I have one of these and although i like the machine i found the motor is quite weak, set the motor a 4v or even 5v and just run a 9 RS needle against some cardboard or fake skin and push it hard. The needle will eventually stall out . My FK exo or Ez tattoo machines just power through the same test with the same cartridge . Maybe it's just mine that doesn't seem to have much punch. I wish i could get a new motor to try as i like the machine apart from the slightly weak motor.
I was looking everywhere for a Flux Max vs Exo clone video and I'm so glad I came across this. Thank you for being so thorough and covering pretty much everything someone would want to know. Appreciate you.
@Casey T you're most welcome. I'll try to keep producing this type of videos. As you said, it's at least the basics stuff, lol, it's something i wouldn't have liked to know in advance. Thanks for your comment and encouraging words. Hope to see you around again in the chanel. Subscribe and share, please.
I've really been debating as to whether or not i want one of these. From a hygiene standpoint apparently FK Irons ain't it and these are better in that aspect. I don't need bluetooth and the e-give are kind of ehh
@Dod Dod greetings. Bro, i haven't run into any one without the jump start feature. I'll look out for one, should I ever find one I'll review it. Thanks for the comment
You cann't have e-give without a brushless motor, this machine for the price is the best thing you can get lacking the two features you mentioned. I have two EXO clones and they knock the real FK out of the park. They have a real ratchet grip and the specs are identical. If you want to spend an extra grand for e-give and bluetooth, that's on you. But I learned on direct drive and it is not required in any way if you know what organic give is. Love that this one has the left handed mode like the orig.
What other machines have you ran to compare this too? I'm looking for the best valued machine around $200 USD and I wonder if I should go this route or not.
@LilGrimPeeper here a link to a machine i would really recommend. It's either one, the "Inkone Narw" or the "Inkone Novum". The "Inkone Novum" has more fancier setup than the "Narw" but this last one has a nice touch screen. These are good machines and most important, they're budget friendly. Link: a.aliexpress.com/_msRVTzW
@@devonzachariasmedia it depends on your style and how you like to hold your machine, really. Direct drive is such a genius design, you can't really mess it up. If you're like me, you do it all, and you want balance. I need a super fat grip so the EXO or clone sitting at 40mm is ideal for me. Heavy nose and grips wide like my mountain bike, less wrapping, less cost, more nose weight (Offsetting the battery and keeping your focus where it needs to be). I've used CNC Q2, Q3, Mast Flip, WJX Maxon, Beveace Shorty, Bishop Wand, FK Exo, Xion Spectra, Javelin X and the Chyenne Sol Nova. EXO wireless or Beveace if I'm going strictly wired. Nimble, good center of gravity.
im a little bit confused if what machine im gonna buy , cuz i want to buy the mast fold pro , but it is pricey, and i saw this flux max , actually i currently using the 1 version of flux clone and im a bit disappointed, and i want to try something new and better , can you tell me the difference with the 1st version flux ? to this flux max ??? cuz it is way more cheaper than the mast fold pro
@Lester Quinagon Thanka for commenting. Greeting to you as well. Bro, you said you have the Flux (first one), however, you have to take i into account that back in those days they hadn't perfectioned the machines. Another thing to consider is, who you bought it from(store or company). Shout me on IG if you want for more details. The link is right up there in the Bio
@@inkbendertattoostudio at first it was a great but after a year i saw a lot of problem, but if the flux max is far better than the 1gen ill buy it rather than the mast fold pro cuz fold pro is so expensive
@arifpoloz4873 Greetings, if you're looking to do that style of tattooing with bold lines, I would recommend the WOS E50, you will get better lining with a 5.0mm stroke length. However, if you can buy that one, you can go for the EXO replica. Thanks for commenting

@f0st3r-ig0r8 greetings and thanks for commenting. I don't believe it, I'm sure about it, I've tried them already.

@bollol5141 greetings and thanks for commenting. Nope, I don't think the original disposable grip would fit. The body may look very close on the outside, but the motor chamber is actually a lot different
@user-kc7dg1uc2g greetings and thanks for the comment. Bro, traditionally shorter strokes has been used to do PMU because they cause less trauma to the skin. So i would say go with the 3.5mm stroke one, however the "Mast SMP" is worth checking. That one is designed for it. I haven't put my hands on it yet, but it looks promising. It ain't wireless tho.
@user-kc7dg1uc2g you're most welcome bro. Thanks again for the comment, it helps a lot. Looking forward to hear how it went with the machine. Carlos here
@Norzum un saludo. Pues la verdad es que las dos son muy buenas. La diferencia está en la tecnología que tienen, jeje, por otra parte, a mí en lo personal me gusta como se siente la EXO al trabajar. Por otra la Flux Max se siente más más de lujo, jeje. Cualquier máquina que escojas será la indicada. Solo considera que stroke necesitas para el tipo de trabajo que haces. Espero haber sido de ayuda.
