Canadian websites:
Badlands: Great customer service, fast shipping. Doesn't carry dye soft gear though, or exalt feeds
BuyPBL: Same as badlands, except carries a little different stock, carries a bit more dye stuff
paintballgear: Carries almost everything (Lots of stuff that other places don't have, like goblin mini launchers for example), cheaper prices on some things

Bought an E-Flex this weekend. Wore it for some CQB and Airball....posting my thoughts. Hope some of these can assist with potential descriptions for this beau-t-mus product.


Coverage - GREAT. I didn't have ONE single problem with taking a stray ball to the chin/jaw/face/etc. Hits to the softer rubbery part don't "kiss" you as hard as the paint does through a vForce Morph or even an i4.

Comfort - Coming from an era where soft, pillow like foam ruled - its comfortable - but isn't really soft. I'm used to strapping a mask onto my face..hard...So it doesn't move. This one didn't move, but the foam held it further from my face than I'm used to. Also - the nose-foam is going to need some modification. My nose is long-ish and narrow on the ridge. About as far from a stereotypical AZN nose as you can get. I found the E-Flex mask foam pressed on the area just below my nose bone, causing it to close off my nostrils. In a game, and while running at night...I'm a mouth breather, so this isn't a big deal, but when just causally standing around before a game, it was noticeable.

Fit- Great for a larger face. Ears were in the ear spots, Jaw line was covered as low as needed, goggles took some getting used to as my standard mask isn't this one. I found that the i4 fit in the ridge between my forehead and my brow line. This one fits a bit more firmly against my forehead. Required me to adjust my headband to properly seal the mask. Again - great fit..defective user used to something else.

Sweat channeling - Mask breathes incredibly well. My face (sans contact areas) was fairly dry. Foam absorbed sweat pretty well, but once saturated felt like a kitchen sponge. Needed to compress the foam between rounds to drain the sweat accumulation.


All in all - very nice mask. Great alternative to a smaller tournament mask. I'm glad I made the purchase. I feel a LOT more secure taking rogue hits from directions other than "forward"

one thing on the sites that i may put up,

i need to know what the return policy is for every site, i definatly want to put that in there

[Schnelly611]

Just noticed, in the marker section you have mokal spelt morkal

[EGGSwithaB]

You should throw something in with the Aura description about the proton since they are priced the same and same internals. I mean it shouldn't have its own little section til atleast one of us gets to test it but it should still have a mention.




FANBOY FANBOY FANBOY......... I don't know why but I'm in love with that marker. I just like the way it looks, I like the internal plumbing, I like the board, I love how easy it will be to maintain, and I like the price range.

[tlmiller]

It is an awesome little marker for the price. Like I've said before, guy with a Luxe at the field borrowed the Aura and was absolutely in love with it, decided to get one for his girlfriend because of how much he enjoyed shooting it and how light it was.

[Trbo323]

update, proton added, pinokio is being sold again and an update to the z2 description

[Trbo323]

also, fliptop and slice added

[EGGSwithaB]

I'd add in the proton description that it has a new board.

[Trbo323]

anything different from the aura board?

[EGGSwithaB]

After watching a few videos it doesnt seem like they really changed much on the board. My bad bro

[goodshot123]

That's sick!

[Trbo323]

i need to update this in the next few weeks, gold star to anyone who can find what needs to be added or taken off

off the top of my head, i think it was te evo 4 that is nolonger in production
add the MR-5
as much as i hate it, the spire

cant think of anything else off the top of my head

i think i will leave the hammer 7 off of the lineup

[Max07]

I guess you'll have to add the "new " Empire Scion loader aswell. The new Dangerous Power G5 and maybe the DP M3-A1, but that may be to expensive for a newbie, so maybe not.


About the MR5 is the same as the MRX with a closer to reality M4 milling and FS compatible. It also has two versions: the MR5, and the E-MR5 (Mechanical and Electro)

I read what you wrote about the Tippmann FT-12, you can be sure now: The FT-12 is not customizable at all, you cannot even add a new barrel, it was specificaly meant for rentals. I think that the only thing you can do is change the hammer or something.

[Trbo323]

wow even the barrel?

[huckduck]

i'm pretty sure its 98 threaded. there's a cap that goes on top of it, but that's separate from the barrel

[Max07]

Ya I checked and yes the barrel is customizable but nothing else. For a second I thought it was like the SL 68-II, it has just an aluminum barrel with no thread, it just remains stable with a screw.

Tippmann FT-12 Marker Disassembly & Reassembly - YouTube

The tippmann guy says in the comments there are no mods available for the FT-12 yet. I don't think there ever will be.

[Trbo323]

ya i doubt it. honestly i dont see why tippmann did not take the BT rout on this and use a 98c. as far as i can tell the slice can still use all BT-4 internals and mods (if anyone would want to research that it would be much appreciated)

[Pro_paintball]

Yea i have no idea there is very few lower end or milsim markers that i know alot about

[Eris]

Wow thanks for posting this without it i would've bought a 50 dollar mask that wasnt thermal.. lots of waste of money.

thanks!!
