Good 50rnd hoppers

[nobbie333]

I know it is not 50 balls but have you looked at the Planet Eclipse Lo-Cap PAL Loader

[Chuck E Ducky]

The PAL feeds a lot better on PAL enabled markers then it dose non PAL markers. It still has a shelf that helps with feeding. I use my JOLO on my Emek for what it’s worth. It feeds more consistent and faster. The lid on the Low cap is a bit clunky to use (maybe I just haven’t used mine enough) but the hopper works fine. Just not my favorite to use. I think pbDNA has a lid mod for them now you can put a universal speed feed on it. So that’s kind of cool. It’s still a much bigger hopper then the 50ish rounders. Higher cap category goes to the Sportshot / GOG IMO.

[JeeperCreeper]

Hmm it would be cool if I could make something to pop the PAL system up during the pump stroke, but all that seems too complicated for minimal return. I'm going with a Jolo for sure. Everyone says it works on the emek which is great because I'll slap it on a mech Ion too

[Chuck E Ducky]

Indian creek made a decent lower cap hopper as well, The “Maxi Loader” it had a channel that ran from the bottom back side of the hopper to the feedneck in a effort to keep paint from jamming up when feeding. It works well, mine came with a cool Camo neoprene cover. Bacci has one for $10 it’s a cool lol hopper that works well. It holds a lot I tho I think it’s like 100 round ish especially with the pod lid style fill lid. This feeds as well as a sport shot but it’s small mouth makes filling a lil slower. It’s got a cool old school look tho.

I have the big 300+ size one as well, I used it on my Ego at ION one year the looks I got were awesome!

You know...thinking about this topic, I'm really surprised that no one has yet designed a helix hopper. With 3D printing as good as it is, I would think that it can't be so hard to get some kind of coiled ramp inside a small-ish hopper. It would basically make a 50 round hopper into a 50-round stick feed, which I imaging would feed much faster and more reliably since it would have stack effects.

Then again, it might be a huge PITA to load. So maybe the idea is better left alone.

[JeeperCreeper]

I was literally going through the same thought process. If it was a single pathway that had no severe bends and all flowed downhill, then it could be done. Call it the toilet bowl lol

[SETHZILLA!]

Another JOLO addict here.
I've got 8 or 9 now, some multiple colors, some dual and 3 color, some with our team logo and some with speedfeeds.
Get one to match your gun color and then enjoy!

Well I just came across something on YouTube that was very interesting. MCBs own ChuckLove has a "Shoe" loader with rotor internals? Thats right up my alley. Man do I need a 3d printer.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I shot one at Reaper ball. It’s loud when you shoot it empty and they don’t hold much for it’s size. I liked it but didn’t see the benefit over just using a good shake and shoot. We have a guy in the NE that’s been prototyping it. He’s made some good improvements to the original design.

This thread makes me tingly on the inside.

[JeeperCreeper]

I love it. This quickly became the Jolo picture thread. Like it said I'll be ordering one very soon.

[The Inflicted]

The GOG multical is the best feeding mass produced gravity hopper. I find no difference between it and the APP 50 round in terms of my field of view.

The GoG hopper is also a huge improvement on the old Sportshot in terms of consistency; the GoG is way less likely to jam.

[JeeperCreeper]

The Jolo is cool, but that MOJO revy hopper looks AWESOME. I might have to try both of them.

[RAZRBAKK]

JOLO picture thread???



I honestly want 5 more. Ive considered a MOJO but I'm not ready to rip apart my revvy.

[glasscitymitch_02]

Is that the solid white or the transparent clear? I’ve never seen either so I’m not sure how transparent a 3D printed “transparent” is

[RAZRBAKK]

That is the transparent clear. It's good enough to tell when it's time to reload.

I wish I had gone with the lid with the 10 round tube speedfeed.

[glasscitymitch_02]

I’ve got the lid for the tube speed feed and really like it

[glasscitymitch_02]

JOLO picture thread.

[rawbutter]

JOLO picture thread.

I got one too. Couldn't resist the hype. Mine has the little door in the lid for reloading with 10-round tubes. I also got the translucent lid, but that was probably a waste. Can't see through it at all.

[Joe_PBDNA]

"Transparent" is the color of the material we use, but with printed parts it's rare to get actually transparent parts. Usually to print something that comes out clear we need to design it in a way such that the walls are very thin and therefore don't need multiple perimeters or infill. It'd be amazing to be able to print these parts perfectly clear.

[rawbutter]

I understand, Joe. It would be great if the lid were actually transparent, but I'm not really disappointed with the result. No regrets at all. I have the tube feed hole, so that lets me see inside to check how much paint is left. It might be a good idea to change the name on the website, though, to something like "white" or something like that just so people aren't expecting something else.

Otherwise, I couldn't be happier with the hopper. I've used it for two days now, and it's worked perfectly.

[Joe_PBDNA]

We already have white as a color option, so we'll chat about how to best describe the product so customers aren't mislead. Thanks for the feedback! Glad you're enjoying the loader

[Fallout85]

How can I get my hands on a shoe loader?

[Grendel]

Good luck no one seems to be making the kits anymore. The files I think on out in the wild. I have a Shoe Loader and love it but it is heavy. It does not bother me but for some people they are surprised how heavy it is (essentially just as heavy as a Rotor since the guts are the heaviest part and that gets used in a Shoe Loader.)

[JeeperCreeper]

I'm definitely in love with my Jolo now. I wish I had the 10 round lid though.

[RAZRBAKK]

They'll send you one. I didnt order one, regretted it, and got a replacement lid a little while later.

[Jonnydread]

It's a 25rd not a 50, but the Stryker hopper has been serving me well for the better part of a year.

For 50rd like others have said the JOLO is a fantastic hopper. Winnies are decent, but I have found they don't feed quite as reliably. I'm a fan of the classic VL-90s, but they're very tall and are nearly twice the size.
