Hi I am a do it yourself person who just bought a clareblend ultrablend for 400$ from ebay. Can you please tell me how to test my machine? Also can you let me know if i paid too much for the device?
It makes sense to test on an egg. A little bit of background I have been using the one touch mahine for quiet a while now, I have progressed with that but got sick of the many problems with it and brought a clareblend.
i read the forum and found that a blend machine is the best for novoice user like me.
Any help is immensely appreciated.
You have a great device for your purposes and no, you did not pay too much! You got a very good deal for such a solid epilator. Did it come with an instruction manual? Why are you testing it? You can send it to Dr. Myron Heimlich in Texas for a go-over to check the calibrations.
wont the shipping to and fro be a lot of money? The machine came with everything and is said to be in good working conditions. I want to start using it but dont know how. Can you also suggest a good book I can read?
[color:#CC6600]Yup, just like Mike Bono’s book describes, eggwhite is a great tester. I liked that! Its so graphic, right in front of your eyes. It really helped me gain a sense of the “teardrop” pattern. I also tested on red meat for galvanic, to see the effects, and depth effects, of lye.
I can’t speak for voltage stability and consistency, that would be a shop test. But I will say that a big thing to watch is electrical shorts in the handpiece. Those wires are very thin, it doesn’t take much to break them. Especially on a used handpiece. So, if you’re doing a treatment and a few hits seem kind of painless and you get more plucks than usual, replace it.
