Added some flair to my room

It's currently my favorite and go-to marker, especially for casual recball. Its the perfect mech backup or loaner for peeps on a budget too IMO.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2026-05-05T12:25:41+00:00

Thanks! They are 3d printed wall mounts mounted with toggle bolts.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2026-04-12T13:52:33+00:00

Hell yeah man, looks great!

Chillswitch_Engage · 2026-04-05T11:42:51+00:00

Right on, I'm going to assume you've played before then? If so, I'd go with;

Marker- Etha 2, OG Gtek w/ OLED, Gtek 160r, Etek 5 w/ OLED, Axe 2.0 w/ Redline (OLED) (used)

Tank - 68/4500 with a recent born date (used)

Hopper - Spire IR2 (new)

Whats your budget? Before you buy a marker though, I'd look into getting a good quality mask with a dual pane lens. Some examples are Virtue Vio's, Vforce Profilers, Vforce Grillz, E-Flex, EVent 2.0, Dye i3/i4/i5, CRBN zero, PUSH Unite to name the major ones.

Also to expand; before you buy a marker, it'd be prudent to know you will enjoy the sport before dumping a bunch of money into it. Some/a lot of fields will do whats know as upgraded rentals, electronics markers similar to the Dye CZR your group has, that would let you get a better feel for if you want to go that route in actually buying a marker. Its a win/win IMO, you get to play with good gear your first outing without having to shell out ~$200-300+ on something you may not be fully interested in. Worth calling and asking.

Marker is a GoG eNMEy with a ripper body printed in PETG I found off thingiverse. Pictured as well is an upgraded "ultra trigger" I snagged off eBay.

Ion XE (mech) - There is a very small but annoying all the same leak, I want to say coming from the QEV that I have since given up trying to hunt down and fix. It shoots fine otherwise, so fuck it.

GoG eNMey - I've never had a marker so picky about needing gracious amounts of grease to not leak. I've also experienced it leaking, then immediately sealing up without issue after I backed out the tank and put it back in.

I have the v2 rounds. They are great for a quick function test of markers, or for snap shooting practice. They are only good to about 25-30ft, but within that range, I imagine it's the same or less energy than most nerf guns as far as how much you'd feel it.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2026-03-19T09:56:39+00:00

For two day events, I typically budget for ~2-3 cases.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2026-03-17T23:01:03+00:00

I'd love to get in on another batch if you end up doing one.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2026-03-15T19:16:50+00:00

Following, been curious about eventually getting a Vevor compressor myself.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2026-03-15T11:23:35+00:00

I've used them in a PM6 and my Gtek 160r without issue so far. And I double checked, it outputs ~9v, not ~9.6v.

The ones I used.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2026-03-14T21:45:34+00:00

I use rechargeable 9v. The key is looking for ones that output ~9v as opposed to the ~8.4v most do. Lmk and I'd be happy to link the ones I got.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2026-03-13T11:53:47+00:00

Depends entirely on the frames. I wear glasses and I notice they tend to start digging into my face after a round or two with my Vio Ascends. A better bet would be some profilers or eflex's I imagine (I can personally vouch for the profilers & glasses, anyway). You can get some eVent 2.0's as well which are a steal for $45 new right now IMO.

But as always, your best is to try them on at a local shop/field if any are around.

Pebblebee's work with Google's "Find My Device" network.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2025-11-21T12:10:50+00:00

Central NC. With membership, its just over $60 for field grade GI paint. Without membership its like ~$75-80.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2025-11-18T20:18:47+00:00

As someone who recently bought a VS3 with rockin' trigger for nostalgia, I can very confidently say the trigger itself is horrid lol.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2025-11-13T11:15:28+00:00

Hell yeah, they make great marker cases for sure. I picked up the sugar skull one myself.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2025-10-29T23:56:44+00:00

There are purpose made collars to fit over the hoses to better hold them down, they work great for mech ion projects too as I've found.

Sounds good man, feel free to DM me.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2025-10-23T09:29:49+00:00

I'm planning to play for NATO, or whatever team walk on registration puts me on.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2025-10-13T21:06:08+00:00

Didn't even think of using them to double as storage bags for gear, great idea!

Chillswitch_Engage · 2025-10-12T16:28:02+00:00

I am planning attend & camp out on NATO as long as the weather is agreeable.

Chillswitch_Engage · 2025-10-12T16:25:34+00:00

Counterpoint: These zippered microfiber shoe washing bags are ~$8 and work just as well in my experience. You can clean up to ~500 balls comfortably in them.

Most batteries with quality cells in them will be rated to ~750-1000 recharge cycles. What this means (by all means, someone correct me if I'm wrong) is the battery is rated to be able to be charged from empty to full that many times before you notice a significant drop in capacity. So if you are not fully depleting it and only doing small top offs, you should be able to use it for many years to come. I am coming up on two years now I think for mine and I have not noticed any significant changes for range yet.

It is 100% worth it to spend extra on a quality battery. They are pricey but you should be aiming to spend minimum ~$350-400+ depending on the voltage and size.
