Vballs, worth it or not?

[johnson88]

Pick up some reballs.

I had a tube and in both my egg and halo the vballs would get double stacked in front of the area where the paddles were pushing the balls down the feed tube (i guess because they are smaller than pballs, especially when velcro gets squished). Then my egg made horrible noises and i immediately shut it off. Halo, thankfully, was smart enough to shut itself off.

oh and with the reballs, you could easily sell the rest off on the forums. Theres plenty of people who don't want to drop the $ for 500 but could easily take 100 for equal price per ball.

There is a website somewhere out there where you can get 100 vballs without the target for 20 bucks....problem is I cannot remember where I bought them from

problem... shipping 100 reballs to 4 different people will cost me an extra $40 in shipping charges(unless they pay). And its too much of a hassle even if they do buy it. I dont have the money to front the thing anyways, and yeah...
i can get vballs from www.countypaintball.com for $24, $32 after shipping charges. Is that what you were thinking of?

$40 in shipping costs for 4 tiny packages???? How do you ship your stuff....NASA?


And no it wasn't from county, I wish I could remember the name. It was 20 + like 6 shipping.

[jenarelJAM]

well... shipping from ups, usps, or fedex all cost about $8-10 each across the country. Thats all i've had to deal with because i usually purchase off of pbgear.com or xpaintball.com and they are both located closer to the east coast than the west.

How about lazer balls. The are made of foam, safe for indoors I would think. You can get them in any amount you want at paintballfirst.com. Starting price is $10

are they any good? i heard that they had problems as well. somehting like that would be even better for me, because my mom might throw a fit when she finds out vballs are plastic inside. foam balls would be alot better.

EDIT: just did a bit of research, lazerballs are unsuitable becasue you only get 10 of em for $10. vballs, you get 100 for $24. also, it wouldnt work for me because w/ force fed loaders, the lazerballs compress in the chamber.

ReBalls are definitely the way to go. In this instance you do get what you pay for, better quality, better reliability, better performance, better logevity.

The velcro on the Vballs does compress under minimal pressure and causes the balls to get stuck/wedged in the feed tube entrance of all the force feed loaders I've seen, they work best in traditional gravity fed loaders.

ReBalls dont compress very much at all and hold up alot better over time. The only annoying thing about ReBalls is the lube which is essential to them working properly.

I bought 200 a year ago, they're still working flawlessly.

bob i dont know what youre talking with lube and reballs. the two arent friends. are you sure you have reballs? because the reballs i bought never require lube and i have shot thousands of them. they advertise that reballs dont need lube so you must have bought something crappier.

[Iron Mag13]

NOT worth it my freind had some and by the time we were done we lost half of them.

[ProX9]

thats why you shoot them in the hallway of your house.

Actually, come to think of it, i have an extremely long hall that doenst thave anything too fragile in it. probably about 50 feet long.

Are you sure you're not living in a mansion?

I haven't tried lazer balls. I have tried v-balls and the get caught in my halo.

ReBalls need a little loving to feed through a warp, and it dont hurt none to speed up the journy through the halo neither.

id never ever put oil on reballs, they pick up trace amounts of dust as it is and eventually block your halo eyes, if you oiled them your halo eyes would be blocked before you even shot reballs, theyd pre-clog out of spite.

lol, quite sure. my bedroom, guest bedroom, sisters bedroom, laundry room, and a large closet are all on one side of the hall, so its really really long.
