    Pod Loader, what-cha think?



    I just ordered one of theses.

    You can find them on eBay, got mine for $25 after shipping.

    Anyone ever use one? I hate loading my pods for each game.. takes me 10 minutes and I end up spilling paint all over the place. This looks like this will more than pay for itself with all the damn paint I drop inside the back of my Chevy Blazer.

    I'd rather just use a modified soda bottle for a less price.... why pay $25 for a plastic jug....?

        How so?

        Has a wide opening, so I can rip open a bag of paint, pour it in the jug easily. It holds 1000 rounds.

        The lid is spring loaded, tip it over, slide the pod like you slide a glass to get water from your fridge and fill the pod in seconds withour spilling any.

        It beats holding one pod in one hand, holding a bag of paint in the other, cupping the pod and pouring the bag and having paint spill everywhere, either past your hand or out the sides of the handles they put on the bags.

          Looks like it fills the pods plenty fast. And the guy that's using it has a 'Mag :)

          If you spill alot of paint while trying to fill pods, seems like this should help you plenty.

            There are a couple of brands of kitty litter who's containers are of similar size to that thing. The difference is that the opening is smaller, just large enough to fit perfectly into a pod. Its like 4 bucks for the kitty litter.

              I think what sells this device is the spring loaded trap door thingy.

                    I totally agree. I've used the Rocket for several months now and it is amazing! Once you get used to using it (takes about 2 pod fills to learn how to use it perfectly), you can fill a pod in one second and spill absoloutely no paint. It does cost a little more though. =)

                      Yes, the price is a bit high. I think I will still get one at some point though. With a family my size and we almost all play paintball, it would be a good investment. I have thought about making one myself though..... but simply have not had the time. LOL So they still may get my money.

                        There's another similar product... don't remember who makes it. Maybe Paintball Inc....? Well, it's this sack, sort of upside-down triangular shaped. I think it holds a full case, but it may only be 1000. Works well and looks great. I need to get a couple.

                          Upside down triangular shaped thing? Holds 1000 balls?

                          Could it be the Rocket Loader?!?!?

                            I like that idea.

                              I believe Xyxyll was referring to the Major Paintball Super Sack.
