looking for a QEV

[Mactoshdog]

hi guys,
im looking for a QEV for my Ion XE,
cant decide between the 360 QEV, and the virtue one.
virtue is cheaper, which would make me think its not as good, but it is a virtue?
any help guys?

cheers

sp 360 is by far the the easyest to install and uninstall due to the fact that you use an allen key in the same way as a banjo, but the virtue one you have to turn the whole thing and dosent use the allen key just you fingers

i know people that could install it if i couldent, i was wondering which one is the most effective / best value for money?

The Smart Parts 360 QEV is the most likely to fail.
Its more likely to become blocked up and stop working.
It also has the lowest performance when it is working. (in terms of how much air it vents)



Virtues QEVs are just an off the shelf part by clippard.
Clippard are a real pneumatics company, so they know their stuff and are capable of designing far better valves than any paintball company.

They are cheaper because they are made in huge quantities, for various applications, not just for paintball.
They are much better quality.

If you could buy direct from clippard instead of going through virtue, it would be even cheaper.
