Dye DFF-20 Lazarus Valve

[cfos00]

I am thinking of picking one up and tossing it into one of mine, then torture testing it. My guns can really show what a valve can do in terms of speed and efficiency, and that's what would want to see with these. It's all well and good that they can run lower pressure, but I'd want to see the practical applications with efficiency more than anything.

[cfos00]

Low pressure by itself isn't necessarily a good thing. I'm much more interested in efficiency.

The SF version with the removable feedneck is the nicest version !

Toestr that could be fixed with a modified ram and bolt, no? I have a spare b2k (non-pds) that I'd be willing to sacrifice to the paintball gods.

[Toestr]

The distance between the rear face of the valve body (and pin) and where the set screw is would be the biggest factor. If it's too long then the ram won't get full travel and the bolt won't fully chamber the ball when firing.

I like this idea and what they are saying. But I am going to wait to see what others think of these. I would love one in my merlin if it can speed that gun up even more then it is. But that gun is extremely finicky.

This is an interesting point. Why couldnt' it be used in any stacked tube, as long as it fits into it?

I have an lcd I've never shot..

I'm excited to see reports from the field on this one. I just wish they would've also done a 9/16 since there are so many more of those bodies in the wild.

Now to figure out how to slam on in a b2k...

Morphs just had junk orings in my experience. Once the plasticizers went, it was game over until a rebuild. Then they were good for another 5 years, if you used good stuff.

This one is basically a soft-seated poppet, without nearly a much potential for trouble as the only radially loaded oring never leaves its bore.

Not sure what the deal is with that stem seal, though.

[Tracker]

I want to believe!

My want to tinker will win out eventually

[fullofpaint]

Makes more sense that it'd be from Lurker's balanced poppet design anyways since they collabed on the DLS as well.

[Araphel]

Balanced poppets are nothing new. The dye Valve looks incredibly similar to the gen 4 intimidator balance valve and is a true poppet, whereas the morph is actually a balanced spool.

[moving_target]

is this their patent? or is this somebody elses patent?

it taking five years to come to market with covid being in the middle would be understandable, but IP theft is obviously not good
