JCS vs. TechT

Go with the Vortex mod. I've heard of more people buying that than the JCS one.

techt recently changed the lightening rod.  they not use a brass bushing instead of the swiss bearings.  you can get a free exhange from them..  i personally ahve a vortex mod and it works good.  all in all they work all the sdame using a harder material to keept he rathet from wearing out at high rates of fire.  my cyclone has no wear on it from regular use fromt he vortex so i see no need for the brass bushings from the jcs kit.  anything beyond 20bps is a waste.  but both mods should make it possible to reach 20bps along with a QEV or QEPH.  As for reviews of the QEPH i heard that when it shoots all debris is blown outof the holes from the blowback gas.  but the reason why i havent invested in one yet is because of debris getting it ie dirt, twigs etc.  which can ruin the oring which i would rather not chance.  I went with a QEV before the QEPH came out and very satisfied with it.

for seriously?

Must I exchange it? Or do they send them out to people that had the old one...  cause shipping with insurance + tracking to USA is nearly as much as a new lightening rod for me.

I have all three mods for my Cyclone, the Vortex, Lightning Rod, and Q.E.P.H! My A5 only improved every time I put a TechT product on it. When I learned of the bearing failure in the Lightning Rod a few months ago, I called Todd. He advised me to try and remove the pin my self and he would send me the brass insert. I tried and failed! I snapped my Lightning Rod and damaged my Vortex. I then called Todd to see what kind of runaround I was in for. Let's just say a new updated Lightning Rod with bushing and Vortex with updated holes was in my hands within 5 days. With no charge to me! I have spoken with Todd several times since. He and his crew continue to strive every day to give us some of the best products possible for our guns. TechT also has customer support only comparable to that of Tippmann! They stand behind the stuff they make. I am not saying the JCS is junk, but I have only had good results with TechT's stuff. So I have no reason to stray from them. But let me ask this... Who made the original metal ratchet system? Who went a little further and developed a better cylinder piston rod? Who then developed a piston housing that actually improves your Cyclone? And, at this moment are working on a better paddle design for the Cyclone. Not to mention a new valve assembly for the gun itself. If you want to know what manufacturer does all this and will still have your back should they fail click HERE!

I have plenty of other electroflingers (7 Tribals + parts for another one or two, last time I looked) to waste paint with. However, with just a double trigger, an HPA tank, and my hopped up fast-twitch muscles, I do manage to outshoot my 12V Revvy w/Vortex impeller and WAS TurboRev board quite often. And when I play with this girl, I expect her to be there for me, flinging paint at every pull of the trigger. Which is why I've gone for a Cyclone, plus, less batteries I have to buy, a happier paintflinger am I. Now, looking at the pics, is the TechT ratchet made out of aluminum, or just slightly metallic looking plastic? I can see that the JCS still uses a plastic ratchet and a brass bushing, but can't quite make out what the TechT is made from. Thanks for all your input, folks!

I hate to say your wrong, But, I just installed the JCS mod in my X-7 and I can tell you for a fact it is not plastic, it's aluminum.

hmm sorry to stair things up, but i think the vortex is the worst thing i have ever seen, i have been through 3!! non fired more than 300 rounds before braking, as in, metal bending/misshaping, the pin working its way lose and dragging on the plastic not allowing the vortex to turn......thing it, same problem with all 3, fitted on my self, one by the dealer, and another by myself and the dealer.

 

got the JCS jet click......now thats a quality product and would put my life in its hands! go out and see them both next to each other and you will soon realise which has had more time and quelity built into it!!

im the only one with a problem who has posted, i know 7 people who have had issues with this just from my area, just coz people dont post about thinggs not working, doesnt mean they dont.....i just find it a bit strange iwent through 3!! of these vortex mods, then fitted jet click not a prob at all.....like i sed put them next to each other and you will soon see which is designed and made to the better standard.

i personally dont like t-tech as a company, they have good ideas, but they seem to rush to get them out, have lil probs with them, have to do some adjusting and like with the lightening rod which had a fault, all had to be relaced upon customers request.

im only going from my personal experience.

so how come they refused to refund me for my vortex? 3 of them, i had proof from friends and dealership it was not working, but still no refund, so i lost out £90! trying to give them the benifit of the doubt.

im not on about jsut you with the lightening rod, in general there was a default on them and had to be replaced, there should have been extensive testing done before it was released.

ill i am stating is my experience with the vortex mod, and compairing the vortex to the jet click, jet click wins hands down, have you seen the jet click?......all the extra lil details the brass bushings for the ratchet to turn on, the easyness of dropping the pin connecting the piston to the ratchet....non of this hammering in a pin difficulties or trimming springs, that is impossible to get back out without destroying everything....the jet click is by far superior, i have used both.....
