Rotor Or a Prophecy
- Thread starter Mclovin101

The button on the back is plasticy and horrible on the rotor and i have seen on more the one occasion people trying to turn them on with gloves and failing. Also seen alot of issues where they wont turn off or turn on!and the rotor is hard to turn on?
Prophecy is a proper switch that you know is on or off and when it's working. It takes all the good bits of most of the ground breaking loaders of recent times and brings them all together.
The Rotor is just a fairy liquid bottle with a motor.
I own both.
I use the rotor for 3 reasons.
1) easier to clean if theres a break inside
2) less things to have to worry about, you dont need to change the mic level, or worry about stack monitoring etc
3) on / off. done.
Although,
the rotor is;
heavier,
has a more vertical feed position (pod has to be ontop of the hopper)
The prophecy does have great points, Its easy to strip but not as completely as the rotor, the rotor is very quick but the prophecy is completely tool-less. Its got a better capacity, and good battery life. If you get on well with settings and fiddly bits, the prophecys a great loader. and it sits really really low.
The rotor is very quick to completely strip, down to the motor like. very consistant and very hard to break. Little can go wrong with one. The battery life is AMAZING, changed my batterys once. In 9 months playing with one..
Basically
if you like fiddling, a prophecy will suit you
if you like taking something out your bag, putting it on a marker and going the rotors the job.

but thats were people go wrong dave. People insist on playing with things! The prophecy is fine on standard settings unless your shooting a luxe or something quite then all you need to do is turn the mic up
I was shooting a geo and had to turn my mic up from stock - Don't get me wrong, i was fine doing it and i can do so without breaking, i was just giving my honest opinion
Rotor is so simple and easy to use as already said and battery life is excellent.
I loved my pulse that I had before and thought that was the nuts but this IMO is head and shoulders better.

Would be the Rotor for me - one big button with a nice tactile click, can completely strip in about 10 seconds with no tools, awesome battery life (I even use rechargeable AAs in mine with no ill effects). Disagree with the comments regarding plasticy-ness, feels better built that any loader I've had since my Shredder revvy.
That said, the stock Rotor speed feed is GASH. Pathetic floppy fingers that hang down, preventing you from filling more than 80% and allowing balls to fall out. I ditched mine after one game and stuck with the lid. That's my only objection, other than that I love it.

1st gen rotors
The rotor is indeed a supreme piece of kit but if you have a 1st genny one I offer it will consistently jam with most types of paint. Asked kindly for the dye techy guys at Campaign to help but they said I have to buy upgrade parts as they will not honour anything under warranty. I am not sure whether the gen 2 rotors have had similair issues as I have not had the pleasure of owning one. Not sure what the difference is other than the shark fin on the rotor arm.
The tech guys were great helping me and my team out with marker issues but as nothing could be offered to sort the rotors out I have therefore got rid of both of them after a very frustrating 7 months and now have two very tricked up Reloader B2's which basically just work with any type of paint which is all I asked of the rotors.
For reference the paint that jammed with my rotors (both of them becuase if one jammed I would swap over to try the other). Ramp, Blaze, Frostbite, F13, All Star, Polar Ice, some pink stuff and a few others I cannot remember right now. The only paint that has worked without even one jam in is Marb, Proto (both winter and summer) and some very cheap training paint we nicknamed bird poop cos it had a off white sickly white fill with a very dark shell and when it broke on you looked like you had an unlucky accident from a passing pigeon or seagull.
Loved the rotors to bits when they worked. Shame they limited what paint I could use.
EDIT: Just thought I would add that some people with 1st Gen rotors have had zero probs, so maybe I was just unlucky. Love the Dye brand, and not trying to slate the products, just explaining my own experience.