@@inkbendertattoostudio la verdad es que me da miedo por que por el grip no se cual coger si una u otra, por que la flux máx me gusta más que se pueda bajar el voltaje y no de 1 en 1 como la exo. Ambas sientes que tengan el peso en la punta? Tienen buena estabilidad? Respecto a peso van muy similar? Mil gracias amigo por ayudarnos siempre tanto!
@Norzum, pues la verdad es que si son orientadas hacia adelante con el peso, y en cuanto a la estabilidad, si, si son bastante estables. Pues si andas buscando ese tipo de manipulación en la batería, pues como ya te comenté, no puedes equivocarte con ninguna. En adición, el grip de la Flux Max es un par de milímetros más chico que el de la EXO
@maxed out martial-arts this can be bought in AliExpress now. Just make sure you read all the reviews, check the factory development over the years (time in the market), also, look out for reviews with actual pics.
Thanks for the video, very enlighting about this machine features. Can one stop the jump start feature in this machine. AFAIK is not that good for the logliverty of the motor to have a peak start... 👍
Thanks bro, seasons greetings. I don't think it'll be possible to stop that feature since it's built in the battery itself. So, once you tamper with the battery it may stop functioning properly
@@inkbendertattoostudio hey man so yeah I found it on a website call Zac tattoo and man I’m loving this machine! It does great work, inlay $300 and very happy with it, thanks for making this video review!
@Alexander Vekwari greetings, bro, you can get one on AliExpress or Alibaba. However Alibaba will demand from you to buy more than 2 or 3, so i feel your best choice will be AliExpress.
@JACK and ALEXX thanks so much bro for you kind words. I was actually look at your video two nights ago. Looking for to hear what you have to say about it. Do mind if I leave your channel as reference whenever someone ask me what inside of some machines? Blessings
@maxi portus ya la versión en español está aquí en el canal. Quizás tenga el nombre en inglés, pero dice Review en español, está como a 3 o 4 vídeos atrás.
@@inkbendertattoostudio tenes un review de la fold pro en la que aconsejas no hacer ciertos trabajos o hablas de la potencia del motor. Esta maquina es mejor que la fold pro en tu opinion??
@maxi portus no tengo ahorita ningún otro video sobre la Fold Pro. Pero en mi opinión la Flux Max clone está mucho mejor. Eso sí, hay que tener en cuenta el "para que" la queremos usar. Porque muy a pesar de que la Fold Pro llega a tener 4.2mm de stroke, la velocidad del motor no respalda ese stroke para líneas, y tampoco el sistema de "soft-drive" que tiene es muy idóneo para líneas en mi opinión personal. Ah, sería una máquina genial para black&grey(2.4mm a 3.5mm) y para saturar color en 4mm o 4.2mm. por otra parte, la Flux Max clone o la EXO Clone(es la que uso a diario) debido a su motor de alta y de gran torque, son máquinas que con el stroke de 4mm hacen muy buenas líneas sólidas (un solo pase) con calibres tan altos como 9rs hasta 14rs(son los que uso yo)
hello friend, I bought it, I would like to know if I can put the original flux battery with the eghive in the clone and if it works? grateful for the video
@João Graeff thanks for reaching out. Bro, the batteries will work for sure when it come to power up the machine. However, neither the e-give nor the Bluetooth features will work on the clone. Also, you'll have to change the oring in the battery in order to use it properly. Thanks again for the comment. Hope you had subscribed to the chanel
@john I was gonna do a review to it, but i didn't like the fact that it has a weak battery and also it's too small, and since i don't keep all the machines i review, i decided not to but it. However, i know it's a good machine
@Jessi-Lee Birch, greetings. Yes bro, the battery is compatible with the original. You may have to remove or change the O-ring tho, but yes. It'll work right through
Oh wow. I bought the original flix max. Cost me 2012$ CAD after shipping from a licensed supplier and 1 battery is dead dead and the other only lasted 3 hours approx.
Bro, did you contacted them? Cuz that's a lotta cash. Anyone would expect more from a machine that expensive. I already ran both clone the EXO and the Flux Max and I can't put down my EXO Clone, i was gonna keep the flux max clone, but i ended up selling it. Bro. Customer service, get a new battery or some money back.
@inkbendertattoostudio of course. I have my request for repair email confirmation and even sent a reminder email. But it's day 9 and still no news. All I need is the return # and information but I'm still waiting.
Who is the manufacturer of the clone is it xnet?
Look like the model from Yilong
