47 they switched to a Spire and never had the problem again. Aside from that obvious performance benefit, the fact that the Spire is also the softest on paint, easiest to take a part, lightest and smallest and highest capacity among the leading loaders doesn’t hurt either! Sneak peak of the upcoming PF135 and PF165 Pods. PF stands for Press Flick. It’s an intuitive locking lid style pod that works similar to a normal pod. Just press and flick to open, but still stays locked on hard dives. Most exciting aspect of the pods is the fact that the 135round pod is 2 inches shorter than a normal pod and holds the same amount of paint. Normal “140” round pods actually don’t hold 140 if you count it out... it’s about 135, which is what the PF135 holds. What matters is both hold the same amount and the PF135 is 2” shorter. Or if you want to have more paint capacity or carry less pods, you can use the PF165 pod, which is now the same size as a normal pod, but holds 30 more balls. The player can take their pick... 20% smaller and hold the same paint, or the same size and hold 20% more paint. Some guys we’ve talked to are looking at mixing it up with PF165s in the pouches and PF135 in the loops. We had other products were on display as well, like the Clock chronograph, which has become the industry standard for velocity and bps measurement, plus our CrownSF and Crown2.5 speed feeds, which cover both the high and low-end of the speed feed market. Can you give us a brief history of Virtue Paintball? Virtue was founded in 2005 and quickly become the top upgrade company in paintball by offering Virtue boards which were designed to upgrade the engine of your gun. After years making guns better, designing and selling more circuit boards than any company in paintball, Virtue decided to transition from an upgrade company to designing and manufacturing complete products. Our focus has always been to not only design products which perform better and more reliably from perspective of a true paintball player, but to stick to our grass roots of offering the best service and support in the industry. A little over a year ago we launched the Spire, which has quickly grown into the largest hopper line in all of paintball with the Spire 260 and Spire 200, and now we’re excited to do the same with the VIO. .
