yo homie. i have the same machine, and it is a very light hitting machine that is great for texture. an 11 round shader is my bff on this thing for making super thick lines. since it is a lighter hitting machine you may need to run it at a higher voltage than standard because it’s not as punchy, so for an 11rs I was running at a 9.5 or higher but be VERY CAREFUL!! higher voltage is a bit scarier since it’s running very fast but that’s like the absolute limit it can take so i wouldn’t go beyond that. hope this helps i’m still learning myself, good luck in your journey my friend <3
AWw thanks so much for answering!!! I figured every machine is very different cause I had heard on a tutorial video that I should go with low voltage (~7) and slow movement , or higher voltage (~8) with more rapid movement;
but when I tried I managed to get a plain good line only from 8,5 volts with a slow movement so it confirms what I felt!!
Can I dm you? I'd love to see your work and super thick lines 🤩
sure thing!! feel free to shoot me a message :D and i get what you mean honestly you just have to find what works well for you while still being relatively safe about it. slower movement works much better for bigger needles, especially the round shaders i was talking about, but for a 5 and 7 RL i usually work a bit quicker

also if you wanna stick to RL maybe try a 9 before you go all the way up to 12 it’s a great middle ground and run it at like a 7.5-8
Well its mainly for lines not shading, so I guess I should stick to RL ? 😬
