Okay I have a question for all you guys and girls. A pre-owned Dye Rotor for £75 or a Viewloader VLocity JR. with a lot of upgrades pre-owned for £25? Debate!

Edit: This post can be deleted now. Thanks for the help guys!

Depends can you afford to not spend £50 trainning/playing?

If cash is no issue go for the rota, VL jnr's are great and do everything that you'll want but tend to consume batteries quite quick.

Been using a rotor with my Mini for over two years. 2 jams after several dozen boxes through it, one of which due to broken paintball in the loader. Rotor is simple to strip down & rebuild on or off the field, robust, easy on batteries (I use Energizer rechargeables).

Rotor.

Even if you need to save the £50 price difference to pay for paint/training you'll spend that in batteries during the life of whichever other loader you buy.

Got a Rotor 2 years ago and it still has the same set of batteries sat in it (hasn't seen THAT much action, but if you leave batteries in any other loader I've owned they are useless within a month).

^ This.

The rotor only needs 3 AA batteries. Ive used the same batteries all season, every round @ CPPS plus 4 rounds @ Masters, and training days. Even thou the batteries were still working fine, i changed out for new ones last round CPPS, just to be 100% sure.
When i use to use VLocity loaders a few years back, i had to swop out new batteries every month.

Both loaders are very reliable with paint. If you intend playing with reballs, the rotor does jam often, whereas the VLocity has no problems.

The rotor's shell is more robust IMO, and very easy and tooless to take apart, which can be done so within seconds.

Work out figures and convienience of them both, and make your own mind which you prefer :)
