I've been doing some thinking. When a guys bored nothing usually comes out positive, but I want to know what people would prefer. A hopper thats light weight or a hopper that you rarely have to change the batterys. I'm a front man and hardly use any pods (maybe one or two). The weight of my gear really matters to how I preform, so I want to know everyone else's view.
Light Hopper vs. Battery Effecent Hopper
If you don't care about changing the batteries all the time then go ahead. Sometimes if you cut back on batteries in certain hoppers you can slow down the feed rate. Overall, you're talking about a minimal difference in weight. You think cutting out a couple AA's is gonna make you perform that much better? If you're gun set up feels heavy, then maybe you need a brand new hopper altogether, maybe a new tank, maybe a lighter gun. Not cutting out a couple batteries.
wasn't considering doing anything of the sort, wanted to see other peoples views on hopper weight vs effisency
what kind of hopper do you have and what batteries does it use? how many?
i use a toque atm and it takes two 9v
nothing wrong with that. if it feels that heavy buy a new hopper then. i wouldnt try to run it on one 9V. it'll be slow.
once again, i dont care about my set up, I want other peoples views on hopper weight or battery efficensy
if front and want small hopper and no batteries and ability to swap pods super fast oh and did i mention its the fastest loading hopper on market. grab a qloader.
no batteries, no huge profile to get hit, fast pod swaping at under 3 sec(about same time it takes to pour a pods into hoper), and did i mention can load 50+bps.
and at 129.99 a 6 pods qloader tourney set up is same price as any other high end hopper
Just buy an old revi with old style shells, throw an X board in it and 2 9V in it and your good to go. Lets you hit around 13 BPS, and it will last longer than you will be in the sport. Mine is like 10 years old and going strong still. I changed the batteries once in 3 years..
Why not have both? Pick up a rotor, it's lighter than a halo and it's good on batteries ;)
Qloaders are heavy, and fairly complicated.
vlocity is the best hopper
if your a ***** about batteries get rechargables
rotors are decent aswell but heavy
