    Is there any way to decrease the WarpFeed dwell past 4 jumpers?

    I had a strange experience with my warp and VERY brittle paint. The paint would break if dropped from chest height... yea... unreasonably brittle.

    With the switch in my grip, the warp spins 1/3 turn per pull. Generally this is a fantastic thing. With the Advantage shell of this particular paint, 1/3 turn would smash/smush/crumple a weak ball in the breech with the stack behind it. Oh... it wasn't pretty.

    I'm wondering if I can reduce the dwell even more then the already present 4 jumpers.

    Is there any plans for a warpfeed with a pic that can adjust sensitivity, dwell, desired voltage/speed, etc by menu on an led/lcd? Or anything like that?

    Hmm... that's rather ridiculously brittle paint. Almost too brittle that I'm surprised it would even make it out the barrel at 300fps. You're pretty much stuck with the dwell you get from the jumper settings. I should think that if you expanded the gap inbetween the warp wheels, you could put less pressure on the balls and get the Warp wheel to slip by the balls "easier" per se. Since the wheel begins to slip at a certain amount of "load", if you reduce that by creating less grab on the balls so they slip with less load, I think you might be able to keep that brittle paint from crushing. Try cutting some round pieces of cardboard and placing them inbetween the black spacer and the urethane disk on one side. See if opening that gap doesn't help let the wheel slip by by the balls more instead of pushing on them and causing them to crush each other. That's about all I can think of, other than shooting different paint.

      To add to BlackVCG's post, you could try smearing a bit of vegetable oil on the impeller wheels, to let them slip a bit easier (less friction) over the advantage shell paint.
