        And where do you stick your pod while you pour? heh... don't answer that

        And yes... you're the only one. I see a lot of people spill paint and if it wasn't a problem they wouldn't have three products to fill pods with. (that bag thing, the big traffic cone thing and the tornado loader)

        I have to sit there and put the pod somewhere so it doesn't fall over, or ask someone AGAIN to hold my pod while I fill it, and when i do fill it, I touch a lot of the paint with my sweaty dirty hands and then I spill some of the paint. Also i shoot Big Ball that comes in those stupid bags that have handles cut out on the sides and when I pour a lot of paint falls out of those. I shoot A LOT of paint, so i have to fill 5 150rnd pods after every game, then get some water, take a rest, clean the paint off, bull**** with the other players.. all in about 10 minutes.

        Filling all my pods takes too long, $20 is worth it, really.. $20 is not a lot of cash.. some people buy veggie dicers and ab rollers for $20 on TV... well I'm spending my franklin on a paintball gimick.

        I would use the kitty liter container but the spout is too small to just dump half a case in. With this loader it has a huge opening so I can drop the bag in there in seconds, and then put the lid on it and fill mu pods with a neat spring loaded trap door thingy in seconds..

        That is if it works like it's supposed to, it should be here sometime this week

          Hey im goin to this guys field. we should hold the next AO day there .
          those seem good, but what i would always just do is use my pocketknife to slit a hole on one of the corners of the bag of paint, and rip it so that its just a lil larger than the opening of my 150 rnd tubes, then i just stick the pod in the bag a lil, turn the bag upside down, at which point the pod is rightside up, and fill my pods up real quick. although the rocket loader or the other one do look nice.

            Dude, I stick the pod between my legs and just pour the paint in. I hardly ever lose paint, and when I do its just a couple of balls.

              It's not so much about if you are "loosing paint" while you SLOWLY and CAREFULLY pour your paint into your tubes.

              It's about filling with SPEED and REDUCING the amount of waste associated with moving at Warp Factor 10.

              You = 1/4 impulse power

              Me = Warp Factor 10

                I don't understand how filling pods is so hard. All I do is rip a hole in the bag just big enough to fit around the top of the pod, pop the pod in and fill it like that. Then, hand fill it to the top.
