This is exactly the answer to my problems with the previous Wand and the Flux. Flush mount battery that can move to be able to actually see the volts, disposable grips and a charging dock. What a dream haha. The motor for the Wand is a little louder than the FK but other than that this is perfect.
Hey I just recently come across your videos, and I really enjoy them! Thank you for covering whetherr or not the bishop x critical battery can pair up with the critical wireless foot pedal! Cuz that is my only concern XD I can live wireless but not without a foot padel.
Thats going to be different for everyone. When i stipple shade I just turn it down as low as it can go, then adjust the voltage depending on the needle grouping.
If someone wanted to for some reason, could you use a third party battery pack with this rca adapter? Just curious if you’re bound to the critical magnet batteries or not.
Can you take the back off and take the motor and plunger out so you can clean the inside like the regular wands? Like all pen machines, without the ability to do this it’s a cross contamination nightmare, cartridge membrane or not, those can fail and outside of cartridges can get dirty from the work station or touching them with dirty gloves
I asked Bishop a while back you CAN NOT take it apart to clean the drive bar like the older wands. You can if you try hard enough with a pliers but it voids warranty, so yet another company not caring about safety and just putting out fancy packaging to sell you more shit. The whole industry is crazy now with these pens
Buttons aren’t sealed and are dirt traps, can’t turn off the jump start feature if you don’t need it, all in the name of hey it’s new and cool and lite weight. So silly. I don’t get how they put this shit out “after years of testing” and not notice basic ass problems
Hey man. I’m pretty gutted at the moment, I accidentally threw my Bishop Wand Liner (with critical battery pack) in the trash last week. It was my go to for bigger lines. I’m about to purchase another but thought I would ask if there is anything else out there you would consider A great rotary liner for 7-11rl lines? Thanks a lot for any info. Cheers
To be honest most machines that have a 4mm stroke are good for line work. In the past I’ve used, Cheyenne thunder, flite nano with 4mm cam, ego r12. Most recently I’ve used the flux, neuma 4. I’ve also used 3.5mm strokes for line work and there’s a bunch of decent ones you can use.
@@johnstrassburg1108 Went out with the trash unfortunately. Decided to buy the Power Wand packer and shader and hope the Packer will work as a liner up to 11rl.
@@pronateddraghook packer lines very well. You can push 18rs lines like butter and you can pull those 5.30 like with a pencil. The liner is in my opinion not justified unless you do engraving style tattoos
@That Tattoo Show trying to buy a top of the line wireless pen,going to do mostly realism but not limited to,and i don't want to own a pen for lining and one separate for shading,was looking into sol nova unlimited 3.5 any thoughts?
I’ve started working on a review for that a good while ago. Tested the machine etc and filmed some of the footage. When I get around to finishing it I’ll post it.
Hello, how did you discover that your shader might have been faulty. Mine runs slow, still able to get great shades however I don’t have another one to compare if it running as it should as it can still struggle with certain areas of the body :/
I usually tattoo with music on or Netflix. So most of the time I don’t notice the sound of the motor. I had it running without any music etc on and I started to notice the motor was sounding rough, it would fluctuate between running smooth and running like a bag of shit. I was still able to use it but the shader that I had recently runs very differently.
I love the intro too !! This is a great review! Hope to see your six months to a year review see if you’re still using it … maybe you can look out for us and review the new completely wireless inkmachines cobra 🐍 that supposed to be dropping this summer idk man but I’m excited for the new machines
The ink machine scorpion X2 it’s probably one of the best machines I’ve used in wireless pen tattoo industry are use the magnetic system soft and hard magnets and neo carts which have a magnet attached to the needle to push it It’s definitely some space age technology closest thing to a traditional machine ever
You know what, that was one of the machines on my list of machines to buy. But they have just brought out a new wireless one that looks pretty awesome.
@@ThatTattooShow yeah it’s on my list to The cobra looks pretty dope but I’ll tell you the ink machine scorpion X2 such a Great machine I got it in January and haven’t used my Bishop shader since or my neuma 4 i’ve just been using my Bishop Packer to line and my scorpion X2 for everything else the Neo Cartridges Plus the scorpion X2 Such an awesome set up
Alright buddy, probably not to be honest. I stopped using coils around 10+years ago and have zero interest in using them again. Also I don’t think I could give a good enough opinion on them to warrant a review. I can add the Hendrix rotary to the list.
1530€ for the shading machine is a joke, mildly expressed…..Production costs - max 100 $ ( battery included )… Expencive bling bling ( running my shop since 1992 and this is my personal opinion )…….
Yeah man my voice comes and goes. Some days it’s almost normal others it’s like that. I had a serious chest infection after having the good ole rona lol.

