Review:
Strengths- Lightweight, somewhat fast ( 20 bps stock ), price, doesn't jam, CAN be upgraded and I highly recommend it if your gun can top 20 bps.
Weaknesses- Slower than the VLocity, and only holds 180 balls, is very tall and stands out
Well I got this hopper for my ion just about 3 weeks ago and ive played with it a couple of times. While I had my stock board, the hopper worked fantastic for a 17 bps gun, however when I upgraded my board it doesn't go nearly as fast as my gun can go now. This is why I recommend getting a new board for your VLocity Jr. It wasn't horrible it was still great but my gun can do better then 20 bps. This hopper is tough and preforms wonderfully.
Conclusion:
I recommend getting an upgrade for this sucker. It isn't the fastest but it is fast, and preforms wonderfully.

"Slower than the VLocity, and only holds 180 balls, is very tall and stands out"
ok to start off obviously the vlocity JR (notice the JR on the end making it a different hopper then the vlocity) is slower then the regular vlocity its also cheaper...
it holds 180 balls because it is the vlocity jr if you buy this hopper you know it holds less then the vlocity hence the jr
and stop telling people to buy the vlocity because according to you the vlocity jr is "to tall" the vlocity is like almost an inch taller
it sounds to me you didnt reserch about this hopper before you bought it...
ummmm....it doesnt matter how long u have been playing....theres this stupid liitle thing called full auto. i personally hate it noobish. but you can get right up there with it. as for the tall comment....the vlocity is clearly taller. its smaller all around than a vlocity. as ionballer said "hence the jr." i know its a lame review but shouldnt be disputed just ignored
highly doubt your going over 20 bps if u believe that the ion can go 17 bps your also outta your mind .. its all lies 20 bps is its drop test not on the gun and don't believe what you read like how a electra can do 30 same thing here

20 bps is the feed rate and the drop test while not on the gun is 25+. I add the plus because some people have reported more. IDK.

Actually the Ion is only CAPPED at 17, with a new board and a QEV it can shoot about 30 bps.
Dispute: its not that tall, and thats not a weakness if it holds less paint and is slower thats why they call it the Vlocity JR. and i bet you havent cut your feedneck. also its fast enought you only need 15bps ramping is to show off.
