The lvl-10 won't noticably be any different from a "normal" mag, but I've heard that it actually sucks up a little more gas. /me doesn't have lvl 10

[TransMan]

if it uses more its not a noticible amount and yes i am very very satisfied

[paintbattler]

i heard emags take up a lot more air w/ it than normal mags

[Army]

Now how can the Emag RT valve, use more air than a "normal" RT valve?

i remember reading some where that regular mag valves r level 7, RT valves r level 8, and e-mags valves r level 9 what makes the e-mag level 9 if it the same as an RT valve(level 8)?

[wes]

i think the "e" part in emag is level 9 and then the "mag" part is level 8

As far as I understand it, it's like this:

Level 7 - Regular Mags, MiniMags
Level 8 - Original RT with Gas-Thru Banjo Bolt
Level 9 - RT Pro/e-Mag/ReTro VALVE

The valve is what is important in the levels, not the body that it's enclosed in. Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong, as I would like to have a firm, grounded, and correct knowledge of Automags.

EDIT: Oops, forgot to address the other question. Army is correct, it's all basically the same valve, so they would all be equally effieicent. It may vary valve to valve, depending on your setup, the condition of your seals and so forth. However, using basically the same valve, it would be incorrect to say that all EMags are less efficient with or without Level 10.

Level 8 & 9 are unofficial, they are simplly used to describe the original RT valve (8) and ReTro Valve (9) that lay betweenthe development of the level 7 valve (AIR) and the Level 10 upgrade.

Note that apart from on/off pin length, ReTro, RT Pro, E-Mag and MicroMag RT valves are all identical.
