Frequently Asked Questions
Is the XNET Vipera suitable for lines, shading, and fills, or does it work best for a specific style?
The XNET Vipera was designed for versatility, so it adapts very well to lines, soft shading, and color packing. The adjustable stroke between 2.4 mm and 4.2 mm allows you to fine-tune the machine's behavior precisely for each technique. More solid lines respond better to higher strokes, while shading and blends are more comfortable with intermediate strokes. If you're concerned about consistency when switching styles during the same session, the Vipera maintains stability even with rapid changes in skin tension or resistance, preventing you from losing rhythm or precision.
How long does a 2400mAh battery last in a real studio session?
The Vipera's 2400mAh battery typically offers between 8 and 10 hours of actual working time, depending on the voltage used, the type of cartridge, and the pressure applied during the tattooing session. In practice, this means you can get through a full day of sessions without interruptions to recharge. Even if you use higher voltages, you'll rarely feel the battery letting you down. If you still prefer extra security, the machine charges quickly (2–3 hours) via USB-C, making it easy to keep everything on track in the studio.
Does the adjustable stroke of 2.4 to 4.2 mm really make a difference in the final result of the tattoo?
Yes — and this is precisely where the Vipera excels. The adjustable stroke allows you to control the machine's "attack" on the skin. With short strokes, you gain smoothness and control; with long strokes, more impact, precision, and saturation. This translates to cleaner lines, more uniform shading, and more solid colors with fewer passes. Many beginner artists think they won't notice a difference, but the truth is that after a few sessions you quickly realize how the right stroke reduces fatigue and improves the finish.
Is the Vipera's coreless motor powerful enough for thicker skin or high saturation work?
Yes, the Vipera's coreless motor was developed to provide stable power, low noise, and zero power loss on denser hides. At 9000 RPM at 10V, it delivers the necessary torque for strong lines and deep color wrapping, without stuttering or excessive vibration. Even on long runs or large pieces, the motor maintains consistent performance without worrying overheating. If you're looking for a machine that won't fail in heavy saturation or difficult hides, the Vipera handles the job with ease.
