When I was looking for a loader that could replace my bulky and heavy Empire Reloader B loader I first turned towards the Vlocity. By appearance it looked slimmer then my previous system but it was much taller. After thinking it through I decided to get this because remembering that these guys previously developed the legendary Revolution loader that worked so well for everyone in the past.

During the first use, I noticed the battery life was dramatically poor due to it’s electronic programming. When filled with paintballs and the eyes have been tripped, the loader would continually put a slight pressure on the loaded paintballs to make sure when it needs to start loading it’ll quickly feed without any delay. In theory this sounds really good but it continually makes the motor run that causes the battery drain and also a constant motor hum which can be heard.

That is my really largest concern with the loader but discovering that it can be upgraded with a simple electronic chip replacement the battery life dramatically increases and it even feeds faster. I used the Virtue Vlocity chip, this solved the problem and also with it’s increase programming function made it easier to use and customize to what I needed from it.

Aside from the electronics the loader works amazingly well, dependable as it never went down on me during a tournament in any condition. Wet stormy days to dry dusty playing fields. With it’s 2 set of eyes on the electronic pcb board made sure if any set would burn out for any reason there was a second one to take it’s place.

I would definitely recommend this Loader but be warned, battery life on the stock chip is really low. Pick up an upgrade chip like the Virtue Vlocity and you’ll be using this loader for years like I have.
