Virtue Spire IV vs Dye Rotor R2 | Paintball Hopper Comparison | Lone Wolf Paintball Michigan

[@daltoncady4038]

I like both. I shoot an R2 currently and apart from a battery issue I haven’t had a jam once

[@oldsoul8265]

Every time someone says “rain lid”, I feel another year older 👨‍🦳

[@Struggle.Snuggles]

Honestly you cannot go wrong with either one. Both do the same thing for all types of game play. It just comes down to personal opinion. I like Dye Rotors, never have had any issues unlike what I hear.

[@tonysemmo7994]

I love the options Tony

[@macaylaoliver8130]

I'll still keep my R2. Dye has taken three models to get where it is when Spire took five to get there. I shoot on an angle with my gun so the R2 is waaaaay better for that. The spire misses balls when on a lean. Plus the R2 is 2 ounces heavier because it can hold more paint.

[@9mmisahighcaliberround546]

Mine spire 4 feeds perfect anyway I tilt. The rotor is just so much more bulky though that if you’re not leaning behind a bunker it’s a target

[@Drew__Films]

I still use a R1 on my Ego 11 like I did 10 years ago and play just as good

[@swamp033127]

the led power button on the r2 will also flash when low on paint.

[@jd5393]

I think the rotor is more versatile. You can play electric no problem with it, but will also keep up with crazy mech fire. Plus the adjustable capacity is awesome.

[@kermitttt]

Realy supporting bluetooth makes THAT DIFERENCE even with proper gun? Or there is just situation, where you can not add nothing more to loader formula, so hey, lets give it bluetooth, kids loves bluetoot! Next will be mp3 players, oled monitors and sim card slots addet to Spire 6. So its automaticly order new paint if you are run out.

[@Qumkuat]

It actually makes sense they added Bluetooth. Remember when hoppers were sound activated? Obviously the eyes in hoppers are perfectly functional, but Bluetooth allows the hopper to feed down to the trigger pull. It probably doesn’t make much of a difference but it also costs nothing to add Bluetooth to devices these days. Whether they mark up the price is on them

[@manhalo1000]

Thinking about getting into paintball what gun would you recommend for a newbie definitely want mag fed for sure tho

[@kyledonovan6301]

emek 100 mag fed, i got an emek 100 hopper fed for my first gun(same exact gun as the mag fed), works great, never breaks, barley any ball breaks, easy cleaning, fully mechanical, for $230 bucks it won’t break the bank and it’s a steal. I would get an empire halo too for a hopper $80, steel tank $40, and if you wanted a barrel upgrade get a cp one piece 14” for $30. So for $400 your at the field ready to play with an awesome gun that shoots great, look up any review on the gun and there’s nothing bad about them. Hope this helps!

[@MH-fb6dd]

Tippman stormer or tippman tmc are very good guns for the price and save much more air than an emek

[@noobart443]

I absolutely love my mg100 from planet eclipse! A rifled barrel upgrade makes the first strike shoot so straight! I just got a go pro so if you want to see it shoot just look at my profile. I love the gun and planet eclipse is super reliable and not super expensive. I got mine for $410 new.

Does ur R2 blink red when it's out of paintballs?

[@f-bomb5694]

No. It beeps.

[@Rosinfiend]

@@f-bomb5694 how do you know when the battery is dying?

[@macaylaoliver8130]

Actually. It does blink at you. Most people just don't notice. An the button will blink frantically when the battery is dying.

[@feline_phoenix]

It blinks and beeps. If you don't like either then there are switches where the batteries are located to turn them off and the only way to know you're put of paint by that point is the constant feeding of the hopper trying to load paint.

[@ussajaxshellback]

when its out of paint you wont need a blinker or a horn, you will hear it running.

[@llxCELLxll]

I’ve been waiting on this video. question tho. Why does nobody professional really use the rotor? Everyone uses spires.

[@poopy8176]

exactly

[@mx07racer889]

Much lighter and doesn't jam.

[@MH-fb6dd]

🤣🤣🤣 have you seen last years World Cup hella professionals teams sponsored by dye use a r2 this question is absolutely ridiculous... go watch some speedball before you make a comment like this... “everyone uses spires” that just makes no sense

[@llxCELLxll]

Ching Ching actually I have been watching the last 2 years of games since the virus broke out and no I haven’t seen but maybe 2 teams with a few players. And it’s one thing to use it because your sponsored vs use it on your own.

[@llxCELLxll]

Revo,Ironman, legion and boom

[@MH-fb6dd]

I’d say r2 wins just because how many balls it can hold and the price

[@iplaypaintballforbeans970]

Tony, ya like jazz

[@vincentwizard5082]

Hate to say but i think dye rotor2 got this one

[@suleymansuleyman1941]

How does the dye r2 know when the paint is getting low. Can’t see any electronics inside to activate the alarm

[@zedthemexicanmadman9542]

Its triggered by the spring ramp

[@feline_phoenix]

Theres three layers. He took the top off but he didn't take the tray out. Underneath the tray is the battery mechanics which is completely removable and you can safely clean it out with water if paint happens to get inside, which could happen because of the shark tooth trigger.

[@Scofflaw_k10]

Does the R2 feed as fast as the original Rotor?

[@Scofflaw_k10]

And how are people getting 20bps from a Spire? I’d like to know.

[@MH-fb6dd]

Yes I own both

[@kyledonovan6301]

just as fast, if not faster, and for the most part your not gonna really ever need over 20bps, as most fields have bps regulations at around 10bps

[@Scofflaw_k10]

@@kyledonovan6301 Yeah, everyone says that. A small faction of us still build and enjoy seeing how far we can push markers. I have a RT mag, Viking, Alias Timmy, and a Racegun ‘cocker that all will outshoot 20bps. You don’t need a 800hp street car, but it’s still fun.

Anti unjam so it jams your hopper who wants that

virtue wins again tko!!! lol no offense but the r2 jams alot i had one before my spire 3 and wish i would of saved myself 190 dollars sorry tony man im a spire kinda guy.

[@MH-fb6dd]

the rotor literally has a dejamming hook... mines never jammed and I’ve played over 25games with mine so far.. the only thing I dislike is taking it apart

[@denverpurgepaintball7147]

why would a hopper that never jams need a dejamming hook though? the spire ir is 100 bucks and never jams i have heard the ltr hopper is the best one of the rotors but ehhh its all good

[@Struggle.Snuggles]

What bad reviews? The only thing people ever complain about is the mysterious random jamming, the odd breaking paint(which is more of a bad paint issue then a loader), and the phantom battery not always working? The R1, R2, and LTR are beast and never let you hanging. Could they use a new updated version R3? Sure, its about time but the R2 still kicks ass

[@bryanwong1625]

That jam that never happens

[@uncletouchy8687]

@Cole Johnson I’ve been using the same r1 since 2013 if I remember correctly. I have only had it jam once and it was because there was an egg shaped ball due to cheap ass paint.
