Open faced to help raise flow. O-ringed to minimize blowback and maximize efficiency. Best suited for guns with a larger bore, and loose fitting stock bolt.

Strengths:
It only cost $20. It gets rid of blow back. Also, it gets a higher Feet Per Second at the same pressure. It is lighter. It is more accurate and gets more range. I chop less paint.
Weaknesses:
It is a little short, but it only takes a second longer to take it out. The ball detent wears away the bolt, but not much.
Conclusion:
The bolt is a must. You get a lot for a little money. It improves the bushmaster. Gives it more range and makes it more accurate. The bolt being short it not a problem. It gets rid of blow back. I chop less paint. Buy it!
This was on a 1st gen B2K , vapor valve , fmd mod and cp .693 2-piece barrel.
Strengths:
The Bolt eliminates all the blow back problems the tested maker had.
The operating pressure was lowered too.
Weaknesses:
The Vapor Bolt is made out of some kind of plastic instead of derlin like the stock.
The Vapor bolt was flawed but Goldie has taken care of that for me.
The Vapor bolt is to short, it makes it hard to remove from breach.
The o-rings on the Vapor Bolt cause slight sticking in the breach which adds to the difficulty of removing the bolt from the breach.
Conclusion:
The Vapor Bolt does its job by eliminating the blow back but you must sacrifice some convenience with it.
The Idea is great, maybe the next version of this design will solve the length problem and control the quality better.
pretty decent price alot cheaper than my sandridge bolt($60) heard its better than the supaslicks, I didnt find any advantage over my stock bolt. I had to sand it down quite a bit but I used a lathe and got it really even so it now has a good fit after alot of work
Weaknesses:
*too short
*not even nylon not even close to delrin, more like cheap plastic.
*terrible quality control my air passage wasn't even completely cut through
*Took over 2 months to get it and never heard from Sam during that time
*no improvement over stock bolt
*breaks more balls
*not even close to the quality of my sandridge bolt
*no improvement in air effeciency
*I once used a supaslicks open face bolt and found it much better than this one much less drag than the vapor
*Not worth your money, buy a different bolt keep your stock bolt and save some money
*My bolt pin didn't fit through the whole
*difficult to field strip to run a squeegee through my cocker is easy to pull the bolt and run a squeege through the body and barrel
Conclusion:
Alright this got removed once so i updated it now that i have the bolt so dont get rid of it even though i gave it a bad review like last time. I have had an awful time w/vapor and this bolt. Thats probably why i didn't even try to get their valve. I give this so low cause the product isn't very good and the service is awful. It desaerves a 3 cause its not awfull but its pretty close, all other bolts are better.
We did not detect any blowback at all. Smooth operation. No chops(although this could be the effect due to the other VAPOR mods) Low cost effective upgrade = more bang for your buck.
Weaknesses:
The bolt will drag a little more than a stock bolt, but I don't think this has any negative effect at all. It is shorter so it takes all of 2 more seconds to remove than the longer stock bolt.
Conclusion:
We gave it a 9 only due to the fact that we have not had it very long and have as yet to fully realized the positive effects of the Vapor bolt. If you are going to upgrade bolts, this should be your first choice. If you have blowback problems, this should almost always fix it. Besides, the Vaporworks has treated us very well.

The bolt is alittle short , that doesnt matter !
Conclusion:
ALL VAPOR STUFF is good
Team Elite - The pain is only temporary , but the glory if forever !
Got rid of my blowback problem completely. I used to chop balls like crazy, but ever sinced I've used the bolt, I've only chopped balls cuz I forget to turn on my revvy.
Weaknesses:
A little stubby, but nothing you can't handle.
Conclusion:
Great product, as with any other product from vapor. If you have problems with blowback, I would highly recommend it.
This bolt works great, orings prevent blow back, I got better gas efficiency, and it seemed to be eaiser on paint for me. Nice design.
Weaknesses:
The things is that since it's a little shorter it can be just a little be harder to get it out of the gun, but still pretty easy, no big deal.
Nothing really.
Conclusion:
These are great, buy one, you won't be disappointed. VAPOR Stuff rocks.
