VF3s SUCK!!!!

[XxblasterboyxX]

okay so as you all know that vf3s are a must have for a blaster. Well i think not. Reson is because i had been saving my money forever and ever to get them. once i got enough money (some wear around 215 dollars) i bought them. it was fun the time i had with the power difference. then once my blaster had been broken for about 2 months we finally take it to the shop. and BOOM there it was i get a call and im told the the dam reeds burnt off the cage. And to make things worse the sells person ( not the guy who works in the shop) orders me stock reeds cause he didnt know they were vf3. So now i was thinking about taking my vf3s back and getting some Rad valves.

holy sh*t you paid too much for those reeds







and we want pics of the damage. that's kind of an odd failure

 

[Oregondunes]

your saying the carbon fiber VF3 reeds burnt (as in caught fire and melted) ?

 

[sheeblast]

did they burn or crack off?
VF reeds are known for cracking.
also heard that replacement petals are costly.

$215 ??????? i paid $117, someone hoodwinked you, as that shop you took it to is.............
"the reeds are burnt off the cage", yeah right !!!!!
you tell them we want pics !!!!! or they're lying !!!!!
and if that did somehow happen, it was some other cuase, not the reeds

 

[little3mil]

what? are you joking

btw i paid 114.99 new for mine and i love them to death. zero problems with them so far.

 

[Awk08]

BTW, call me for any other new parts you ever need, hahahaaaa

agrred 100%, you tell them you want your "burnt up" cage back, and skip the new stock cage, someone on here will sale you a stock cage for $15, or even trade even up for that sh*tty vf3 cage

 

[XxblasterboyxX]

[blasterdemon7]

It sounds like BS to me to.PICS!

 

[XxblasterboyxX]

i just looked it up they were 150. sorry about that. lol im gettin the pics hang on

 

[Awk08]

i just did a google search for...........
"melted reed petals" and "vf3 melted reed petals"
i went 3 pages deep on both searches, and came up with no prior reports of any such thing
i did find a few reports of fiberglass reeds doing sumthin similar, hence the switch to high temp carbon fiber
