@@ShadowCasterTattoo I’ll be more at ease knowing that the machine is more sanitary than what I get with my Bishop Power Wand cause the M1 fully comes apart for proper sanitation. I’m all about my clients being safe. I’ll definitely keep you posted brutha. Thanks for the review! Hope to hear more from you.
@@celine45 They’re both great machines honestly. After using them both, I personally would recommend the Acus M1 +. You can swap the cam depending on your session or personal preference and the M modes let you fine tune the machine to the way YOU tattoo. It’s the first machine I felt like was built for me.
It’s a great all rounder but it should be noted that it is a softer hitting machine. I tried the 4.2 and the 4.5mm stroke and thought it was still a tad soft.
Bro m+2 makes a great liner with the 5mm stroke and heavy weight u can even do large magwork with it....its no kubin or a coil but harder hitting than most multi stroke machines its just perfect for walk ins for me
@@ivanmendoza8457 I agree. I’ve used trash $200 machines that did Okay. Of they work for me, I think I’ll keep it. (Not like I have a choice) @adamdarklord said they may do software updates for it too.
The motor on the tattoo machine is very strong. The main reason it’s soft I believe is because it has aluminum cams, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see heavier brass cams sold by them sometime soon 😉 Once you get used to it, its amazing, you can get very deep saturation with no overworking of the skin
Anodized aluminum is heat resistant however it depends on other factors. I’ve reached out to Acus for clarification as their company stays “it can be completely disassembled and wiped down from the inside.” Some alloy is good up to 60 °C (140 °F), as temperatures above 70 °C (158 °F) can cause the coating to crack. I actually ruined a couple grips this way from another company.
@@ShadowCasterTattoo I use the 14rs often and most of the time on 4.1mm cam and not the 5mm. I understand that people have some issues to get use to the machine, but as soon as you understand it, it is simply amazing. Is going to be hard to beat this one!
@@bullsheeptattoo I 💯 agree! At first I wasn’t sure, but I quickly picked it up. I had to use it more like a coil machine. After that it was like the machine did exactly what I wanted EVERY time. Idk though, I’m hearing good things about the Nuema from @adamdarklord
At first I hated this tattoo machine. But after working with it for a few days, I started to love it, I used it a lot with 4.1mm, now I'm going to switch to 3.7mm because I want to make smoother shading transitions. I usually use it on m+0 for everything from filling to black wrapping, I rarely feel the need to use the other modes. Between 80-100hz it does everything you need, an amazing tattoo machine.
I dig the thumbnail lol
I saved the video to come back and watch it when I got time 🙌 🔥
Thanks man! It’s a longer one for sure.
@@ShadowCasterTattoosick video I watched the whole thing 🙌
You killed it man 🔥
@@adamdarklordappreciate it, thanks bro!
Very informative! Also, dig the thumbnail and the editing chops! 👊🏻
I’m sold that’s my next big purchase on a tattoo machine!
Nice! Let me know how you like it.

@@jrvega9559 Same. Supposedlyz you and autoclave parts of it. Will do!
❤❤❤
Im gonna have to get one
I have faith in it. I’ve never used anything like it either.
Hi! Great reviews and content :) I'm considering between the Criticual Torque and the Acus M1. Which would you recommend?

Thanks for the insight! It definitely feels less throaty that my other pens. Reminds me of how my coils hit.

@@adamdarklord thanks for the add on☺️ I love tech and collect machines. Love knowing why they do what they do.
Is it heat resistant?

I pull a 14rs and a 18rl with this machine easy. I'll make a vid about it soon. People are talking a bunch of BS about this machine. It's amazing.
Same, it literally has no trouble with anything so far. Fk fan boys gonna hate 😆
