    Help, please?

    OK, I just orederd my shiny new E-mag from Tuna. Now, I need help.

    1)What loaders should I consider?
    2)Is there a real advantage to an adjustable HPA reg, or should I stick with fixed?
    3)I like J&J, has anybody used the Edge kits?, and I need Autococker threading, right?

    Thanks

    1. Viewloader eVLution II works great for me. And its almost twice as cheaper than halo/empire.
    2. Fixed would be fine unless you are planning to use 20+bps while firing.... Make sure it fixed at 850psi and you fine.
    3. Yes autococker threads. You can find better barrels than J&J

      1) Halo/Empire no question. This is not about speed it is about keeping pressure on the ball stack.

      2) No - an adjustable tank will allow you to get mechanical trigger bounce easier.

      3) Autococker barrel - use whatever you like. Personally I would pick one good, medium-large bore barrel (I use .691) and use it. You have a detent and ball to barrel match is overrated. There is negligbile difference between the better brands out there.

        Go with a Halo or Reloader you may wish you had it if you upgrade to the Xmod.
        J&J barrels are good - you wont go wrong with them.
        Fixed output or adjustable? If they are the same price go with adjustable. If your going to save alot $ with a fixed output - go with fixed.

          I disagree on that one. Fixed output tanks require very little maintenance. The adjsutables I have had have required maintenance from time to time (both Max flos and Dynaflos). If you have a reason to want an adjustable, maybe, otherwise I wouldnt bother.

            1. halo or empire reloader B
            2. get a fixed hp tank
            3. you can get much better then j&j. i have a cp kit and love it. if you play with alot of different paint then get a kit. they come in handy especially at a tourney that sells paint that is very large bore. at a tourney we shot paint that was bigger then .693 and ppl with UL barrels couldnt even shoot it. but we all had kits and we were fine with the paint.

              I got a question now.

              Viewloader eVLution II cost $70 while empire cost $140. Can you explain why to spend extra $70?

                A) Empire does not cost me $140
                B) Its what I am used to and has, over time, proven itself to me. I'm comfortable with it and if I switched to something else would spill a pod on the ground everytime I podded.
                C) The Evlution looks stupid to me .
                D) I have not seen a lot of Evlutions that don't have tape holding something together.
                E) I trust the force feed of a Halo to be more consistant (but thats just idle talk cause I can't back this)

                      1. eggs break ALOT easier, i suggest an apache, they are more durable and reliable than a halo or an egg.
                      2. a 68/45 air america HP tank would work fine.... crossfire is also good.
                      3. i use a 14'' j&j ceremic barrel with my emag, and since i only shoot RPS paints, or empire, wich is the same, they are smaller bore, and work awsome with the ceremic since it is med. to small bore also. CP barrels are also good, i used to use one, but i somehow scratched the inside idk how.... but anyways, the j&j's are teflon coated, so IF you chop, it cleans out very easy. J&J, or CP are the best barrels for about $38



                      what kind of paint do you use? if you use alot of varieties, you cant go wrong with the edge starter kit, 3 backs and one front is all you need.....

                        its also faster and more consistant. and i also see a lot of people with tape holding the battery cover or lid like Lohman said. the halo/empire B is built better and has a much stronger feedneck.

                          I just thought that maybe there are some technical superiority between this two loaders.

                          I played with both and dont see a reason to spend $140 for empire. I though maybe I missed something.

                          To add: Stronger feedneck is so strong because its enourmosly thik. So thik that it wont fit emag ULE feedneck and you will have to either shell money for clamping feedneck or send down empire feedneck.

                          Empire lid hold by screw. So you need screwdriver to open. Not a big deal but still need extra something. On the other side I got 2 evo and both work fine and nothing broken as of yet (5 months)

                          You dont need loader faster than 15bps. Its a legal limit.

                          Basicaly its the same situation when you pay extra money for something you will never use.

                            There is a technical reason. Technically I'm a wee bit on the vain side
