the inside of the grip where the cartridge seats open to possible contamination so I disassemble and use matacide wipes for the inside. This seems to be the common practice from what I see of other artists using these machines. I think FK irons is making disposables but I don't know if they fit the cheyenne. Thanks for watching

    IVEL & OLRA the pen is really great for traditional tattoos in my opinion because it is really easy and nice to make solid and fluid lines, doesnt matter if you want to use 1,3,5,7 or a 9 rl it is all working great. and for colour packing there is nothing that will pack in the colour so birght and fast like the hawk pen, on low voltage like 8,5-9,5 and causing really low skin trauma. i really love it for neo traditional and traditional, its good for every style i think, but since i switched to hawk pen from bci coil machines my lines are more constant, i can work much faster and my colorwork is unbelievable bright and looks fantastic, love the machine. but the proton equaliser (kawdron pen) should do the job same for less money, havent tested it yet but only heard good things and seed some really nice traditional and black grey tattoos done with the kwadron pen
