    140 round pods. what brand do people like the quality of?

    I'm getting ready to order a sweet 32degrees/redz pack on clearance. Its like my small one I use but holds a lot more paint. I'm using dye 160 round pods with lid locks now. I love them. But at 5.50 a piece. They are not cheap. What 140 round pods are of quality but not roughly 6 bux a pop?

    I have a couple Flurry pods and love them, The lids have a very wide lip on them which makes opening them very easy. The top which the lid snaps onto is decently thick and pretty sturdy. Flurry has them on sale right now for $2.75

      Crap! That's not an option without a seperate shipping bill. I may just go with empire 140 round tubes for 1.90. When they stat to wear out I will upgrade to the twist locks.

        I used DYE Locklids for a while but they're pricey to lose or break... Same with Shockpodz.

        I've had great luck with the old simple Redz pods. They seem at first to be just like any other generic brand (32* or GxG or what have you) but the plastic of the body is just that much more durable, and the caps don't seem to lose their snappiness or ability to stay shut.

              Well I had to go with options at hand for one shipping bill. I couldn't beat this setup when I've already got a 2 pod setup that I can use the belt from to double for the wife. http://www.discountpaintball.com/32D...-1_p_5816.html. I needed something more than the 2 pods for scenario play.

                    I generally go for pods in the $1 price range. Usually the GXE pods, or if you buy from ANS the ANS pods, which are GXE pods.

                    For pods that are a little more expensive I would go fr Fat Boy Pods. I don't like the Empire Pods, I dislike them so much that I wouldn't even take them for free. I will literaly walk past them on the field if I found them. They always open up on me, I think due to having 3 tabs.

                          Other than Dye, I'd say APP. You can talk to Titus either here or on MCB and he will get you a good deal for sure.

                            I'm bad about putting empties back in my pack, espicialky when playing with an electro or my Mag. I'll drop them then pick them up after the game, even when playing woods games. I try to throw them near a path or trail if possible. I generally lose 1 or 2 in a day of play. It is a lot easier to lose a $1 pod or 2 than $6 pods. People will generally return cheap pods as well.

                            I do have a few APP Wrapper pods that I like for horizontal packs. I had PB Mafia make me a custom 2 pod pack that I use them in.

                              I always put empties back in my pack. It would bug the crap out of me to let them lay.
