| Review: |
This is a very simple product that is a MUST if you are trying to shoot above 15bps. It performs exactly as advertised and increases the upper cap on the Cyclone cycle feed rate to 22bps. I use a Rampage board, so for me, it is a necessity. Even though the QEV allows for up to 22bps operation, I keep my board at 20bps, just to be sure I don't chop anything.
I agree with others that the QEV does its job well, and consistently. I don't worry about it breaking since it is solid metal, and the macro-line hose is much shorter and less vulnerable than the stock line. I also agree that installation could have been made easier, but they give you like 6" of macro-line, so I don't see how you could go through that much and still not get it right.
A couple of reviews state that it just plain didn't work; that it made the Cyclone not cycle. I think I may know why. The QEV is offered in both HP and LP models. I'm guessing they may have accidentally bought an HP model (800-900psi operating pressure) but were using LP (300-400psi) compressed air and the LPK. Therefore, the standard QEV (HP) would not cycle, since there just wasn't be enough pressure. This is such a simple, basic part, that I think this may be the best explanation as to why it didn't work for some people.

| Conclusion: |
Very solid and well-put-together, installation wasn't really bad, I just think Palmers could have been a little more courteous to its customers and sent the part assembled.
Overall, if you have an E-Grip, even just a stock E-Grip, buy the QEV. |
