Question Ion vs vibe the smart parts clash!

Well I got 2 options...

Ion or the vibe.

Pretty much what I'm looking for Is the marker.

Not looking into barrel sizes,hoppers,Air tanks.

What I am looking for is...
BPS(balls per second)
Durablity(Average price being 150$ for the vibe am I going to be happy with my purchease)
Cleaning and maintaing.(So easy a idiot can do it)


Some back ground info on my self..I'm novice player,I know the basics like snap shooting and holding my gun corretly and adjusting it to my body.So these are gonna be one of my first marker purchease's I plan on playing every other weekend,and I don't plan on shooting any faster than 10 balls per second.

I've been hearing ALOT of pro's for the vibe so far.and some what cons againts the Ion,So I'm unsure,my heart is set on the vibe seem's like a great gun but with my expirance I wouldn't be able to tell the difference maybe a Ion owner can convince me other wise.

For those that care
I'll probably use a gravity fed hopper or a 30$ electric hopper at most.
For the air tank, It'll probably be a 48/3000
Seems like all I'll really need untill I dive deeper into the game.

Well thanks for the help and happy fragging!

Blackheart Vibe is more or less tied with the Ion XE. After that, Vibe > throwing balls with your hand > Ion.

Standard Ion is so badly designed that it WILL break at some point trying to do routine maintenance. This issue has been fixed with the XE, but avoid the standard Ion. XE and Vibe are both BOB (Bolt Out Back) and so do not have the issues that the original Ion had.

There is nothing wrong with the Vibe its a great recball marker capped at 11bps the low force bolt does a great job keeping it from chopping even without eyes and it will even work decently on CO2. If you want something good and cheap and plan on upgrading later on down the road anyway buy the Vibe.
