Okay so I am trying to figure out what it is that I'm doing wrong, my lining is fine but when I try to pack color/shade it hurts so f bad. I have tried turning it down to 6 and up to 8.. Ink drops and stays in but I can't take the pain. I've got tattoos by many other artist and if anything shading felt good done by them.

Says to shade n pack around 5 to 6. Ez's official site days the same thing.
But from what I'm understanding about rotaries and experiencing on my Centri is that the voltage controls speed and stroke length controls hit force. I was opening up stroke hoping to jam color in and I was over working skin. I closed it up and can now make multiple passes with ease. Really working the shading.
The avant has a pretty standard 3.5 cam. So I couldn't tell you what to do there.

mags hurt way more than lining when tattooing self. i use a very slow rotary and go like half pressure. rotaries are more efficient, which means less pain. takes a long ass time too
