Best Hopper?

[Phobia]

right im after a new hopper and wanted to know which to go for.
The hoppers i've been reviewing are;

Halo B with rip drive,
Reloader B,
and the draxxus pulse with rf chip.

So basicaly i want some info on them from people who've used them to help me make my mind up.
Post away...

Dont forget the Vlocity

I have had a Halo B, not a bad hopper improved with the V35 board but a paint smeg will block the eyes, a bit heavy as well with the 6 AA's, then I bought a Vlocity, I prefered the shape of the hopper and found it easier to pot up quickly due to its shape, also a lot lighter than the Halo B. Minus point is no rip drive so if the batteries die youll be throwing paint!

Just swapped on of my Vlocities for a pulse so no idea what its like yet so fingers crossed

i second that

Empire Reloader B all the way, I've used every hopper going and always come back to that.

Halo, very good but if the eyes get smegged then its a nightmare
Pulse, has a nasty habit of smashing paint, especially fragile stuff
Vlocity, Has an arse bigger than j-lo and if it jams you have no manual feed.

reloader B or a vlocity/vlocity jr with an upgrade chip to stop battery munching
pulse is way too heavy imo and is prone to breakage
halo b is screwed if paint gets on eyes

i have an eggII and it's **** the door broke (of course) but in ireland you can't get replacements which i need by tomorrow.

i've been thinking of getting a vlocity because i can get one for €74.99 new.

Reloader B mate i would say.

Dont get an egg (battery door) and loads of other problems.
Havnt tried a halo, and pulse feednecks are weak so reloader b i say.

if you buy an egg with zboard, and search for a simple mod on google to make a more effective door, it rocks!!!

Ive got a second hand halo B, works like a dream. Its a bit on the heavy side, but ive only had a handful of jams, which were sorted very quickly and easily with the rip drive! even when i had a ball break in the hopper, it didnt smeg up the eyes and carried on working. the only real issue i have with it is the lid not working properly, its a brand new lid and spring, but the spring isnt strong enough to hold the lid open!!

Agree with ya on that one, the vlocity is pretty mint!

Although I'v been looking into q-loaders recently, extremly fast, faster than any other hopper I'v seen but just expensive and slightly strange looking.
