FAQ

The next evolution of fun! Gel Blasters are new revolutionary blasters that blast water based Gellets®.
Gellets® are colorful absorbent beads that disintegrate on contact and begin their dehydration process.

Provides just enough sting to make it exciting! It feels like getting hit with a rubber band—a quick, minor sting. You probably won't even notice because you'll be too busy laughing.

Nope! Gel Blasters blast eco-safe Gellets®. Gellets® are small, colorful, water-based beads. When Gellets® disintegrate on impact, they begin to dehydrate, meaning in time, all evidence of battle is gone!

At least 4 hours for a Surge but we always recommend overnight charging upon the purchase of a new blaster.

Hydrating your Gellets ® is easy!

• Pour the Gellets® into your Gellet Depot or a 1 gallon container.
• Add 1 gallon of water per 1 pack of Gellets®.
• Wait a minimum of 2 hours for your Gellets to grow! For the Starfire Gellets® wait
  4 hours.
• Strain your Gellets® and have a BLAST!
  

Failing to completely hydrate your Gellets® may cause the Gel Blaster to function poorly. Overnight soaking is recommended. Take a look at our Gellets® hydration video here.

**Note**:Gellets® will expand 10x their size. Make sure you use a big enough container and plenty of water. A 1 gallon bucket works great for hydrating a 10,000 Gellet pack.
Don't worry about using too much water. You cannot overhydrate your Gellets™. Store hydrated Gellets™ in an airtight container, away from the elements and direct sunlight.

Hydrated Gellets® will last up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. Fully submerge the Gellets® in water for storage of up to 3 months. Keep dehydrated Gellets® dry until ready to use.

Note: For the Starfire Gellets, we recommend keeping them submerged in an airtight container. This will help to conserve the Gellets for several months.

No, we do not recommend using water beads that are not Gellets with your Gel blaster, as they may not perform as intended.

Yes. As opposed to some water bead products that expand to unsafe sizes, Gellets® stop expanding at just about 7.5 mm, making them half the size of objects found to safely pass through the digestive system if they were to be consumed.

No. Gellets® retain a small, safe size - half the size of objects found to safely pass the digestive system, and are currently compliantly sold globally.  

The recently recalled Chuckle & Roar water beads and the recalled WaterBalz product from 2012 both expanded to unsafe sizes.  WaterBalz expanded to the “size of a racquetball” and the Chuckle & Roar products were advertised as “jumbo.
