Q-Loaders??

[mag88888]

i have an rt ule custom. i was a looking for a new feeder that wasnt mechaniical, i just dont like electrics, and i heard about the q-loader. supposably it can feed up about 30 bps and up. can anyone back that up or give me info on it if they own it or have used it. thanks.

Yea I use one on my RT Custom. I can't go back to regular loaders. I tried a Reloader for a game and it was wierd. Basically the Qloader does everything it's supposed to. Feeds fast, low profile, light weight, no batteries, force feeds consistantly at any angle, manueverable, and has versatile mounting options. It's also got the best customer service I've ever experienced with a paintball company. Free shipping, free replacement parts, and all around great guys over the phone.
Here are the cons. Loading the pods is a pain. You get use to it though. It doesn't really phase me anymore but people look at me wierd and comment on the fact that I look retarded cranking the stupid thing. However, they shut up when we get on the field and they can't seem to get a hopper hit on me. I'm small too so I've got that working in my favor lol. But i digress. The other con is the low ball capacity. Each Qpod only holds 100rds. However, they reload really fast, just a twist and click, no spilled balls like with normal pods. The capacity is also fine for a frontman. I play tape and snake and usually walk off the field with paint still in my Qpod. If you're a backman though, just go with a Reloader B or HALO B.
That's my $0.02
Good luck with your purchase decision. Remember to try stuff out before you buy it. I just gave the Qloader a glowing review, but you may hate it. Try a couple different loaders along with the Q, that way you won't end up buying something you hate on the words of some boob on the internet.

It WILL feed that fast. We used it on our prototype cocker and we emptied it in 3.5 seconds.

Couple of issues-

the pods are only 100 rnds each (although I hear they are coming out with bigger ones)
there is no pressure on the ball stack once the pods is removed (meaning you have what ball you have in the breech and that's IT)
Manual loading SUCKS. lousy system.
Expensive. I'd rather have a pod that's $3.50-$5.00 and not worry about them. The Qloader pods are expensive.

Pluses-
Can feed in ANY position.

[mag88888]

both of you say that its hard to load the balls manually. how long does it take to do that. and if you carry extra pods in a belt can you just snap it on quickly? about how heavy are they filled with balls and is there any difficulties installing. am i gonna have to have a special adpater for my feedneck or something or does it just lock onto the top my stock feedneck?

Hi
was just looking a couple of weeks ago for the Q. I have 2Mags with Warpfeed setup. Kind of heavy. So i looked out for the Q. On their page is all the info you need and some movies. Talk a closer look on the Homepage.

http://www.qloader.com/index.html

They selling the 200Round Q-System for 80$ the 500Round Q-System for 130$.
The 200 with 2Pods the 500 with 5Pods.

Check it out

I've spent almost $200 on my q-loader system and the only downside to it is having to explain the damn thing to every other person that sees it.

Once it's adjusted correctly (feedtube length and prewind #) then it is consistant, fast, easy to reload, and has a nice profile. The problem, naturally, is getting it adjusted. I had to walk out of quite a few games because I didn't have things quite right, so I'd cut balls in half or have the spring give out halfway through the pod, that sort of thing.


Mount points with the normal config are any round surface. With the custom mounting bracket you can stick it on your gripframe or off of any round surface at any angle.
The system comes with an elbow and hose, just like the warp, so it's fairly easy to set up.

I always get laughed at for having to preload the pods instead of just dump paint into pods/my hopper, but it works out alright for me. I think I'm going to mod the silo so it's agitated, however - shaking the thing to get paint to wind into the pods is a pain.

If I were you, though, I'd find someone with a q-loader and ask them if you can try it out. It's a completely different system and it takes some knowhow and getting used to.

Heres a tip, use that agitated hopper you mothballed to fill you Q-Pods! It works like a charm! Get a Spyder plastic vertical feed elbow, link you hopper and Q, and go to town!

the qloader is amazing. people can't seem to get a grip on it, but BPS is NOT the way to measure a qloader's performance - it's that unique. it can feed as fast as you want it, well over 30 bps - the limit is that when you start feeding faster than that, balls will simply break. i'd like to see a halo feed so fast it pops balls. however, i did trade mine away - because the pods are expensive, because you really don't need all that speed, and because it doesn't hold that many balls. if you want speed, a qloader is way overkill for any gun unless you're using a cheater board.

[warbeak2099]

I'm definately going to get an agitated loader to load my pods lol. Probly one of those Extreme Rage 9v overdrives. 25 bucks new, how can you go wrong?

[BeaverEater]

I really dont like the logistics of it since once your pod is empty you really cant shoot anymore. With my halo, i usually reload when there is like 40 balls left so i can continue to shoot still. I've only test shot a gun with one, never used it in a game, but i really dont like them.

[sabrefanpc]

shot a qloader on a cocker and it was nice, aside from the cocker part

anyways, i liked it cause it was batteryless and low profile. it also was mounted under the barrel which ballenced the tank pretty well. i dunno about you, but my fingers arent capable of firing 30+ bps

[10-brink]

oh man, now I want one

[Bossman]

I Shoot a classic RT with a Q-loader.
Used it at this years IAO's scenario game (Blue's Brother's) People could not stop asking about it!
Sure it takes time to load, and the low shot capacity isn't all that great, but I didn't get shot off the field once the whole weekend for a hopper hit! Also a bit of a hassle running out of paint and not being able to use some from a buddy right next to ya. (happened to me at some of the worst times)
My mag is actually custom built around the Q-loader system, my own forgrip, crazy chopped up SS mainbody converted to side-feed. Ill tell ya, sighting over the top of my mag makes a big difference in the way I can play.

If you do buy a Q, don't throw the pods in the dishwasher, even though they say in the manual that there "dishwasher safe" I warped mine the first time I cleaned them causing all kinds of feed problems.
I really like my Q, suits my playing style, makes me and my gun fast on the field, and you Can't beat there warranty and service dept. (best I have ever delt with) .......Now if I could just get that HAIR trigger!
Good luck

i weighed it out a while back look for another q loader thread and you should find the weights, works like it says, not that bad to load maybe 30-40 seconds once practiced,

[B@THEROCK]

space weazel!

Do you know if the warpfeed adapter(with a cutdown feedneckoldstyle like angel v6) will fit the qloader? that would really lower the profile even more instead of that funny looking bendid plastic thingy. It would look cleaner and not so home made :)
