so, pretty much halo vs vlocity, i've seen lots of both around

i've only had my halo (and not for all that long) but i've had no real issues with it (had really <swear filter> paint one day and it wouldn't' stop jamming, but everyone was having issues with the paint that day)

i've seen lots of ppl happy with the halo, lots with the vlocity, and a few who say the vlocity is a better loader for speedball, but just about any force fed loader will keep up with tournament settings (my vl force, 40 bucks at walmart does 18 bps)

so really, imo whichever is cheaper

Try a few different loaders on them while they are full of paint.
Being that a Mini is so small and light - you'll want to feel the balance of a couple different loaders.

It's up to opinion. VLocity's IMO have outperformed Halo's. They are lighter, and don't smoosh paint. Great loader.

Both are great.

vLocitys have a high back and odd mouth - work great too but yeah I wouldn't buy another
Halo's - I could deal without the eyes - ReLoader B's better - In four years mine has never mashed paint.
Pulse - sweet beans - profile of a Halo and easy to take apart and clean.
Rotor - retard proof and mega fast

Winner IMO - anything that shoots paint fast

Haha well thanks for fillin me in a bit on your opinions. I was lookin around on the internet and I think ive come to conclusion that i will get the Vlocity. Ive read a bunch of forums about them and they all say the same thing like Vlocity is lighter than Halo and other hoppers and that most of them would prefer the Vlocity.

But i was wondering cause i usually dont use really high quality paint so just wonderin if i have the hopper on but not shooting any balls with ill jam up or smoosh the paint?

It depends on how much you want to spend. I have a halo v35 rip clip it was good for awhile but always jammed at the wrong time. this weekend during the national a few guys had issue with there Halo. I bought a Rotor after the brawl and it is by far the best hopper I have ever used. 1 button , no speed setings fast and easy to clean. haven't jammed a ball yet. It's a $170 but I love it. I watched a guy use mine for a game came right off the field striaght to the pro shop and bought one. If your looking to spend $50 to $70 but if your looking to spend $100 to $120 wait and get Rotor. My 3 cents

If you were going to get a Vlocity, I would recomend the Jr.

The ball count is 20 shots less, but pods only fill to 140 anyway so why not keep a smaller profile.
Also, the Jr. has a much larger mouth than the basic Vlocity, making reloads way faster and easier.
Now you can get deals that come with a virtue chip and the total price is only $115

But no harm in waiting for the prices on rotors to come down.
