THEY DON'T LOCK! THEY ARE VERY EASY TO OPEN!

That's it. I'm making a video.

The ones I handled locked and ONLY opened when the button was used.

I guess perhaps they are hit or miss.

I've seen and messed around with the ones NoSkillz is talking about. They are not that impressive at all. They popped open pretty easy, and If you're using a halo, the extra paint is just wasted.

Probably, I think there's a few versions out there. I could be wrong on that tho.

Does anyone know if you can take the lids off and stick them on 140 round pods? Or maybe buy just replacement lids?

The ones I tried wouldn't open even when the buttons were used. Really - it was a pain in the butt trying to open them, and especially with gloves.

Watch out! Dye also makes pods that Look exactly like the locklid pods but aren't locking. THey have the slide button on the side and use the same tubes with the bumps on them, but they don't lock..you can just pop them open like a regular pod, or use the button. I accidentally bought 5 of these at 5.00 a crack thinking that they were the locklids.

-the ones I got are not Dye lock lids, they just look EXACTLY like them...they are called something like pro pods or something. Just giving the heads up so that fellow AOers don't accidentally buy the wrong pods, like I did. I'll probably end up buying the real lock lids someday.

It depends on how you close them I guess. I can close the pods without sealing them and have them pop pen easy. When closed right, they don't open. I can make a movie too!

I got my six pack for $24. $1 more than the Fat Boy tubes. Not a bad deal. They have payed for themselves already in no lost paint. I've lost a pod of paint almost every time I go out rec balling with regular tubes.

I like how you automatically assume all people are stupid except for you. Have you ever bothered to look at your pods? There is no locking mechanism. It is a hinge and a lever.

I was actually going to go through the trouble of going to my friends shop and opening a brand new pack of locklids on camera, fill them up with paint and then do the demonstration, but posts like the last few have convinced me what a waste of time it is trying to help people because there will always be the 's out there who will believe everything they're fed except the truth.

They aren't bad. i haven't played with them but some of the guys at Pandemonium had them, so I took a look. I still prefer Fat Boy pods, and have 10 of them, but maybe once I start losing those I'd pick up the DYE ones.

I was one of them. They did not open unless I pressed the button. Even when I made a bunkering move and slipped down. Two pods were knocked loose from my harness, but they didn't open even with me sliding over top of them!

So maybe I wasn't fed something, but saw it for myself!

where could someone buy these for the cheapest?

Thanks Iron

I did a yahoo search for "dye lock lid". Some places well them for around $4 a pod. You gotta pay shipping tho, so it's still $30 by the time you're done.

Pods are Pods... I just use wutever...

But anyways, i was in Vision Paintball in North Jersey the other day... took a look at the 6pack o em... they are aight... i could see the buttons breaking though. I just find it just fine to pop open regular pods. I wouldnt spend the money even though they do look hot...
