Paintball Jug Review

blackrain · 03-07-2010, 05:36 AM

Now this is really a no brainer review. This is a simple item,but not a must have for alot of players. Me personally,I had delayed buying one for a few yrs.

Then I saw the Paintball Jug.

I liked the shape of it and the pour spout. I had also never bought anything from our local Paintball vendor,which is very rude since he shows up at all events and gives up personal time instead of playing.

They are easy to make for the budget minded player,but by the time you buy epoxy and clean the jug your using,get all items needed,cut yourself a few times etc etc., this is much cheaper and safer. If your like me and always on the go you really don't have alot of time for a Home Made Version.

That's where a great place like the Paintball Jug company:
The Paintball Jug

and

FirstClass PB, A dealer that is local to me:
FirstClass Paintball

Teamed up to bring our area this fine product.

I couldn't believe how fast these sold. You could actually hear the Money ringing before the register was even set up

.

It also helped that these were featured at a Local big game,which only enhanced sales. That was an excellent sales move by the way.

They are made very well. The pouring spout is very user friendly. Even my Wife who is my Pit Crew did not have an issue. She thought it was a great idea having this.

These come in several colors. I chose the Clear,which in my opinion is better. It lets the pit crew know the ammo status and when it needs to be refilled. Even when it was raining, the paintballs stayed dry and water free. It doesn't take up much room in my gear bag,so that is a plus.

Holds a half case of paint at a time. Top lid seals very well without any issues. Spins on and off perfectly.

The lines on this item are very smooth and round. It's well shaped and has a big handle to grasp and pour.

My personal thoughts are:

It's a must need item if you are a team that has a pit crew and you bulk load paint. Fast on pod reloading. It's a great storage container for your paint. It's affordable and sturdy.

So if you have a $20 bill that you need to spend on paintball,I would recommend this product. Just contact the links that I have posted and you will get all the help you need from these fine folks.

I'll include more pictures and info when I get back from Japan. This review does need more added. For now Iam only going off memory.

Later,

I agree with everything that you posted on this product, but I would lean more towards a MUST have item. Trying to load your pods from paint bags is a pain! The Paintball Jug allows you to do it quicker, with less loss and still keeps your paint clean and dry.
I have stored open paint in mine for up to 6 months and it was still good to go. Keep in mind, I do put in one of those moisture packs that you get on occasions from shipments. You can also do this with rice. Just take an old can with a lid, poke holes in the lid and fill with rice. Stand can upright in your jug and fill the jug with paint.

All in all, great review!

"This is a simple item,but not a must have for alot of players"

I don't want newer players thinking they need to go out and buy one right away. It took me 22yrs to find the right one that I liked. Also if you are just the rec player that buys a bag or two about once a month,there is really no need for one. Chances are you will shoot it all before you leave the field.

I'm just reviewing it and letting everyone make a decision on their own. I thought it was a neat item that I have not seen a review on.

"My personal thoughts are:

I did however make this reccomendation for large groups that play more often than others.

It's a great product that I will recommend.

There are quite a few locals and regular customers using this jug including myself. Out of all the different PB jugs floating around the market, I've liked this one the most. Simple and gets the job done.

I use a paintball caddy. I have yet to see this in person, but looks-wise I like the caddy.
