you get the feeling of a flimsy pod. the plastic is all thin and feels like its going to break in your hand. the lids are so lame. i was opening one once and the whole lid assembly came off in my hand. possibly the worst DYE product ever made.
Conclusion:
don't get these pods. you are just paying for the name. just buy some fatboys.

Strengths:
looks good
holds paint
havent broken
cheap
Weaknesses:
some people say they brake..my havnt
Review:
they look very good..they hold paint...
one time they popped open when I was getting one out in a game..I tried to get it before it all spilled and I stuck my tank in the mud..thats not the pods fault though..
they are nice pods..they come in some nice colors too..I got green even though everything else I have is black/chrome/gray..
Conclusion:
I recomend them..they are nice IMO..I know alot of people say they arent good..
They were ok, i got them free with my dye pack. They are not as solid as some other pods so you can like squeeze them and they are a little soft. One of my lids broke really quick and then the other lids are too easy to open and i lost 300 paintballs the first time i played with the pods. I would say if you can get a good deal on these dont get them because i mean its only like 50 more cents to get a better pod that wont slop up on you, anyway that is my opinion, and if you get them for free go for it.
Conclusion:
They are ok, could be a lot better at 50 cents less than the better pods, get the higher quality pods. 5 becuase they are just average.
Evil omen
88/4500 nitro tank
12 volt revi
dye xcel 3+2 pack
Strengths:
Very sturdy, you can take the whole lid/collar off
Weaknesses:
lid can sometimes pop open if rubbed up agianst your pack
Review:
Its a good pod if you ask me but if i had a choice i would go with indian springs pods because the lid wont come open like in the dye pods. the dye pod is good overall though. It is light so u dont feel as if your carrying a brick on you back and you can take the whole lid/lid collar off in case you need to clean it and the lid has a spring on it so you dont have to push it over yourself.
Conclusion:
A good pod but go with indian springs if you have the choice.

Strengths:
Durable
Weaknesses:
Caps come off
Review:
These would be good pods except for one small detail: the caps on mine seem to come off very easy. This was easily fixed with a bit of electrical tape around the inside perimeter, but the caps should fit well right when you get them, not after some modification. It tells me I need more words, let's see if this does the trick..
Conclusion:
Good pods, just need to do a little work to make them usable.
i was goint to get the planet tubes but the were alot cheaper and looked cooler.
These things just wont break. the lids come open easy. well there pods that do their job. get this if you dont want to replace pods ever AGAIN. i would get more of these becaue their a great value. DYE realyy designed these very well
Conclusion:
great pods. can thow them 20 yards to a person if they need amo during a game. they just wont break. lids wont pop open unless u need them to

Strengths:
theyre pods, they work as their supposed to. Pretty decent plastic used.
Weaknesses:
Be careful on the pull, cap might open & drop paint.
Review:
Dye pods are good, I use clear plastic ones, work great so far. USing 6 of them right now, would definitly recommend them to others. They hold 150 rounds & fit in most packs. Definitly buy these if you need pods, and the cheapest ive seen with quality still built in.
Conclusion:
Definitly pick these up, you can find them for like 2.75 on some sites.

Review:
these pods are really simple and really awesome. they come in a variety of colors and for only about 3 bucks each. ive had mine for about 2 years and only one has broke and that was just a little crack
the bad.....the lid can pop open and drop ur paint.
Conclusion:
these pods are great......they are really simple to use, come in a variety of colors and last for a very long time
-Replaceable lid
-Holds a lot of paint
-Doesn't spill
-Lid securely snaps shut
Weaknesses:
-None
Review:
I bought 3 of these pods to put in my 6+1 pack. They fit great and they never come out or spill. I love the snap on lid since it's very secure. The wide mouth allows you to dump a lot of paint in very quickly. There's nothing wrong with these tubes so if you need some pods go get some of these.
Conclusion:
I recommend these to everybody, there's nothing wrong with them.
