- If you follow these instructions and still have issues, try using bottled or distilled water. Some tap water/well water has minerals that affect growth. If you are soaking performance (hardened/ultra hard gel balls) you may want to control grow them
GEL BALL / WATER RATIO (APPROX):
10,000 pack / 8L water (1 GALLON)
5,000 pack / 4L water
METHOD:
Step 1: Empty gel ball pack into bucket / container.
Step 2: Fill the container with the correct water amount (add a little extra for better results).
Step 3: Allow gel balls to soak for a minimum of 4 hours (Overnight recommended)
Step 4: Strain the gel balls before loading them into your magazine.
My guy still reply to a 6 months old video.The dedication is of the roof
I try to respond whenever I can! This is my hobby so I don’t mind
Real
woahh like those mix of colors in the one hopper on the left
Thank you very much. This method has worked great with my my gel beads
Happy to help! Make sure to check out the most recent video, prize pack preview for FEB giveaway! Over $200 in blasters and accessories given away every month on my channel!
Great video 👌
Thank you. You would be amazed how many returns the blaster companies get because people just don’t soak the gel balls properly. Once you see how to do it, most realize it’s pretty easy!
Thanks much needed information 😁
Followed the exact steps now waiting hope it works
It. Should. Worst case, you may need to use bottled water I have made millions
@@GelBallBlasterMaster wow millions thats crazy I new to the hobby I’ve only made about 10,000
Thank you so muchhh I finally know how to use it
Great! Have fun!
Amazing tip and great content.
Thanks! Glad it helped.
thanks!
I did some testing with distilled water and it has yielded way better results! any idea if I can reuse the distilled water?
I don’t see why not. Retry it
Good
Thanks
Hope it helps. It’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it. But many are visual learners so videos can make it much easier to understand
I was also told that u can leave them in the refrigerator as well to let them last long like by the instruction thing but I’m not sure
Doesn’t make a difference. Just store in airtight containers
Where do u put them lik place them at once you start letting them soak in the water like do you jus leave it n a room or where?
Sure. Wherever u want to put them is fine.
If the beads are suppose to be 7-8 mm and you leave them over night will they outgrow the 7-8mm? Thanks for the video information!!
Nope! Fortunately, they can’t get too big
@@GelBallBlasterMaster Thank youuuu!!!
@@GelBallBlasterMaster my gel balls break before leaving the gun and I’ve soaked them twice to see
@@dontariuslewis6075 what blaster? Are you just using the gel beads that came with it? Have you tried using bottled water or distilled water?
@@GelBallBlasterMaster yes the ones that came with it I haven’t used bottled water just water from the tap let them soak over night
I'm using the beads that came with my gun and I left them over night and still most of them arnt big enough to shoot still idk how to get them to go bigger
Is the container big enough? Did you use enough water ?
When you keep the 7-8 mm gel beads in a container will they shrink?
Eventually yes. But in an airtight container they should be good for about 2 weeks.
👍
Many of the gellets that came with my gel blaster hopper were broken & moist. I put them in water overnight, but they never expanded. Would that because they had gotten moist?
What brand/model blaster? They should never be moist in transit. Except “Gel Blaster” brand does send a sealed hopper full of ready to use balls
i had some old orbeez that i don’t think i grew well. do you think i can put some more water in them and they will grow
You can try. Worst case they don’t grow more. How old are they?
When you save. The gel. Balls in the air tight containter do you need water in it or just the balls itself?
Just the gel balls. After you drain them.
@@GelBallBlasterMaster also for longer storage?
@@noahj2748 2 weeks is about the max. You can try longer but they will probably shred when you shoot them
I have a unlocx v2 pistol, and it says 7.5 mm gels and only unlocx brand, but the are so expensive for so little so i bought amazon ones and they say 7-8mm, will they work?
Yes
Can i keep the gel balls inside a fancy bottles with water for too long like months or maybe year?
For display, yes. But I would not use them after more than two weeks
Should I worry about putting too much water in the container with them. Will it damage them ?
No
Entry!
Can I use the gel ammo in the flock foam shell ejector guns the foam ammo is 7-8 mm in size?
I am not familiar with that blaster, but if it takes 7-8mm maybe?
