The final durability tests resulted in 3600 hours of non-stop action @ 14 volts with 23 magnum needles. Beyond our expectations!

Durability tests
The Dragonfly consists of more components and moving parts than a regular coil machine! This is of course a downside but in the end the benefits greatly overcomes the downsides.

Our goal was to achieve a service life as close as possible to the durable coil machines and we are proud to say that we got truly respectable results. The final test machines lasted for over 5 months of non-stop action at 14 volts with 23 magnum needles in our test bench, without replacing one single part! This equals 3600 hours of effective running time.

We calculate that the usage for a hard working professional tattoo artist is about 4 hours of effective time per day. Effective time means the time which the machine is actually running.

Example: 300 working days per year = 1200 hours if you work with one machine only it will most likely run for over three years without replacing any spare parts. The normal voltage is also around 9-11 volts, not as high as 14 volts and that will extend lifetime further.
