Smart Parts Vibe - Black

With the release of the Ion, Smart Parts proved that owning a high-performance electropneumatic paintball marker didn't have to be limited to those players who could afford the most expensive equipment. Now the company is redefining the performance levels available to even first-time players.

The Smart Parts Vibe provides true low-pressure, electropneumatic operation in a package that is fully CO2 compatible and is as inexpensive as an entry-level mechanical blowback semi-auto paintgun.

“I have played and won some of the biggest paintball tournaments in the world, shooting the best high-end paintguns to do it,” said Smart Parts President Bill Gardner, Jr., “but the Vibe is one of the most exciting markers I've ever seen. By packing high-end electropneumatics into a marker that even a first-time paintball player can afford, our engineering and design teams are really democratizing paintball. Now even the new player or rental user can have the firepower to keep up with the experienced players.”

Centered around Ion bolt and valve technology, the Vibe takes advantage of Smart Parts' exclusive new micro solenoid valve and circuit board, both purpose built to deliver high-performance on a new player budget.

A simple design makes maintenance easy – even for the first-timer. Vibe maintenance and cleaning requires only unscrewing the bolt sleeve from the rear of the marker to extract its bolt stop and Ion compatible bolt. Because the valve system is comprised of the bolt itself, there is no additional hammer or valve core to remove, and no sear or springs to drop or lose when accessing them – a process that can take several minutes with competing products, and can be confusingly complex to those who are less mechanically inclined.

The Vibe is also extremely durable and lightweight. Its machined aluminum internal structure is encased in a body and grip frame made from the same glass-fiber reinforced nylon materials that are used for the corresponding parts of police handguns.

While compressed air is very popular for experienced players, its cost and complexity usually keep it out of the hands of a new player, and most electropneumatic markers have had severe problems with carbon dioxide – until now. The Vibe is powered by the brand new Max-Flo R vertical regulator. In addition to fantastic low-pressure high-flow performance on CO2 or air, the Max-Flo R features an integrated relief valve system that provides complete protection against overpressure damage caused by CO2. Protected from the stresses of liquid CO2, the low operating pressure of the Vibe allows it to keep running in situations where CO2 chilling would starve its competition.

Most importantly, the Vibe is a true electropneumatic marker. Even though the competitors in its price class rely upon early 1990s valve and hammer technology which shakes the marker with every shot, the Vibe is fast, quiet and stable.

The vide is a very accurate gun even with the stock barrel. It has the ability to shoot on co2 or the compressed air. It has the abillity to shoot 11 balls a second or it has the 3 round berst and of course it has the simi auto. i normaly shoot origen balls the most. they shoot very strait out of this gun. i would recomend buying it for a novis player like me.

I use a stock Vibe with CO2. The gun obviously looks awesome, and it is very reasonably priced for the quality of the marker. It is very lightweight and compact. The gun shoots good with CO2. During one day of intense play, the gun choked up on me (due to the liquid CO2), however it was never really an issue. It only took a couple seconds before it was shooting again. HPA or N2O would obviously be the better choice to use. Overall, I am impressed with this marker. I would recommend this marker to anybody, either beginner or advanced.
