View Full Version : Should I stick with the Halo?

I just wanted to get some personal opinions on this. I've been reading that Halos are either breaking the Sensi pin, or the electronics under it. Should I just sell my Halo and buy an Evo II? Also, how are your Speeds working with Evos compared to the Halos? I feel like I'm down grading but going with the Evo, but I also want to prevent damage to my gun. Thanks fellas.

the halo damges the sensi rod and detents..the egg doesnt.
I haven't heard that they are breaking the Sensi rod. My halo works fine, use it until you start to notice anything wrong. Get a low rise too. :) good luck!

I'm using the a plus low rise right now. In terms of rof, is there a noticable difference btn the two hoppers? The thing I'm thinking is that I don't want to wait for damage to know that I should be using an Egg.
Don't listen to that kid, he just wants to trade his egg2 for your halo. The egg2's feedrate is about 16-17bps, as stated on the box. Halo's are 22+. Most likely you don't damage your sensi assembly. I don't think anyone else has, just by using a halo.

please check this thread (http://www.angel-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12074).
I started the rumours, but (like skel said) i think the damaged sensi element is due to a combination of reasons. Anyway the advantages of the halo B are so much bigger then those of the eggy! (i know i own both..)
It is possible that the halo can damage the sensi element, but it can not! damage the sensi rod!!

The only thing the halo has "damaged" is that yellow strip under the sensi rod. It has damaged it on IR3s. It happens like after 20 cases of paint go through it. It takes 5 mins to fix it. It does no long term damage to the gun. I am going to get a halo and ditch my evo2. If I were you I would definately go with a halo.

im going halo when i get my speed next week. plus i hate all that weight the egg puts on the back and the door is hard to open/close while holding you gun without having the hopper spin around you feedneck.

I have a halo b and have no problems. The only thing is is it holds less paint and makes you shoot faster. kind of an oxi morone!

i have a halo, and it works flawlessly, and i will be getting the new software, which i think is supposed to be faster, and use less pressure like the TE software. and it will have an anti jam program. after that u should never have any problems.

Stick with the halo, the Egg is too slow, and that damn neck on it raises your hopper like more then a foot over your gun, easy shot (trust me) and if you use a halo you really dont need your sensi, i dont when i use the halo, and i havnt chopped a ball yet.now using a reloader or an egg you kind of need the sensi or your screwed...

That's true, I don't was use my sensi when I'm using my Halo. I haven't tried walking the trigger at full speed without sensi though, have you had any problems doing that? I can't ever get the sensi to work properly though... I wish the Angel had a Vision like my Impulse... never had a problem with that.

next time calibrate the sensi first , think your probs will go away then..(give it 5 to 7 slow shots each time you turn it on)
HALO B all the way. I haven't had a single problem since I've had it. Keeps up very well, much faster than the Evl2 anyway.

why would you not use sensi when you used a halo? what would be the point of that?

I hope this isn't a repetitve question, but I have l searched the other threads. I have a customer who is having two problems with his Speed. First he is chopping balls, and second he is having erratic shot problems. Basically, every once in a while one shot will not bring the bolt forward enough to shoot the ball properly. Any angel tech types have any ideas about what to tell him. I have had other customers switch to an egg and solve the chop problem, but if there is something else he can do besides changing out the Halo that would be better.

ehhh, that doesn't sound too good, umm... first clean out the sensi, that sometimes helps, that might help solve the chopping, uhh.. dont know what to say about the bolt's action though...that sounds kind of like a preassure prob.

What's the LPR presure? sounds like it's to low.
As for the chopping, is one of his ball detents stuck in the housing?
Does he turn his senso on? and does he calibrate his sensi each time he turns on his speed?
Has he set up the ram correctly?

we had one come in to the store, fresh out of the box w/ one of the detents stuck in the housing...

Are you boys forgetting the 30bps cap when sensi is on? eeesh, I'm using sensi no matter what, allows me to have more windows of opportunity.
Natalie:::: Could you be more specific? Has he chorno'd the marker? Has he charged it TWICE? What air system is he using? Is there any dropoff? First shot dropoff? Do you own/work at a store? If so, get your hands on an angel toolkit. We can go from there if you answer those questions.

yeah you guys need to stop snorting pixie sticks....
a halo will not prevent you from chopping...if you shoot 5bps, you will still chop with a halo if sensi is off. Anybody who has ever owned a LCD (me) knows that even with a halo, you still chop like a mofo

Thanks guys! I will get more information and check all the stuff you have suggested first. As for the chopping it is doing with the Sensi on and off. He says he has calibrates it each time, but I'm not so sure he is (he gave me a funny look when I said that). I printed the instructions and told him to follow the calibrating instructions and see if that helps. As for the shot the velocity of the shot is dropping off like a first shot drop off, but he says it will do it other than first shot. For instance, three or four times during a game. I do own a shop and do have the Angel tools and kits. We are just waiting for a training class to become available to handle these odd ball cases. Thanks for the feedback. I will get back with you.

just put the lpr gauge in there make sure its around 80. then def clean the sensi out. take off the frame and clean the rod and insides. charge some more.

also, check often to see if your sensi rod is cracked
the speed runs on pretty low pressure, so if you slap some volumizers on and low the pressure even more, you'll probably end up pinching balls....neat-o

I've played 2 games now with my Halo and no Sensi. Haven't had a chop yet.
Not talking about the risk of chopping, but the Maximum rate of fire is lower with sensi off. I don't know about you, but I want my marker to fire at every possible chance I get.
