With the giga jul being somewhat new I haven’t found much sources telling me if it is a reliable piece of equipment for rope soloing. Anyone have thoughts or experiences?

Sounds awful. Definitely not gonna auto-feed

Geometry based assisted braking devices have been explored by a lot of people and I've never seen it end in success. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