I’m buying a gel blaster but I’m curious if normal orbeez fit and work
If they are 7-8mm size. If not, no
Do they go bad like mushy if I leave them in the water for to long like 5-7 days or will they stay the same
They will become more fragile and easily break and possibly jam up your blaster. Always drain the water
Yes bro, what should I search on Amazon to get 7-8mm gel balls?
“Gel blaster gel balls”?
I have a ex shot, hyper clutch gel blaster, but I want to make the gel balls more painful and shooting, how can I do that? Me and my friends are going to have a war with gel blasters and that’s the only one I have the X shots, hyper clutch gel blaster, it says it has a semi automatic mode, but I don’t know how to switch to it
it probably only has a "manual" semi automatic mode. In regards to more painful gels - not with those blasters, they really aren't strong enough to use hardened gels. You just need better, stronger blasters
When soaking the beads do I have to cover the container or no?
Not necessary
I got a m416 gel blaster and the gel guns come out the magazine but When I shoot it, it struggles to shoot out and they break before impact
Could be your gel balls aren’t soak properly, but if you have a mechanical magazine m416, they are pretty much the worst blaster model when it comes to feeding issues.
But what happens if you leave them in for too long, I left mine for around 5 hours checked on them and they were fine although I checked another 5 hours later and they all shrunk again in the water . Can I reuse them? If so how long should I put it in the water? Waiting for the reply thank you so much :)
They should not shrink again. 5 hours is fine for cheap gel balls. They will stop growing at 7-8mm no matter
@@GelBallBlasterMaster thank you so much I just put new ones in and i will wait 5 hours and observe the size :D
Thanks I just got mine from temu
Great have fun. Make sure to participate in the current giveaway! (3) blasters plus accessories!!
What gun did u get I have a Glock coming tmr
@@yoboionhoopz8360 I have 100s
Any review on TG ARP9 v2 gel blaster sir?
Just got 2 from emerbu toys
My orbeez are big but not hard what can i do plz reply
So they grew properly? How hard are you expecting? What kind are they, what blaster do you have?
Have you tried glow in the dark gel balls
Yes. They glow great in the hopper and in the ground but I could not see them well at night even with green laser. I have some new ones coming from AUSGEL to try.
@@GelBallBlasterMaster update?
@@motogeekcomp6045 there is a video from earlier this week
@@GelBallBlasterMaster aight bet,
i have got the gell balls and stored them in a air-tight plastic bottle.
I put it in a magazine, ejected a gell ball indicating the slots are full, but suddenly its not allowing me to shoot still. EIther they are not grown out as they have to be or something's wrong. I discovered there is a tiny bit of droplets in the AK47 Gel Blaster hopper;
this should not be a problem no? I cant really just use a tissue because the hole is small. I think that will just evaporate itself out right?
Thanks.
Which blaster do you have? A magazine fed blaster? Is it a mechanical magazine? Some of those are just really bad and hardly work.
@@GelBallBlasterMaster electric, magazine-fed.
@@galaxygaming4545 I would just start over and try again with a new batch.
@@GelBallBlasterMaster Noted. Will do.
Please respond asap for the water if I wanna put the gel balls in the container that comes with the gun until what do I fill the water to please please respond asap?
In the little hopper? I just would soak them in a different container
what if i soke them longer than 6 would that inpact it in any ways
No, just drain them and store them in airtight containers just like I say :)
Where did you buy it from ? Where can I get these seperate hoppers extra mag please. Link?
Amazon has tons of options. Many come with the hoppers. ACINA US is one brand and Chermory.
For some reason my gel beads never grow right there always to small no matter how long I leave them in water for
Try using bottled or distilled water. In some places, the minerals in tap water cause issues
hey uh what if my gel balls shrink?, how do i regrow them, ive put them in a container with water and ive even put them in a bottle with water but they havent regrown
They do t always regrow like that. If you tried re soaking not much else to do.
Should I keep my gelballs in water, or should I drain it and keep them without any water?
How do they last longer?
Drain them. Store in airtight container. 2 weeks
Should've watched this before I dumped the whole bag
Just switch to bigger container and add more water
Is it okay to just load about 10 to 15 gel balls in a magazine? Or does the mag have to be loaded up to its full capacity to use? I tried using only like 15 and it wouldn’t shoot. Please answer asap thx
Filling the mag is always best. Also, are you using a motorized magazine or is it mechanical? If mechanical, you must manually Prime it each time you fill it. Some mechanical mags will always be inconsistent
@@GelBallBlasterMaster hi bro, how to properly prime the mag? My mechanical mag didn't react as intended during priming
@@leonghuichuenben8306 what happened when you kept clicking the button?
