Halo B, Reloader B2, or Vlocity?

[Splat Master]

I had been planning on buying a Halo or Reloader B for my 05 Speed but after reading about all the problems people have been having with them (i.e. crushing balls in the feed stack) I have recently started to consider purchasing the new Vlocity because of the ability to adjust it's speed settings.

However, I've recently read about the new Reloader B2 which allows you to adjust the spring tension and sound response.

My thoughts are now split three ways between the Halo B, Reloader B2, and the Vlocity. Has anyone out there tried the Vlocity or Reloader B2 yet? And if so, please give me some sound advice as to which one to buy, thanks.

i use v35 halo b with rip drive. works great

What exactly does the v35 (or any board for that matter) do for the loader? Does it simply make it faster or does it aid in the detection or tension settings as well? I would think a faster board would make the loader more apt crush paint.

[uniquenewyork15]

well the v35 board not only makes the hopper feed faster, it gives you the ability to adjust it to 6 different speed settings easily to fit you gun

Nice. How much is it and how hard is it to install?

[uniquenewyork15]

well when you buy a halo b with rip which is like 120 new, its like 140 to get it. thats how much it was for me. as for installing it, i dont think its very hard i know a lot of people that installed it. but i didnt install mine.

OK, thanks for the info.

Empire 2

Why do you say the Empire 2? Have you used it yet?

The the first relaoder b was better then a halo imo, cause you didn't have to deal with eyes which can easily become problemattic.The relaoder b is sound activated and comes with a built in rip drives and comes stock with different speed settings, The reloader b 2 has more settings for everything, has bigger ball capacity. Read a brief description of it here.

I have a Halo B w/ rip drive and I don't have any complaints with it at all, but I have not used Reloaders or Revolutions.

i hate my reloader b. when ever i start ripping it will feed fine and then out of no where it just doesnt feed and i have to use rip drive, and then it will feed fina again. today i went up to bunker this guy and i was walking the trigger to pin him down and i get in sight of him and lone behold it doesnt feed while im still walking the trigger so my gun doesnt shoot hence no ball in the breech and the guy i was gunna bunker shot me and they won the game.

I dont believe the Empire Reloader B2's are out yet...

Correct me if im wrong and if they are out tell us all where they are b/c I'm interested in them aswell.
As for the research I have done and I considered the following
1. Halo B with Rip Drive
2. Empire Reloader B
3. Vlocity
I have come to the conclusion that I will use the Reloader B OR B2
Reasons too many people have had problems with there Halo's seeing Dark or 2 tonned paint in my area. The Vlocity is nice and all but off the 4 people that I have talked to they have had many problems and Who Wants Problems lol. As for the Reloader B almost all have said that one PLUS its stock with Rip Drive = BIG POSITIVE

I got an Evo2 on the new Speed

[zmaynard]

I use a reloader (which has 3 speed settings) this hopper has been the best i have ever used on my angel and i highly reccommened it

[FlawleZ]

What I've found through my experiences with both the Reloader B and the Halo B is that they both have problems intermittently. I've used multiple Halos and one Reloader B. The Reloader B worked great except it simply couldn't quite keep up with my E-mag. I don't know why, but it couldn't. The mag isn't too quiet so I know that wasn't the problem, and I tried it on my Angel and it wasn't the fastest thing ever either. I think it might just be VERY picky on batteries. As far as the Halo B goes, when it has fresh batteries and works how it SHOULD, it seemed to be faster than the Reloader. But, I've used 2 for sure that randomly will quit working. The LED will blink red and green as soon as you turn it on for no reason. This is even after its been completely taken apart and cleaned and with fresh batteries. Several guys use the Vlocities at my field and I'm about to try one out probably next weekend. The Eggvolution is alright but its not fast enough and is ugly as sin. And I HATE the lid it sucks for loading paint.

Jalo nothing can go wrong. But your going to need a tadao

jalo doesnt work w/ tadao ... the new intellifeed will but it is not completely released yet. jalo was an old hopper mod from jim at impact and it used a 5 v olt relay and the tadao doesnt trip it so it didnt spin.
