I hate myself

[Dern]

HAA HA HAA.. jsut kidding. That really sucks about the scratch. Are you still going to use that lense in games? ISN'T THAT DANGEROUS!

[FooTemps]

ha ha! That's why I get a v-force! lol, and again... HA HA!

btw: If you try to kill me you're screwed!

Why I went V-Force as well. I still have my Xray(JT clone) and bah, V-force is soooo nice. I can pop mine out, and put them back in, in like 10 seconds.

One thing I don't like about them, Paint seems to get under where the lense is in contact with the mask. I've seen worse with JT though. I've seen a guy take paint in the eye from getting under that rubber lense holder thingymabob.

People always complain about JT Lens when I can switch one out inbetween rounds... D:

Even ask the refs at splat attack, my proteus had smoke lens, and I couldn't see anything, bought some clear ones... before they even started the next game I had my lens put in... they were like wtf did you borrow someone else's mask? (I hang out with them) No, I switched mine out.

I just got skillz

I should make a video explaining how to do it

If I'm at home I dump the mask (minus the lense obviously) in some warm water this does a few things,
1. Cleans it ..duh!
2. Re-shapes it.
3. Warms the plastic and makes it softer.

Then start with the 2 nose pieces and work outwards, easy as that... no tools required.

I too looked at the morph/v force mainly because the lense doesn't actually sit in a frame, if you get gogged in a JT mask and paint gets in the sill its a pain, you don't have that frame on the morph/v force, I do however like the smaller profile of my proteus!

I simply cut the plastic slots for the lens so its easier to slide in... (Just in the nose area) and the rest of the slots should pop in easily...

I'll make a video of this just for you.

As everyone has pointed out, removing and installing a JT lens takes a little getting used to, but you will get to where you can do it quickly.

Start at the nose (as everyone has said) push the nose up into the lense until the two nose tabs are 1/2 on, then you can actually pull on the rubber mask and stretch it to get the tabs the rest of the way in. Do the same with the tabs under the eyes - get one side on, then pull from the other side to get it the rest of the way on. The top three pretty much just push right on.

I use a small towel to protect my hands while I'm working. Never use a hard object, let alone a sharp one.

I don't recommend getting the mask wet unless you have non-thermal lenses. Getting moisture on the foam between the lenses is a quick way to ruin a lense. Certainly once the lenses have been in and out a few times the rubber loosens a little and it gets easier.

Oh, one more thing - the time to come on AO and ask advice is BEFORE you screw up! This is not a cut at personman, but I've seen this many times - something doesn't go right, guy gets all angry, screws up, THEN comes on all angry, only to find several ppl who have solved the problem and are willing to help. Gotta keep your cool!

Also the mask needs to break in a little. The first 2 times is a little tough, but after that it's cake. I can change my flex in a minute.
