SMART PARTS VIBE

The smart parts vibe is an entry level electro-pneumatic paintball marker geared toward new players looking to enter the sport of paintball. The marker currently sells for 199.99 in Canada. It comes with 3 firing modes including semiautomatic, three shot burst and finally full automatic. All of these mode are capped at 11 bps (Balls per second)

I have owned my vibe for over a year now and it has performed flawlessly. My vibe has seen more then 15 cases of paint through it. I have used it from speedball to full blown scenario games. It has done nothing but work flawlessly.

Some of the features of the vibe are its low force bolt, which allows paint to bounce off it preventing chopping. Even with old dimpled paint and no electric hopper to feed paint broken paint is a rare occurrences will this marker. If you do happen to break paint with the B.O.B or bolt out the back design you can easily disassemble the marker within seconds to clean the breach out. The marker operates at 180 psi making it very smooth shooting with little to recoil with greatly enhances accuracy.

The vibes 10 inch ported barrel is more then adequate and gives decent range and accuracy. I strong recommend upgrading the barrel to further enchant accuracy; the vibe uses NXT shocker threads and almost all stores with carry replacement barrels.

The regulator of the vibe is its main feature and the main reason why it is highly sought after by many newcomers to the sport. The Max-Flo regulator prevents the marker from being over-pressurized when using CO2. If the marker were to over pressurize the regulator will lock up for a few seconds and prevent you from firing as the pressure vents out the bottom of the regulator. This also works as a safety feature; most markers will hold at least 1 shot worth of air in the regulator even after the air source has been removed. If the user forgets to fire that shot the air will vent out after several minutes, preventing accidental discharge in future use.

With a 20oz CO2 tank you can expect anywhere between 900 and 1100 shots. With a 68/4500 compress air tank I was able to achieve similar numbers. Although not as efficient as other paintball markers it is easily the most efficient marker in its price range.

Overall the vibe is a great beginner gun and I highly recommend it. Several of the features of the marker are light years ahead of other companies similarly prices markers. This is the best $200 gun in its price range.

  • the vibes a good gun i had it for about two years it worked great u just got to be carefull about cleaning it at the time i wasa newb and was not confident about taking it apart but i have a mini now and i can strip it down easy

  • does it take an autococker barrel

    

  • @nogias420 By better trigger, do you mean a double trigger? Because it comes with a really fast trigger that I wouldn't reccomend switcing out.

  • @F3LL1F3L26 no, the upgrade he had was to make it so it could only run HPA,not C02. The standard one runs both.

  • i already got one

  • Im gonna sound like an idiot but can you put a new better trigger on it
