The Virtue Spire is the next generation in loader technology with a shot activated sensor, jam-proof feeding system and a tool-less design that can be taken apart and reassembled in seconds. Not only is the Spire an aggressive, lightweight, and compact design, but it also holds more paint than the leading competitors.

This has been my favorite loader I've owned. I shoot alot of reballs at home and it feeds them flawlessly not 1 single jam ever. Its fed everything from junk paint to super fragile ultra evil without a single break inside. Its fast reliable and good on batteries. My only gripe is some of my feednecks on my many markers have to be tightened down all the way just to grab it because its feedneck is small.

Ok so it is a nice hopper i have to give it this but i got it cause of the whole oh it never james stuff and i must have goten a bad one cause after about 12 boxes or so it just went to crap all i have had is james. But the hopper is nice and low pro and holds a good amount of paint yes but i no longer believe that it is a jam free hopper cause thats all mine does know. so sorry to say but im going to stay with my rotor that almost never james. oh and i shoot allstart and gi paint so its not like im shooting bad paint or anything

Bought this on more of a curiosity whim a few weeks after they were released. At the time I loved my rotor, said rotor has since been sold. It really comes down to three simple points for me: lid changing system, the tray housing everything, and the spire drive. Feeds reballs like it is it's main job, brittle paint glides along without a problem. The lid system to me is a dream. Granted you could do the same type of thing with a rotor but not for the same cost.

The only complaint I can think of is from time to time if running through a full hopper without moving side to side it will always seem to have about 20 balls sitting in corners. Moving any direction fixes this, but it never happened with my rotor.

Virtue Paintball Spire The Virtue Spire is truly ground breaking technology in paintball loaders today. It can compete with any other loader out there and most likely beat it in performance.

I bought this loader and only used it for one day before trading it. The design is nearly 100%. It is a great loader in almost every way. I found myself with about 20 shots left with my gun slightly tilted and all the paint was trapped in the corner of the hopper and would not feed until I leveled out the hopper and tilted it back slightly. I did notice a slight ramp inside the Spire to help feed paint, but it could be slightly steeper. Maybe make it curved in future models. Or eve give the feed area more of a bowl shape inside to more force down those last few, sometimes critical, shots. Like I said, it is almost a perfect hopper. Just needs some fine tuning in the design.
