    What type of tubes do you use?

    I'm in the market for some new tubes. Right now I'm using those speed pods which I am really starting to hate, grrrrrrrr

    I want something that can hold around 140 rounds.

    Let me know which ones you use and if they are worth buying.

    Thanks a bunch.

    I have'nt noticed any real huge difference between most 140 round tubes. All of mine are 32 degrees just because I got a good deal on 4 of them. But I've since lost 2 of them and replaced one of them with an Indian Springs,.. I think. The new Fridge pods look pretty cool, though, and are supposed to reflect the sun off of the pods to keep you're paint cool and round in hot weather. When I get a few more bucks to rub together I may pick up 4 of them.

        Those JT Speed Pods suck so bad. :)

        Just get some FatBoy tubes, I'm ordering soon.

                  I use pbvirus tubes, they are like the same as almost all 140 round tubes. Almost all 140 round tubes are the same except for the logo.

                  ENDO!

                    I use VL 145's in red and green. 140s are always god, cause about by the time you hafta reload, the 140's will fil lit up pretty nicely.
                    i want to switch to either those speed pods, or the ronin gear ones.. the chrome would match perfectly..

                      I use indian springs 140 round tubes in a yellow/orange color. I've been using the same pods for 3yrs now and they still work great. And to color them up a bit I just put some stickers on them. Plus you can always tell what tubes are yours that way :)

                        I've used APP, JT speedpods, Redz, and Fatboy. I prefer the APP to all of them, the lid doesn't get worn out so that is never closes properyly and spring is still responsive. It's very durable, so is the speed POD but that rubberband idea is rediculuous. The Redz is nice too but they wear out.


                        Taking mags apart is fun, its even more fun when you don't know what you're doing

                            speed pods, bah!

                            Hey X-Plosive,

                            Those speed pods aren't durrable at all. I bought 4 clear ones and they all cracked before I got to the field. They were nice and snug in the JT harness.

                            Then I bought 4 black ones. Two of the bottoms cracked while playing and they were full of paint. Yours are really durrable? =( I must be getting bad batches, hehe


                            thanks for the feedback guys/gals

                              i use those fridge pods, 2 chrome, 2 blue/chrome.
                              i also use 2 dye pods.

                              the fridge pods are nice to look at new, but they do wear over a few games.
