1.5 Coils

4 messages · last activity 6/14/2008

I've been reading a lot about 1.5 coil machines for fk irons. What is exactly the advantage of this setup and why people praise them so much? I've used Mickey's, national, pulse, time machine and they all are conventional coil machines. I'm curious to try the result as I hear that with the 1.5 blending and transitions are smoother while working at low voltage. Any guidance is appreciated before I spend the bucks.
1.5 coils are alot more heavy duty. and FK Irons are outstanding machines
Thanks Mortis. I'm interested in a good shader from them. Any recommendations in which of their machines are the best suited for color work. I'm getting a shorty liner as well. Has anyone tried the Galaxie?
You can't go wrong with the FK machines. I have the Pyro set up as a cutback liner, the Galaxie set up for solid color, and a Zen set up for smooth black and grey. All of these machines do exactly what they are supposed to, the Pyro lays in lines so solid and smooth and the Galaxie colors like a sharpie.
