When You Need Smart Parts Vibe

By Benedict Perez

From a distinguished manufacturer of paintball markers and paintball accessories, the Smart Parts has come up with a new design - the Small Parts Vibe.

Along with SP1, EOS, and the Ion Xe, the Smart Parts Vibe was released and introduced in the market. Basically, the Vibe is a high quality, low cost paintball gun that was produced and manufactured by Smart Parts. This marker is very suitable for beginners in this field of recreation as well to recon players. Being a competitive marker for a low price, it is one great investment a player can get.

Design. The Vibe is one of the lightest and most quiet electropneumatic guns in the market. It weighs only about 1lb and 11oz with a length of 8.75 inches. Even with the tank and the barrel on it, one can comfortably control the marker.

Along with the comfort, this paintball marker is not just made up of common plastics. It is made up of glass fiver reinforced nylon grip for the frame and the body making it more durable and harder compared to others. It has an aluminum receiver or bolt and is equipped with various firing modes. You can choose from a tournament lock semi auto, the 3-round burst, full-automatic firing mode or you may prefer a semi auto. It may not have an anti-chop eyes but its low force bolt nearly cancels chopping.

The Vibe has a maximum firing rate of 11 bps but can be improved with an upgraded circuit board. Its operating pressure is around 180 psi and works perfectly using CO2, nitrogen or compressed air. Moreover, this paintball gun is protected by Max Flow R Vertical Regulator which makes Smart Parts Vibe perfectly free from the hazardous effect liquid CO2.

One of the most common misconceptions is that the Vibe costs you too much gas. Well actually, the Vibe is air efficient. Those who think otherwise are those people who do know how to read and follow manual instructions. Upon purchase, the Vibe is designed and set up to use CO2 as its gas source. If you preferred using others, you need to open the grip and remove the battery. Then, you need to put the battery back while pushing down the power button. You would know that it is now set to HPA mode when the button blinked twice. These are the plain and simple steps one should follow. Never ignore manuals. It really does make a lot of difference.

Maintenance is quite easy. Since the bolt is placed at the back, cleaning and maintaining it is relatively hassle-free. Regular cleaning and lubricating are just the simple tasks that you always have to do. Also, you need to make sure that your 9v battery is charged properly and fully. In instances that you need to disassemble your gun, ensure that you have placed all the parts on its original place. This may take time but you have to guarantee yourself that no parts are left out.

You may want to upgrade some of its parts to further enhance its performance. To increase its firing rate, you may change its board. You may also change the barrels. Since the Vibe uses the standard Smart Parts threading, any Smart Part barrel will fit.

Smart Parts Vibe is a very suitable paintball marker for new players. It is reliable, durable and basic maintenance. For a small price of only $140-$150 it is one cheap gun that provides a tournament level of performance.
