theres no flaws. a stock cyclone feed will work. its just when you upgrade your gun to shoot 16,17+ balls then the balls wont feed. you could upgrade it to it will feed that many. clycone flaws? NONE

i wouldn't say flaws, it works fine just needs a few things tweaked.
Canadians do it on top.

the cyclone feed is a great product rock solid even. but i have worn out my ratchet with just a RT, but now my a-5 is e-gripped and vortex mod so its perfecet eccept that the cyclone ram itself should be made more durable like out of metal not plastic.  

Don't count on your mods count on your ability to play

The profile of it I don't like. But there's no getting around that.

The A5 w/Tippman E-Grip is advertised to shoot 17bps. The rathet does not seem to take it very well. That is a flaw w/the cyclone feeder!

its just a little slow... if you are fine with 15 bps then its fine faster you will need a QEV and if you want faster switch out for the qloader

Cleaning it out sucks if you do have a "blender" inside the housing.

Sure would make a great Margarita mixer tho, Just pour in some ice, Tequila and mix and you have a great 200 mph Margarita Blaster.

On the A5, biggest "problem" is the air source. Unlike the 98Custom it is not from the CVX channel. Rather from blowback gas. A much more thinned out and weaker air source.

That's why, on average, a 98 w/ Cyclone and RT can fire and feed faster than an equal setup A5. That's why I junked my A5 and went back to a 98Custom. Cyclone was better on the 98.

Besides that, the Cyclone EP pretty much fixed the other kinks.
