Anyone know what the advantages are of the new 2k2 Impulse?

[FreAkShoW]

I know it has a new board but what is the advantages? Plus what else is different.

I just bought one off of Ebay for $405.

Thanks

Advanages:

Barrery saver actuly works (turns off after 20 min)
Low Battery indicator actuly works
Calibraded Dwell settings (If I go to max dwell then back off 4 clicks, I will get the same "dwell" on a different gun at max - 4)
Cool blue light
Chirps to tell you about things (low batt, max dwell, min dwell ect)
Much better On/Off switch

Disadvanges:

Less Dwell range (you can't go down to the realy low pressures by making the dwell realy long -- and eating a lot of gas)
Will not work with some after market grip frames (line the I-frame) although you can Modify it to work. NOTE NEW I-frames will be out in a few weeks that DO work with the new board.
Blue light flashes at you

Hope this helps

you can't use VFF/HFV/AFF on a new imp.

Pardon my ignorance but what is VFF/HFV/AFF?

Thanks

voodoo full flow....high flow vert, angled full flow(i think)....all optimizers that increase performance and get rid of bolt stick...the new impulses around like 10000 i think don't have the predrilled air hole...so you can't use them....they work the best...but are more expensive...

yeah, you've got the names right, sorry, i should have written them out properly. they aren't the best though, the best is an LPR (low pressure regulator)

its not a big deal that you cant use them, its just that if you want a solenoid optimiser you have to either choose a tapeworm/eclipse aggressor (bottom of the range) or go straight to the top of the range with an LPR

i think u cant use them on guns with serial nmbers 12,000 and up luckily i have one in the 10,000

what is the SN rangefor the new 2k2 impys and does anyone know if paintballgear has the new impys? and one more thing, if it is not pre-drilled can you get the air transfer hole drilled at like smartparts.com?

[kop_jedi_master]

That blue light is the **** , I sit at home and try and get mine to where it's a solid blue light like my ps2....

[Awhislyle]

i think it is from about 12000 upwards, as mine (see sig) doesn't have the blue light, it has a green/orange one

[impyguy69]

Mine is 13000 (aint that weird right on 13k) and it doesn't have a blue light only green and yellow-orange

[Awhislyle]

Impy guy I bet you could sell that on ebay for alot because its exactly on 13000 id pay extra for one on the thousand

The new boards have nothing to do with being able to use the VFF. Imps #12500+ cant have the VFF because SP stoped drilling the air holes for them. Impulses #12500 to #13000 cant have the VFF and they dont have the new 2k2 boards, but my Imp(#13137) does have the 2k2 board.

If you think about it, the 500 Imps (#'s12500-13000) with the old boards are sort of rare.

[StealthElephant]

Imps that are 11,000+ don't have the air hole drilled...at least that's what the Imp FAQ says. I trust in WOlvy

[Showdown]

you can get the hole drilled, cant you?
