What to do??

[PRPB]

I plan on getting an reverse x-valve in a month or so. Now that the colored valves are out I'm can't decide on which to get.

Here is a pictures of what I have now.


Should I

1: Black X-valve
2: Pewter X-valve
3: Red X-valve, Red tip, and Red Halo shells
4: Forget the valve and just save the cash
5: other.... If so then what?

I say stick with your current color scheme, and go black xvavle.

[Empty Havoc]

I agree, black just seems to fit with that marker.

The main question is are you keeping that body forever?

If not,what color are you going there?

If you are,you might want to just get a used R/T valve.The polished SS and grey back would work there also.You could even polish the grey back half.

Other than that,I'd go black.

I'm not sure if I'll stay with that body. I have been thinking of getting a red warp ULE body. Thats one of the reasons why I'm thinking of the red X-valve. Not really sure why I want pewter.

I really don't wait to go with the rt valve. Mine is still a little back heavy and I was hopeing that the x-valve would solve that.

The other reason the red thing came about is cause I have a red and black jersey and the pack I'm getting is going to be red.

[RRfireblade]

If it matters,an R/T is still lighter than a classic.

But if you wanted to mix some red in there,red and black would like nice also.

[PRPB]

I didn't know that they where lighter, but I'm still gonna go with the X.

Mmmmm, defintely a black x-valve. I think the scheme is nice except I dont like how the body covers up the back part of the dye barrel i presume. I would go...warp red ule, black x-valve

[PRPB]

No it's a J&J barrel. I always like how it covered the barrel. Thats one thing I'll miss if I get an ULE.

It kind of depends on your playing style, you know?

Do you shoot fast? Are you sloppy on the trigger?

Have you actually tried playing a few games with an x-valve?



I have both an x-valve'd mag and a classic valved mag. I switch between the two, and it seems my classic valved mag gets more playtime because I actually like to play with CO2.

For me, the biggest thing about the x-valve is the reactivity in the trigger. Yeah, it weighs a little less (you've got a warp and a ginormic drop on there, come on), and yeah, it comes with an L10 kit (which you can put on classic anyways), but those alone aren't really compelling enough reasons to go with the X I think. And I don't exactly shoot very fast.

I originally traded in my minimag valve for an x-valve, but then realized that I missed having a gun that was CO2 tolerant, so like a few months later I was out shopping for a used classic mag again. You might not particularly care for this though.


I'd lean toward a ULE body myself, but you're the one who knows best.


Screw the aesthetics. The only aesthetic things I would do to your gun would be to cut down the feed tube and clean up the braided line.

I love playing everything in paintball. Woods, scenario, speedball. I've played with an rt before (same thing of course) and I loved it. I really don't have to worry about co2 cause I don't use it anymore.

The only real reason is for the reactiveness. I already have the lvl ten. As for the weight I just want to get rid of some more of the back weight. The weight to the side from the warp doesnt bother me, but the back weight does.

As for speed it depends on want I'm playing.

I know I've been wanting to cut down the feed tube just I dont have the tools to do it. Never got around to sending it out. Once I get get the reverse x-valve my hose will run between the body and hopper so that it wont be seen that much (I wonder why no one else has done that?). No I'm not going to still use that mile long hose there.

I would go with the pewter vavle to match your polished mini body! Nice setup tho

My bad. With the ULE you still have some of the barrel covered but not as much as the minimag. Also i would get a less huge ss hose or maybe macroline so its not as huge as that.

[PRPB]

Yeah I know as soon as I get the valve I'm gettin rid of that hose. I had to get a hose fast one day and that was teh only thing I could get. I've just used ever since.
