Hopper advice (< £75)

[elmarko]

I currently have an Reloader B, but I'm not entirely sure if it's in full working order (or it might be something I'm doing wrong. Sometimes it doesn't feed but if you tap it to make a noise it does rotate), so I'm looking to get a second hopper as a backup. I'd like to get something that isn't sound-activated, just for a change.

I have a budget of about 75 quid, which puts things like the Rotors out of reach, but then again I've read they can be quite problematic anyway (indeed, at the last walkon I went to, a few people had issues with theirs).

Obviously the Halo is a candidate, so it'd be cool to get some feedback from people with them.

Also, it'd be nice if I could get something ordered very early this week, as I'd like to use it at a walkon on Sunday.

not sure about customer service in the UK and if its sound activated or not, but the Torque loader is going for £55 on just paintball which is pretty cheap!

your money will go alot further in the classifieds on these forums. i have an excellent condition vlocity with aftermarket chip which im willing to part with.. havent listed it yet due to missing camera cable

Second hand is a definite possibility if the item's in good condition.

Re the Torque, I read that it had it's own problems to be honest. Every hopper I was looking at seemed to have a major con which rang alarm bells, be it crap battery life, a motor that was loud and ran constantly, etc.

Got a pulse, if your interested will get camera out £40

you could try turning the sound sensitivity up on your loader?

or sell it and get a rotor?

i have just got rid of my halo, but i can safely say it never let me down. only thing is they tend to eat batteries, just got my rotor and i must say they are amazing, and battery life is really good as well.

if you are on a budget, i would go for the halo, can get one on here for around £30-40. but it is all down to personal preference.

I'll definitely try the former, but it'd be nice to have a backup anyway just in case I guess.

When you come to use it at the beginning of the day, switch it on with
NO paint in it, as it has to spin and set its self first....

THEN fill with paint AND leave on for the rest of the day, no need to keep switching off as it is sound activated, and only feeds when you pull the trigger
