Whats Your Hopper Of Choice ?

[going_home]

I've been using an Empire B for like 7 years.
Just recently picked up a Rotor.

Whats your preferred hopper ?

The Empire B never let me down, I just got sick of buying shells for it.

One problem is the Tac One started acting up with the Rotor.
Last two times out it flat out wouldnt fire, with a full hopper,
yet it dry fired like a banshee at the house.
I'm going to test it tomorrow with the Empire B, but the only variable is the Rotor.
It went from working great to not at all.

The MacDev Drone works great with the Rotor so .......

I use a Pinokio on my mags, and I have two Halo Bs for my Angels, Excal, Diadem, Ego (electros in general).

To be honest, I prefer a 12v revvy for rec play, and always have one around.

I'm a Prophecy guy for my motorized hopper needs. I've run it on my electros, my Cocker, and my J2 pump. Seems like overkill on the J2, but I liked having the capacity at a bigger event. When a grav hopper is the ticket, I've got the new-model Sport Shot, which works great on my pumps.

Having watched Bob Long's videos testing the G6R lately, it reminded me why I'm not a fan of hoppers that are slaved to eyes. Once the paint is gone, those things are insanely loud, spinning nonstop!

Revi...the really old ones with a lid from a viewloader pod. Best, most durable hopper made, hands down.

That doesn't count as three votes for a revvy, punkncat.

Although I agree. I'll probably stick with my revvy forever. If for some reason I ever need to outshoot that, I need to examine my strategy, not my hopper.

Dont like empires, most people i know with one have had to send it in for something. Its to complicated, and they crack and brake. I got a rotor and love it, and it feels like a hopper i will have for a long time.
For rec ball with my epic i am going with a revi or gravity.

I think you know the one going_home. Its great for shooting renters.

im still running the surviving one of two fastas. and a 12v revvy that actually just had the eyes die on me this past weekend......i think ill be in the market for something new soon. i like the size and simplicity of the rotor.

[druid]

I have a V35 Halo I like a lot but since I never take my markers out of semi,it's not enough to warrant anything much more than a 12V Revvi. Since I average a 6-9bps walk...I don't need anything faster really...

prophecy

I have 3 prophecies and 2 Halos all with the rip drive. I love them for the fact that on startup if they don't load properly you can use the rip drive on the bottom them to feed. If the loader jams, gun jams, or batteries die in it, you can use the rip drive to feed balls.

I havent heard of any issues with mags using Rotors. Might want to also check the feedneck to see if there is something up with the way the loader sits in it. Also might want to check the detents.

[Daze]

So far my prophecies have been exceptional hoppers.

I was thinking along the lines that maybe the Rotor is exerting more force on the paint then the Empire B is, but I will check the feedneck and detents. Thanks.
I like playing with the Tac One over the Drone only because I tend to use less paint.
But I dont want to have to use the Empire B on the Tac either.

[Fatalis]

You can adjust the tension screw in the rotor for a less forced feed. I use my rotor for my T2, Mags and my Etek 3. Never had a issue in the year I have had it. Never changed the battery's either. Still going like the day I bought it.

[Drix]

I like my rotor but my favorite hopper of all time was my pulse.

[Loneassassin]

I've had my Prophecy going on two seasons now and I have no complaints - works great on my Pneumag as well.

I also like my old Revvies as well, but they are kind of right at the threshold of not being fast enough for my Pneumag. My lvl 10 works well, but I'd rather not risk it...
