Besides E-Paintballoutlet, who sell the Demonic Strangler?

And if anyone knows, does EPBO have them in-stock?

Reasons I dont like them:

They are expensive
The anno fades to a light gray within a month
The high/low rise feature is useless, you can only use one
The clamp system didnt work very well, I dove into a bunker and the threads got all screwed up, had to clean them up with a dremel (they basically cross-threaded)
You can never get your hopper to be tight and still line up straight on your gun, it takes a LOT of time to get it "just right"
It still has set screws, whats the point of a clamp AND set screws?
The inner locking piece tears the **** out of your hopper neck
The inner locking piece gets moved around and sometimes jammed sideways in the collar
The flames are ugly, IMO

I think thats all. :) Just not worth it to me to pay 50 bucks for one. I didnt pay close to 50 for mine, and I was still dissapointed.

There are literly hundreds of fokes out there using the stranglers that love them. The newest models have addressed the problems of the early stramglers.

The silver stranglers are just polished alum-- not chrome plated- so it will "dull" after a while. The blac anodized stranglers seem to hold us as well as any other anodized feed.

The stranglers seem to have the sharpest threads of the after market necks. this can be an advanage is you have a older neck that has come out.

The NW tube are a marvel of simplisity. They simply use two O-rings to get the hopper to stay in. However, the outside of the feed neck on the orginal NW feeds is too thick to allow it to screw into the Impulse without striping out. NW is just now starting to ship "Impulse only" feed necks. NW is advaible in both high rise and low rise. in Black and in chrome (real chrome- not polished alum) Of course I can't give you any "history" on the new NWs as very few fokes have them yet.
