LOL That is nasty.

But what are you smelling your Revvy for? ;) Or is it that strong that you can smell it when shooting it with your mask on? Please let us know..... Enquiring Minds Want To Know. :D

(Note: Mine does not smell, that I have noticed.)

Smell the inside. They always smell bad, even brand new.

Arfff play in the mud once or twice. It'll change the smell.
Or you could put everything in your wash machine, with Dash Ultra. It should remove the smell, maybe :D :D

Mine smells nasty too even though I've washed it with soap numerous times. I have no idea what it smells like but it smells...weird (the inside).

how did you guys not notice the horid smell of almost all VL products?!?!?

they WREAK!

jeez they smell like a fish died then got hit by a lawn mower that was mowing a grass of molten plastic.


I think we need those green pine tree scent thingies made for revvys.

open up a bag of paint with your teeth and let the smell hit you in the face! seriosly most paint smells terible it might just be rubbin off on your hopper

no i remeber opening up my hopper when i first got it and i could smell it although it was a few feet away from my nose it's awful

one thing i don't get - from my experiences the black ones don't smell near as bad?

when i first got my warp i noticed it had that funky nasty plastic smell. my ricochet didn't smell that way but i think that is cause it is not the same kinda of material as the warp. i might be wrong though.

out of the three Revies i've had, two of them smelled a little wierd. One of them smelled like plastic but i was a strong smell of plastic. The other one was like InfinityBPS described... cheesey smell. Heh i know it's wierd.

I have three and they all smell like feet, or cheese. I had an Evolution for about a week until I realized how bad a loader it was, but not only was it a crappy loader, it smelled the worst! I kid you not, I could smell it from 6 feet away if the lid was open. My wife even noticed. It was on the floor of our bedroom and she was on the bed and she asked me if I farted or something. I told her it was the loader but she didn't believe me.

mine smells like plastic, i think it smells nice.
of course, i am going to end up as an engineer, so it makes sense that it smells good to me. :p

Mine smells like plastic/paint residue. It's kinda nasty when you are upclose but you can't even sniff a hint of it from a foot away.

Just run a warp loop through your revvie with the apple smelling paint. They should make a new leather interior smelling paintball. mmmmmmmm

all the clear plastics like in warps, elbows, revvies, ect will smell slightly like puke but the black ones are a difernt plastic and they will not smell.

my clear revvy smelled kinda cheesy. i smelled it as soon as i opened the stupid thing. went away after a few days though. clear warp didn't really smell. just smelled like plastic. then again the revvy plastic is kinda weird. foamy.

All this plastic sniffing is probably giving us a raging case of brain damage. My Revvy didn't smell bad, just plastic-y, but my VL pods smell like, well, yeah...

All colored revvie's made out of the newer poly carbinate(aka dont break in hopper hits) smell HORRIBLE.
Why? I have no idea. I have fun with it at fields though "hey my hopper smells like peaches!" *guy smells it, starts gagging*
haha

i htought i was the only one with a stinky hopper until now! I AM NOT ALONE! omg this thing smells so bad i cant stand it.

Yah..I got a new shell a couple weeks ago and I could smell the stinch before opening the box..I think its the resin they use to preserve the plastic.. keeps it from becoming brittle. Too bad they could add some febreeze to the mix..then it'd have no smell.. YUCK!

My clear revy stank "out of the box."

I'd have to describe the smell as if someone ate a moldy fish that was encased in swiss cheese, waited 20 minutes, threw up on a dead cat, then rubbed their corn-infested foot all over it.

Hopefully nobody lost their appetite there, but in all seriousness the hopper refuses to smell even close to halfway decent. I could put it on my marker and offer people a few trial shots...and the first thing they comment on is the smell of the hopper. :rolleyes:

At least I'm not the only one with a stinky loader.

Since I bought mine, the strong cheese/animal dung smell is very apparent. Mine is a smoke, but I thought that it was normal!
