Pros: Cheap
Cons: Hard shell, doesn't sit well
I've used diablo heat on numerous occasions. It has two different ways of coming to you, in a sealed bag w/ factory logo and in an open bag w/ twist tie.

Shell:
The factory sealed bag's balls had a VERY thick shell and gave me tons of bounces. The open-bag ones actually had a very decent shell and a light toss toward the ground broke the ball.

Life:
-The balls from the sealed bag could sit for quite some time without any damage but the open-bag ones got nasty pretty quick. I noticed the balls starting to deform and the paint being much easier to see through a side of the ball. If you've got the open-bag version of this paint, try to use it up at the field. Don't bother taking it home and letting it sit.

Fill:
-I didn't really notice any difference in the fill quality. Both have mediocre thickness, you can wipe them if you're hit. It doesn't come out quite as easy as some other cheaper paints but it still isn't too difficult.

I'd reccomend this stuff for recball or team practices but nothing too important.

The price is awesome
When you buy the paint you are taking a gamble because most of the paint is deformed and is swelled. There have been numerous times were it will break every single time in my barrel.

Pros: Cheap, Kinda Shoots Straight?
Cons: Dimples, Broken Paint in Bag, Rarely Breaks, etc.
There is nothing good about this paint except for the cheap price. I got this for $40, which is the cheapest at my field. However, this paint is downright horrible. When i opened the case, the first thing that I saw was BROKEN PAINT in EVERY BAG. I then opened the bags and inspected the paintballs more closely. The paintballs were decently round considering the price paid. I then tried to pop the paintball by squeezing it to see how easy it would break. When i squeezed it, the paintball FLATTENED. It was like a piece of flexible plastic. The thing would not pop. Do not tell me that the paint was just old and not stored properly. I bought this paint from a great paintball field that gets fresh paint very often.

I was playing speedball, and I snapped out the side of my bunker to hit some guy trying to run up and grab the flag. He was about 10 feet away from me. I lit him up, hitting him 7 times in his tactical vest. He started to walk off the field after I hit him so much, but a ref stops him, and asks him where he was hit. He says that he was hit 7 times in the vest. However, the ref tells him that he isn't out because NOT ONE of the PAINTBALLS BROKE. This is how bad this paint is. Hit him 7 TIMES in a HARD TACTICAL VEST from 10 FEET AWAY, and there were NO BREAKS.

Do not but this paint if you actually want to get people out. Maybe if you just like to shoot for no good reason, then maybe this paint is for you.

Price paid: $35.00
Pros: Cheap.
Cons: Thick shell.
Appearance: When I first opened the Heat the paint was in good shape, no broken balls or egg shaped paint.

Performance: For the price this is really good paint. I would not suggest shooting this in a tournement though. If you pay more than 40 for this paint then you are probably getting ripped off, but for the price I must say this paint gets the job done pretty well. The shell is pretty thick which means less breaks in guns, but also less breaks on people.

Reliability: Shooting this paint was fine, no barrel breaks, chops, etc.

Value: Like stated above, there is much better paint out there, but for the price this stuff is perfect.

okay so diablo heat is usually good paint, especially in the summer time.

but i recently got a "deal" from my local paintball store that was selling it for cheaper so i bought a case not thinkin of the weather.

well its 30 degrees out and let me tell you, heat is definetly made to be played in the heat, because in the cold it chops bad even with vision eyes....

Pros: Great quality for the price
Cons: can sometimes have a bad batch
I have been reffing at a local field for a while now and the owner gives us a case of Heat everyday we ref. It shoots great, and personally I have only had one bad batch before. 99% of the time it shoots well and is fairly free of oil on the outside. And I have never opened a box to see any broken paint.

I recommend it for the price. It may not be the best bet for a tourney player, but for anyone who just likes to have some fun on the weekend, you can't go wrong.

Heat is a very popular paint with a lot of people in my area. The price is great, the quality is better than anything else you'll find for the same price, and when compared to a lot of field paint in the area, why pay $60 for one case when you can pay $60 for two cases and then another $5 for BYOP fee?

I realize the price may be different many other places, but if you're paying more than $40~$45 a case for this, you're getting overcharged.

Cons: Bore
Great paintballs for the price. I never get any broken balls in my bags and the dimpling is minimal at best. I almost never have dimpled balls and if so its a random few per bag. The only real issue is that the bore is smaller than most and therefore would require the use of a smaller bore barrel for better accuracy. I just use one large bore barrel, so small bore paint in a large bore barrel can make for inefficiency.
