OK i need any input form anyone that has/is used/using or knows people who use them.
I need to know if anyone has had breakage problems with the egg II`s shell or door (not paint inside the hopper),and if the tsa`s are any good.
Thanks ,

I have never had any probs with my egg 11 but rainman has broken 2 lids that i have seen but that about the only probs that we have had with them

Halo TSA's are good agitated loaders. They work well. Personally Id go with an Egg 2 and remove the lid springs and sand down the tabs which increases plastic life before it cracks if ever.

The TSA is like a Revvy, don't compare it to the Eggolution.

Yep taking down the lid tabs a little does help with the breaking of the lids issue. The only two TSA hoppers I've seen both seemed a bit unreliable. Out of the two I'd recommend the egg2, feed heaps faster than the tsa too.

infact u r so so very wrong.
we took one of our backman LCD TSA hoppers out which we sold to rob and we had it on hellspawns marker , a bushy with the new vapour works chip (makes it shoot as fast as u can pull the trigger.....unlimited BPS) and we adjusted the feed rate and sensativity so when ever it hear the slightest sound it spins. This thing is quite fast it was also an option i might be considering instead of my egg.
the TSA has a heap load of options that will help it feed better.
the TSA is nothing what so ever like the Revo's and the TSA's profile is very small compared to any hopper on the market.

Don't talk shit if you don't have facts to back your statements. All this rarara doesn't prove anything. Its a gravity feeder while the eggo is not true forcefed but kinda like that, not like the halo is.
Now try to prove me wrong.

huh..........
so your saying the the revolution hopper is sound acctivated............
the TSA Hopper is sound activated and feeds at 16BPS........
when you tilt the hopper left the paddle will spin right when u tilt is right the paddle will spin left.
the hopper has adjustable paddle rate, how fast u want it to go and how tough u want it to be on the balls.
u can also adjust how quick it responds to the sound of your marker.
now tell me how that is any thing like the Revo.

I never said anything about sound activation, did I ?
Read -> understand -> post.
You and your 100% force fed Q loader. You idn't even hold one in your hands, how can you know ? Do you believe everything that is coming from the net ? Like freeflow saying their Cockervalve increases your efficiency, even if it is manufactured exactly as the stock Cocker valve, you would believe it wouldn't you ?
Please explain to me, how a garvity fed hopper, like the Halo TSA, can feed 16 bps when gravity feeding stops at the rate of 13 bps, due to gravity.
How can you get 16bps out of it ?
Facts mini, facts.

' Ben said ' The TSA is like a Revvy
u were trying to say the revo was like the TSA.......i was telling u how wrong u were about that.....how can u compare them ones sound activated the other uses an eye. the TSA is completey different
u can get 16BPS becuase u dont only have gravity u have the weight of the balls on top pushing them down the feed neck so aslong as u dont run them down to like 30 BPS u will get a good feed rate......we used them on the week they feed faster then 13 bps.
u got to take that into consideration aswell.
i dont need to hold a Q Loader in my hand all u have to too is go to the site and read.........its spring loaded meaning it pushes the ball from the bottem of the 100 ball pod all the way down the feed neck using the spring / tension system........

Being like the Revvy means to me : it's function is very similar to the revvy. Its a gravity feeder , so is the TSA. The Egg is not, the TSA is. That's the point where we came from.
On the other points : I will not argue with you about these anymore, you don't seem to be very insightful in a conversation.

the egg is also gravity feed and force feed.
when u say tha revo is like the TSA u might want to say that they function similar in the start.
every thing i have said is fact.
- peace /\/\ i n i h u x
it feels as if this conversation is just going in circles.....you only seem to give half of the information.

on topic..............
the TSA is a great hopper that has a good feed rate and is built solid and will not break easy.
the egg 2 will always feed faster but they are built poor with weak feed necks that snap and lids that break. on eof our over seas customers told us he broke 3 feed necks in 1 tourny on his egg 2.

lucky you can get spares then for the weak points...i have spare lids and neaks....just in case

i never had one thing break in my old revo.........but now they bring in new fast hoppers that cost more and they break too easy.

They're just a couple of dollars. a new battery door should be around 10 or 15 bux, a new lid should be a bit more I guess.

[QUOTE=minihux]every thing i have said is fact.QUOTE]
1. A bushy cant shoot unlimited bps no matter what chip it has. The chip is just doing million and millions of scans for a shot every second, the marker isn't capable of any more than 20 though.
2. Even with the weight of a regular feed stack a gravity fed loader will not load 16bps. 13-14 is max.
3. The Halo TSA does not have one of the smallest profiles for a hopper on the market. It is HUGE. A Egg or Revvy or even a Halo B has a smaller profile.

warpig.com has an interesting loader test.click here (http://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/loaders/lineup/index.shtml)

I can see what ben is talking about with the tsa being similar to the revie,teh paddle sticks up in the paint and agitates it toword the hole in the bottom where as the egg and halo use a wheel to push the balls into a tube that goes into the neck
