Empire Tadao vs Virtue

L3G0 · 04-12-2012, 05:57 PM

Both boards seem to have the same options. And Im just wondering if there is anything that would sway you guys one way or the other.

I have a virtue redefined board as well as their laser eye board and I love them. Awesome customer service, and their products are high quality.

I have a Spyder Virtue in my Imagine. It was definitely a nice board. The Imagine wasn't....

Oh, and yes... I put a Virtue in a Spyder... You can stop laughing any time. ;-)

i have this same setup and i also have the virtue oled board and their customer service is top notch! my oled screen stopped working and they shipped me a new one....days later, my battery harness wires tore off and again they sent me a new battery harness.....love it! though i recently got an ape rampage board for the mini and i'm pretty impressed...it's a little cheaper and switching modes on the fly is pretty neat.

I have only heard good things about virtue, but all I can say is I have had a Tadao board in my mini for the last 4 years and its still going strong. its been through hell and back literally I've played without a battery door for the last year and a half, using cardboard cut-outs and tape (whatever its worked). but anyway its been dirty, bashed, dropped you name it I've done it and its still working perfect.

I'm not too sure where you are sourcing a tadao board from since i thought they were discontinued long ago but I know they were cheaper than the virtue so based on that alone I'd grab a tadao. That said if i was to buy either one used for close the same same coin, i might go with the virtue.

I also have virtue eyes in my halo and mini and virtue grips, I do love the customer service and products Teahouser, just trying to give the tadao a chance and see if the virtue is really worth the extra cash right now.

here is 2 sources for a new tadao board
1) http://www.rockstartactical.com/prod...d-brd-mini.htm
2) http://www.sakworldpaintball.com/emtamiupbo.html

But I was actually looking at getting a used one for $40usd, from someone here on PBN.

My other option was a virtue redefined board here for $80 New http://www.paintballdelivery.com/gun...defined-board/ But I've never ordered from them. So I was considering getting again, as used board for basically the same price from someone here, but I'm thinking about talking them down.

So what would you guys do?

btw the redline foregrip is all metal, with milling, looks sick, but over kill for a mini at the price.

I'll just shut up now....

If I bought a new board i would buy the virtue just to match the virtue eyes, if they don't work better together, they wont be worse...

You really can't go wrong either way man...a virtue board matched with virtue eyes though. that's most likely the best combo.

the virtue redefined blinking lights blind me after a while....but i can't stop looking at the awesome colors! lol

yeah if i'm adjusting it indoors i don't look at the led head on or it gives me a headache it's so bright. outside it's perfect, even on a bright sunny day i can always see what color it is.

All opinion. Some like virtue some like tadao. I've seen more people like tadao but I lean toward virtue

L3G0 · 04-16-2012, 04:50 PM

Well I went with a virtue redefined board, I have worries about warranty with the tadao since they discontinued them. and its kinda hard to beat lifetime warranty with virtue.

and all my stuff matches now, virtue grips, eyes and board, and in my hopper is virtue eyes, and in the future virtue board.

Then maybe just maybe I'll cave for the RF kit.

jleclipse81 · 04-16-2012, 05:09 PM

i used my virtue redefined yesterday with my empire z2....wow! i dunno why, but i always leaned towards rotors and lately i've been having jam issues...i bought a z2 and so far so good...very impressed. With my other mini, my virtue oled says i'm shooting faster with the z2 than the rotor (33bps on z2....28bps on rotor). i just wish the z2 had different colors like the rotor....i may just have it sent and hydro-dipped. my bro in law uses the rf kit on his mini and v2 prophecy....he was shooting around 23bps....and i was at the receiving end of it on my arms and head lol
