The vibe and SP-1 have the same internal work, the difference is the body. The SP-1 has a tactical look and a single trigger. The Vibe has a sleek look with a double trigger.
the smart parts ion is by far a better gun. the vibe is a waste of money. the ion is a little more expensive but you won't go wrong with it.
yes this is a very good barrel for the vibe.
If the upgrade is the black heart board, get the vibe. If the upgrade is anything else get the blitz.
The Ion is considered higher end with a different bolt style, body, board, feedneck, and barrel. The Ion is also much better on air and faster. Though the aftermarket upgrades are very similar.
No. The low pressure bolt minimises the chance of a ball being chopped.
yes, everything produced by smart parts after the shocker sft uses the same threads
The great thing about the vibe is the lack of maintenace and labor it requires. The bolt out of the back system allows you to pull out the bolt quickly. Just clean it off, and relube. This should keep the Vibe up and running.
The Smart Parts Vibe does not have "eyes" or any form of Break Beam Eye System. Eyes are similar to a deer in headlights, if the lasers do not see a paintball, it will not register in the solenoid. The Smart Parts Vibe was designed to be a low cost marker therefore eyes were not seen as a necessity. In all honesty, the marker was only designed to fire around 10 bps (balls per second) therefore one should not experience to much ball breakage. If you wanted to have eyes in the Vibe, there is an upgrade available as of 2009. The Black Heart Board/Breach upgrade, comes with an entire new breach, with slots for laser eyes (which come provided with the board). It retails for around $100.00.
It truly depends on how high of a pressure. The vibe was built to shoot between 250-300 psi. Any lower you will have drop offs and any higher you could blow the noid. the vibe runs on 250-300 because it is regulated down, input pressures can be anywhere from 300 to about 1200psi. while the vibe is designed to work with co2 it does not to it very well. any marker that works off of CO2 will work better off of HPA
Smart Parts claims it does, but you have to change settings, and even then you risk CO2 bleeding into the gun and damaging it.
This bolt is an aftermarket accessory for most smart parts gun. This bolt lowers the operating pressure of the gun as well as helps the accuracy. The bolt fits any ion, vibe, SP-1, EOS, and Ion XE
Of these two- MG-7 because of more firing modes and price. but for around 150 you can get a smart parts vibe, which is much better than either by a large margin.
