I've regularly carried tracer BBs of all brands and weights in my years of retailing here, and they do move extremely slow.
I've found that the biggest factor in getting them to move, is cost. It seems that users don't care so much for longest lasting brightness, as long as they mostly glow, are cheap, and offer the same production accuracy/quality as any other BB they would use in their guns.
I would like to see a lower cost high quality (BB Bastard?) alternative on the market.

I find the length is too long and because it is plastic it flexes and the bb's hit the side/end of the tracer unit throwing off the accuracy wildly.
Maybe if there was .25 or .28 tracer BB's that flew in a straight line I would use it more.
I am not sure if newer units are made to avoid this accuracy problem now.

There are. They come with metal threads now.
If you search hard enough, you can also find a metal adapter to fit your v1 tracer unit (I've had one in mine for years.)
