Invert Mini

[tate0301]

Ok I'm going to be picking up an Invert Mini at some point over the summer. I have a few questions for Mini owners and anyone who has any experience with the Mini.

> What have your experiences been with the Mini?

> Has anyone had any serious problems with their Mini?

> Reliability, Air consumption, etc

> Best place to buy (I found it for $299.99) Empire Invert Mini black - Paintball guns/Markers all - Action Center Paintball

Tell me all about it

get the olive or the sunset. they are the newer models for the same price. check ebay for 299.00 or make best offer. i got my olive one for 280.00. no poppet issues on newer models. overall great marker. great on air. you will have to reset the poppet several times and break it in by shooting a few cases through it because it leaks a lil air out the barrel brand new. no big deal. i blew the selenoid on mine awhile back and kee sent me a new selenoid free of charge, so good customer service. its everything it is advertised to be. small, light, fast and efficient. just a new take on a mag.

dp fusion or pmr over a mini i dont like the eye system in the mini, chop or break a ball in the breach and the paint leaks down onto the top board and can rust out the eye leads in the mini.

i have mine now a day so far i took it apart and back together. run Air thru it only. Need to say its light and fast. Dont know about the rest yet i got it of eBay for 295 in Dust Olive and my luck the Guy was from around here so i met him up and we exchanged money for Marker....lol

I let you know more when i shoot it with Paint.....

I really like the sunset orange. The only problem is I don't think I could take it on the tourneyball field because of the color. I think I'm going to get the olive one. As far as leakage I imagine I could seal it. I clean my markers every time I use them anyway so it shouldn't be a problem. What kind of air consumption do you guys get, is it efficient?

Skip the rail especially for scenario play. To much Air. Youll be luck to get 6 pods on a 68/45.

A properly tuned Fusion will shot 7 pods and a hopper on a 45/45.

My buddy shot 4 pods and a hopper ok 2k psi 45/45 on my backup Fusion this weekend.

My 70/45 peanut can squeze out like 14-15 pods.

Please remember that each Special Edition color is limited. There is a new SE color coming out VERY soon and I'll get you more details, asap.

Check out the youtube and myspace vids on Mini repairs, cleaning, maintenance and demo's.
It's one of the easiest guns in its' class to work on, if needed.

no need to put sealants on it. just reset the poppet a few times and keep shootin it. it fixes itself when it becomes good and broke in. if you get one of these, make sure you keep your detent screws tight. i had the right one rattle out and lost the whole detent. even though my marker is under warranty, they would only sell me one for 5 bux. so i am now gonna retract the comment i made about thier great customer service. they actually sub it out to a company called paintball solutions, who were rude when i shared my opinion about how they should replace the detent screw for me. so, when you take your marker out to play, make sure they are good and tight. and its always wise to research some reviews of a companies customer service and servicing policies before spending your money.

Allright thanks for the advise. I think the Mini actually comes with a spare detent now.

it comes with 2 spare detents. but not the detent screws that hold them in place and those screws will rattle out it if you play rough.
