Need hopper help
Im getting back into paintball and need a good hopper under $100 dollars, I spent most of my budget on a gun and tank so i need something cheapish. If anyone can send me a link or tell me what type of hopper to get it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

you can find a used prophecy for under $100 or you can also buy a brand new halo too for around the same price.

$100 get either an Invert Too or an Empire Scion. If you feel comfortable buying used then do that, you can get anything for $100 used. Use the BST on this website, happy finding.

Well, if you are looking to get something used for cheap, I would say get a pinokio. Though it's a little bulky, it is amazing. I currently have one and it hasn't jammed yet. If your looking for somthing a little smaller, look for a used rotor or z2. You should be able to pick one up for $75-85

used rotor is your best bet. dont waste the money on a new scion, if going that route buy a nice used reloader/halo b for less than half the price. the scion is the same damn thing anyway

^yes what he said. you can easily get a good used rotor for under $100. Buying used is the way to go for paintball gear

don't buy something because other people say it is good. i made that mistake with my rotor i bought.. that thing was a ****ing paint blender.. yes it was a v3 for all the people who are going to flame. i personally own these hoppers.. the before mentioned rotor, 3 prophecies 1 ltd and 2 v1, a pinokio, many halo/reloader b, a couple revys and a vmax. about the only one i don't own or haven't is a spire. i will say each person is different and needs to make a decision on his own, but for the money you can't go wrong with a used prophecy, rotor or pinokio they are all good loader if you get one that works right

These are the best options for your money (In my book, and if you think about it, it's pretty logical.)
1. Invert Too with the Magna Clutch drive and Empire freeway mod. The two upgrades will total you $15 and really change the loader into an amazingly effective, consistent, quiet and durable loader. Furthermore, it's still a platform with tons of upgrades, so if you love to tinker and have fun pushing things to their fullest potential, this is a fantastic loader to base your build off of. I would definitely do that, honesty.
2. P-Boarded Pinokio. Super light, battery efficient and low profile. Also high capacity and feeds great and consistently, but looks pretty fugly. You honestly shouldn't give a **** about that. These things are pretty bomb as well since the design/shape of the loader makes it super durable as well. The internals are very reliable and can feed paint and reballs incredibly consistently and well.
3. Used DYE Rotor. No, really. You can get damn good quality used rotors for around $90. I've had a rotor since they came out. It's been my only main rotor. I've never broken anything on it and it's flown off my gun in accidents before. Its performance is a bit dependent on the batteries and paint you feed it, though. Deformed, ****ty paint or moist/swollen/super small paint will likely cause a jam or break, but not incredibly often. SUPER EASY TO MAINTAIN and you can even field strip the whole loader in under 10 seconds.
Not that you should be field stripping, but you can then imagine how easy it is to clean. Especially when the motor in the rotor is one single unit on its own, attached to all other electrical components. That way you just pull it out and dunk the rest of the hopper in warm/hot water to clear everything out.
Not trying to sell the rotor at all.
I don't suggest prophecies and halos as they're either fragile, cumbersome or a lot of work and are definitely not something you'd want to field strip or even take apart in the staging area for whatever reason.