I already got the Packer and liner before they come out these awesome new power wand, this time aiming for the power wand shader
Love when brands work together.
Oh for sure.
Great video. Totally agree that they need to add a run time feature to the batteries.

Welcome aboard!
What's a good voltage to stipple with the shader?
Thats going to be different for everyone. When i stipple shade I just turn it down as low as it can go, then adjust the voltage depending on the needle grouping.
Love all 3. Best machines+ best batteries
If someone wanted to for some reason, could you use a third party battery pack with this rca adapter? Just curious if you’re bound to the critical magnet batteries or not.
Yeah if you put the RCA dongle/adapter on then you can use other batteries.
@@ThatTattooShow thank you for your quick response! I just ordered it. 😊
I get what you saying about the shader I bought a packer that never ran right
How much heavier is it than the regular wand?
If you go on any website that has the machines for sale the weight of them
will be in the specs
What are your thoughts on the shorty battery pack? I Imagine it feels a lot lighter then the bigger one or am I wrong ? Thanks for these vids man
I ordered the packer I heard you can use the packer as a shader just turn the voltage down to 4 or 5
You could but it wouldn’t have the same effect as a machine that has a shorter stroke.
Can you take the back off and take the motor and plunger out so you can clean the inside like the regular wands? Like all pen machines, without the ability to do this it’s a cross contamination nightmare, cartridge membrane or not, those can fail and outside of cartridges can get dirty from the work station or touching them with dirty gloves
I haven’t tried that with mine so I don’t know. But I’ll find out.
Thanks!
Any news on this?

would u recommend this over the sol nova unlimited?
Which one? Also what are you using it for?

What about the inkjecta flight x1
What about it?
Are you guys going to release a review on it?
I’ve started working on a review for that a good while ago. Tested the machine etc and filmed some of the footage. When I get around to finishing it I’ll post it.

@@ThatTattooShow my 3rd shader now is exactly the same..packer runs fine ..I'm not even gonna bother sending shader back im done 😡
Thank you for info ..... good job
Thanks for the bomb video mate
🤘🤘
Where can I buy this in America ?
Any supply company that stocks them or direct from bishop.
Great Video!
Thanks :)
I like the machine ...the battery pak
I love the intro too !! This is a great review! Hope to see your six months to a year review see if you’re still using it … maybe you can look out for us and review the new completely wireless inkmachines cobra 🐍 that supposed to be dropping this summer idk man but I’m excited for the new machines
Thanks bud. I certainly will, do a six month or year review of it.
Ahhh I saw that the other day and it does look pretty cool. I love new gadgets.
Cobra looks amazing I wanted a power wand till I saw the cobra looks absolutely perfect plus I already have the packer and critical connect
Six months now :)
You should try reviewing the ink machine scorpion X2 With proprietary battery magnetic give its a sweet machine
The ink machine scorpion X2 it’s probably one of the best machines I’ve used in wireless pen tattoo industry are use the magnetic system soft and hard magnets and neo carts which have a magnet attached to the needle to push it It’s definitely some space age technology closest thing to a traditional machine ever

I’ll have to take a look at it.
Heya will you do a section/review for coils? As my colleague is a coil user. And he asks will you do a review on a tim hendrix panter rotary machine?
Alright buddy, probably not to be honest. I stopped using coils around 10+years ago and have zero interest in using them again. Also I don’t think I could give a good enough opinion on them to warrant a review.
I can add the Hendrix rotary to the list.
Would have been nice to see a little more extra on the machine than just add a battery on it ! Still a good machine tho!
Sometimes less is more.
True but in this case there’s tons of extra potential
I think it has what it needs to do the job, maybe adding the extra things like firmware updates etc just leaves it open for more problems.
1530€ for the shading machine is a joke, mildly expressed…..Production costs - max 100 $ ( battery included )… Expencive bling bling ( running my shop since 1992 and this is my personal opinion )…….
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. It’s a nice machine though.
Damn I can’t believe your voice is still off a bit. Must’ve been the worse strand anyone could get.
Yeah man my voice comes and goes. Some days it’s almost normal others it’s like that. I had a serious chest infection after having the good ole rona lol.
What a rip off
ugly power pack. the square parts is looks not egornomics. critical should remove that part
Do you have any ideas on how they can make it less ugly?
