Hey guys, im looking for a new gun and came down to the Smart Parts Vibe and the Ion. I like the look of the Vibe, but if the Ion is worth the extra $20 ill get if it that much better gun. I read as many reviews on both as i could, and both have great ratings, but i figured why not ask the people over here, i want you honest opinion, i will prob. only upgrade the barrel at the moment, but want to shoot it stock for a little. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Well I would go for the Vibe if ur looking at running Co2 for awhile. If u do get the Vibe I dont know if u can really upgrade the gun if u use Co2 since both the gun uses totally different internals to what I know. But in any case I would go for the vibe since it can run on both CO2(im cheap) or HPA.

i would go ion you get 17 bps instead of 10 you get multi modes of fire instead of semi you also can get any part in world for the ion that makes it supper fast and air efficient with that being said here is azn is right to get the most out of the ion you will need a hpa tank. but if you use a remote you have a better chance of keeping liquid out of the gun. if you buy an ion instead of buying a barrel right off you will need a locking feed neck to keep your hopper on and i dont know if vibe offers a different feed neck because the factory ones are junk

you will need HPA/Nitro/N2/Air or whatever you call it to use the ion to its full potential...

[madmax22]

all i have access to is CO2. If i can get a fill station i could use air though.

[madmax22]

k i decided on the Ion just need to sell my quad and i can order it.

[t3hpwn4g3h4zx0r]

c02+ion=terrible performance...

[madmax22]

than should i get the Vibe?I like the Ion because at the moment i will use CO2 but once i get a high pressure air compressor anda fill station ill convert to air.

you know that co2 can adn will blow out an ions solenoid, right?

[madmax22]

what if i get an anti siphon tube? will that do any thing? So the Vibe is looking good right now if the tube wont help the ion

[martix_agent]

it'll help but it's not perfect

you realyl need to get several palmers stabalizers to be sure it'll not break your solenoid. they'll run you more than a compressed air tank would.

ok thanks for the help matrix, i found bunch of kids to play wiht around here, and a couple paint ball places pretty close by, so i want a half way decent gun to use. I guess ill get the vibe with a barrel and a nice hopper.
