A new device similar to the legendary, rare, coveted, and discontinued Vibra-Prime is about to become available.
Its in a group buy thread on the castboolits forum.

I have no affiliation with this product. I've just been wanting a vibraprime for awhile.
After seeing them go for nearly $200, used, on ebay, I was really excited to see this.

it looks like the vibrator is really not needed. you could just shake it around and accomplish the same thing. but it could just be not showing up too well on the vid.

Well, I havent used this device, so I'm not gonna sing its praises. However, I have tried the vibraprime, and while it'll work just by shaking it around, the vibration is really the key. Same thing with the homemade versions I've tried and/or built myself. Shaking works ''ok'' but if you apply vibration, its a whole different effect. The primers tend to stick and jam at the top of the tube, vibration makes them drop easier.

I built a similar ghetto version from an old Lee hand primer. It sorta works with an electric shaver or toothbrush duct taped to it.

If you know anyone with a vibraprime, you know they wont let you borrow it. They sell on ebay for nearly $200 used. Back when they were still being made, they were $29. The dillon version is $300+ (it has a variable speed moter to adjust vibration to get it just right)
We are still talking about primer tube fillers, right?

I'm excited to try one of these.

I'm a dumbass for starting another tread just for this same thing.

I'm getting in on it also.

I saw this one a guy made on Enos but I'm too lazy and not sure where to find someone to cut the plexi for me.
