First of all i was reluctant to buy the x-valve since I don't normally use a lot of paint anyway. But with all the hype I just gave in. Well I rec'd my new x-valve last Friday but because of prior engagements (and no air), I wasn't able to install it until last night. Boy I tell you, I felt like a kid that could wait for xmas. Anyways, being a technical person I read over the instructions on the enclosed CD (great idea by the way) at least twice. When i finally installed it, no leaks but it didn't gas up until I cranked it up a bit. So far no problem. It's like 9 pm already (I get home from work late) Buffy just ended and Smallville was a repeat so I decided lets try this out in the garage using a trash can. Well bad idea, one missed shot and several paper towels later, I decided to take it outside. I figure one hopper full wouldn't hurt right? Well I ended up filling the hopper 3 more times. I would've kept on going but the wife figured out what i was doing and "ordered" me back inside.
First impression - THIS THING ROCKS! It was like night and day compared to my minimag valve. I have a single trigger and my ROF isn't that high anyway. I heard some imply that you can't cycle the trigger that fast to notice the difference when upgrading to an x-valve, NOT! And to boot not a single ball break. I am truly impressed. I think my spyder will be taking the back burner for a long time.
Enough typing, here is a pic of my minimag, not the prettiest but I like it! :)
