- VL Quantum (I seriously think a purely gravity fed hopper works better)
- Some gravity fed hopper
- eVLution II (good but not as good as the eVLution 3)
- Empire Reloader B
- Halo B
- Revolution
Marker Setup:
WGP Trilogy Competition - Black/Red
- Smart Parts Freak Jr. Kit
- WGP 50/3,000 Aluminum HPA Tank
- ViewLoader eVLution 3 (overkill for this setup I know)
Kingman Spyder Rodeo - Black
- Dye Sticky Grips
- Polished Internals
- Spyder Imagine Front Block
- Spyder Imagine Gas Through Grip
- Spyder Imagine ASA
Strengths:
- Fast
- Cheaper than a Halo/VLocity/Pulse
- It holds more paint than many loaders
Weaknesses:
- Small Feed Neck
- loud
Review:
The other day I was going to get a eVLution II for my Spyder Imagine (which I don't have any more) . Which already feeds much faster than was needed for my Imagine.. but I thought what the heck and bought a eVLution III as it would save me money in the long run when I got a faster marker. Well anyway yesterday I got to test it out and I was very impressed, it was fast and didn't jam once the whole day? Well anyway the only bad things I really have to say about it is it has a small feed neck, as it slides around (even on a clamping feed neck) so I put some tape on it to make it wider. Also it is somewhat loud when its loading...but other than that its perfect it does what I need it to...and it feeds only 2bps less than a Halo and its about $60 cheaper. It's the best loader in the price range and can keep up with most markers... it's not quite as good as Halo B, Empire Reloader B or B2, VLocity or Pulse.. but if you don't have enough money to get one of those then I would defiantly suggest the eVLution 3.

Conclusion:
A great loader for a decent price. It only feeds 2 bps less than a halo, and I would suggest it to anyone who doesn't have the cash to get a more expensive loader! It's defiantly the best loader in it's price range.

quote:Originally posted by Dynasty1Abe this was a terrible review cuz it didnt describe the good points of the hopper at all. Except for the fact that you mentioned that it was fast and could shoot 2 bps slower than a halo, which really isnt that great of an acomplishment. I really dont think this is all that great of a hopper anyways and you didnt say anything to make it sound good. WOW you must feel special that you have a spyder imagine. NOOB
If you dont like his review then say so, but dont insult the guy because you dont like his marker. Why dont you take that internet tough guy BS somewhere else.
im tired of seeing "loud" written down as a weakness or "quiet" as a strength on loaders. the only time you use the loader is when you are shooting unless its a continuous agitation. And since the marker shooting is louder than the loader loading, it really has no bearing what so ever.
The review was not that bad. My only beef with eggs is breaking shells and feed necks, so keep the review updated if you have that problem or viewloader addressed it. Also the dwell settings in the nerve manual were very wrong when I had one, so check the boards to see whats working for people.
I like yelling..keep the equipment noisy so I have an excuse.

i agree, his review was ok, but dont make fun of him for his imagine
Hmm.... I'm going to resist voicing my dislike for Ions and Spyders.... I think that just might me your feedneck it doesn't fit into, I don't believe anybody else had a problem.

No eggys have small feednecks in all markers I have tried.. and no not just Spyders.. Shockers and other markers too.
it says on actionvillage that it only does 22(the halo) and that the egg 3 does 23 so if we went by them egg 3 is bps faster. im not trying to be an ass here just settin this straight
Yeah i had a question about this hopper, i bought it yesterday and was trying it out and noticed that it was feeding really slowly, i turned it off and turned it back on and it was spinning alot faster then slowed back down again, i have really crappy batteries in it and i was wondering if the batteries are the difference or if i got a defective hopper. Please reply.. thank you

that depends, are you trying it when the hopper is empty? mine does that too, but I believe - and read it somewhere - that it could be because the board detects that no balls are falling , so it may think that the hopper is empty, and slows down to save the batteries.
To keep things straight... HALO feeds 22-25 bps.. that is true... halo with victory board it feeds 29-32 bps.
Evolution III feeds 23 bps. - This is because of zboard.
Now Halo helps in the balance of the marker. How??
well evloution brings it's wieghts way more to the back of the marker. You can see that when Halo is installed on the feedneck, its kinda in the middle more.
Weight??? Halo is heavier by few ounces.
SPENDING... Evlution is cheaper..
durability of shell? Halo is more durable.
Internals and jamming.... Evlution is less on jamming and better in internals for durability. - I probaly wet the board of my evo 3 times and it would stop working and then would work after it dries out. My halo... I have to still fix it. I just have enough time.
why is jamming less on evlution?? because the feeding rotor actually bends when it misfeeds it. - SMART EVLUTION.
What would I recommend??? Vlocity jr.... with gangsta board. Light fast, more durability on my opinion than halo and evo. Cheaper than halo with victory board.

first i put it into my stock and it spun like none other, then i got a clamping and it still spun around, its an easy fix though i put a thin layer of electric tape around the neck of the hopper and now it fits perfectly

You said it man. Talk with your paint, not your keyboard.

It says that, but that's not really true. The thing, is that the halo/reloader b/pulse/vlocity are all force-fed hoppers, meaning they constantly put pressure on the ball stack. The egg, is a semi-force feed hopper, meaning it still requires gravity to do some of the work. The force-feed will feed 20 bps the first time every time, whereas the Egg will feed fairly consistently but every now and then will skip a beat. Of course, it can't be that bad as it was considered a high-end hopper and used by pros a few years ago, but I just wanted to let you know.
