Suggestions on a new on/off and possible drop forward ?

[CFD323]

I've been using my Shocktech drop and KAPP on/off for a year or 2 now and I've been pleased with the drop but I don't like the KAPP on/off cuz I have to crank it so hard to turn it on and really hard to turn it off. Today somehow I crossthreaded it and it's shot now. I was at the field so I had to go with the old KAPP Drop Zone and a regular on/off adapter. I don't like this drop at all but I really like the regular on/off I was using cuz it takes no effort at all to either turn on the tank or turn it off. I'm looking to find a new on/off that will work with my Shocktech drop so it needs to have the dovetail groove on it. What does everybody use ? What do you all recommend ? I would like an on/off that's not so stinkin' hard to turn when it's under pressure.

Here's my Shocktech setup with KAPP on/off. KAPP on/off's suck !

Here's the on/off I had to use when my KAPP on/off went down. This on/off rocks but it won't work with the Shocktech drop.

For an on/off, definately go with the Empire. I got mine a few days ago, and It's so smooth! Dovetail and it takes very little effort to turn the knob. (plus the knob stays in place, the pin on the inside is the only part that moves in and out)

I like my Warped Sportz on/off (same as a CP)

[CFD323]

Is the Warped Sportz on/off really hard to turn on and off ?

Where did you get the Empire at ? I've never even heard of it.

[CFD323]

Has anyone used the ACI Phat on/off ?

[CFD323]

No one else out there in AO land can give me some suggestions ?

CFD323,

The Custom Products on/off suit me just fine.

Wow! Thanks for finally revealing to me what PIECE OF CRAP BREAK YOUR HAND on / off I have!

I hate it! Now I can finally steer people away from it

[CFD323]

Which one Falcon ? Do you mean the Custom Products one that's pictured above your post ?

888paintball has the empire, I know. If your local proshop goes through National Paintball Supply to get their merchandise, then they will have one, too.

I love it. It's smooth, plus the red matches my ULE body perfectly

excerpt from 888paintball.com's site for the Empire on/off...."Unlike most On/Off's that screw down to release the gas or air this bad boy clicks into place so no more of the air shutting off in the middle of play."


Hey Cryer, how does this thing work ? I thought all on/off's screwed down to turn on the tank. What does it mean it clicks into place ?

wait! Definitely go w/ the Shocktech on/off!!!! It fits perfectly( very tightly) with the shockteck drops, and look great, and best of all, are the highest quality on/off I've ever seen. I've a Kapp on/off and a Shocktech....go shocktech...its excellent.

I replaced my shocktech with the Empire. Trust me.

Well, no, not really. it does screw in and out, but the knob doesn't move back and forth. When you turn the knob, the pin inside (that presses the tanks pin) is threaded, so it moves in & out. It is 50x smoother than the shocktech on/off. Everyone should sell their shocktech on/off and buy an Empire!
