Before choosing
Nexo One has an adjustable 2.5–5 mm stroke; battery runtime varies with settings and load. HM Norm is listed as a liner and HM Jack Rudy as a shader in this store. Confirm the actual coil-machine tuning and the required tube and needle setup before ordering.
Weights and included items refer to the listed versions. Adjustments and the selected variant may change the specification. Needle protrusion is not a recommended depth in skin.