@@GelBallBlasterMaster gels didn't pop out as intended. But I was able to shoot a few gels out only after I load the mag
@@leonghuichuenben8306 might just be some smaller ones. If they r shooting ok then don’t worry about it
I leave my gel beads for 30 mins and there good for use . Is that still good ?
If they work in your blaster then yes
does the temperature of the water matter at all? i’m using xshot hyper gel balls
No
Question…you’re saying a litre of water but that looks like just a regular bottle that only has like 2 cups in it. So, is that enough?
Never worry about too much water, just drain at the end. Worry about not enough water
is it ok to leave them overnight? need to know asap thanks
Yes. No problem
So 1 tea spoon of tiny beads will fill up a hopper after they turn to 7-8 mm right ?
About that
Bruh 😭😭
So how many tea spoons
@@Mario_2k don’t worry about making an exact hopper full. A hopper is about 500 so if you have a 500 pack of beads that is easy. But otherwise make a slightly larger batch in a bigger container. Here is an approximate ratio: GELL BALL / WATER RATIO:
10,000 pack / 8L water
5,000 pack / 4L water
Can I soak them in a thermoflask? I look at the videos but some of their Tupperware or pans are something I don’t have. If I can can you post a video about it or tell me how much water I need to do so?
Sure. Thermoflask is fine. Don’t worry about too much water. Approx:
10,000 pack / 8L water (1 GALLON)
5,000 pack / 4L water
@@GelBallBlasterMaster thanks dude, I really needed some help 🫡🙂👍
@@Brothernugget no prob. Let me know if u have more questions
@@GelBallBlasterMaster ok
Can you put to much water or do they not grow bigger than 8mm
They will stop growing 7-8mm regardless. Better to use too much water, you just drain it off in the end anyway
@@GelBallBlasterMaster ok thanks
My 7.5mm gel balls get to max 6mm diameter, i soak them more than long enough(over night, and have even had some for 3-4 days) with enough water(gel balls max half of the water level when already soaked through) am i doing something wrong?
Try bottled or distilled water
@@GelBallBlasterMaster will give it a try.
What happens if there smaller than 7-8 mm
The gun just won’t really work. They will double feed and jam the gun too
They just won’t shoot I think 🤔
what do i do if i made to many?
Store in airtight containers like I say in the video. They will last up to 2 weeks
If my gel balls didnt grow 7-8mm the first time can I use the same ones to grow them
You can add water or try bottled or distilled water
For like 400 balls is a liter enough? Tried distilled water and its the same size
@@kizbo69 you can always use more water. It will not hurt them. If you have tried distilled water and still not growing right you may just have a bad batch I guess
IM THE 1K LIKE
Awesome! You must be lucky! So make sure u r participating in the current giveaway!!
Yes i feel, my first batch was a little too small, i sh*t 2 per shot . (Sorry for broken the english)
How long did you soak them? Try bottled water if they don’t grow right
I heard not to soak gel balls in rainwater any reason why.
not sure it would matter or not. You can certainly try it out
hey,, how much water per table spoon of gel beads? If I put too much water, will anything happen?
and do every type of gel beads work for these guns?
As long as they are 7-8mm gel balls for 7-8mm gel blasters. (95% of blasters are 7-8mm)
No such thing as too much water. The beads stop growing at 7-8 mm (pretty much) so just make sure to drain the excess water after they sit 3-4 hours or overnight is fine too
GELL BALL / WATER RATIO:
10,000 pack / 8L water (1 GALLON)
5,000 pack / 4L water
@@GelBallBlasterMaster thanks !!!
Does storing in a low or high temperature effect them at all?
It should not. As long as airtight. I would suggest between 50-70f
colder makes them harder and hit harder warmer more gentle
God’s video
I have a bag with 20.000 in them. How much water do I need in order to let them all grow to 7-8 mm?
Or should I use smaller amounts instead of using them all at once? Because mine are to big for the gun, they are like 8-9mm and they don’t fit
Just buy the correct ones. Don’t make all 20000 at once either unless you plan on using them quickly.
if i soak them with a whole gallon what will happen pls lmk
Nothing. You drain the excess water after 4 hours or so, it doesn’t matter
How do you know if your gellets are the right size? Cause mine look smaller compared to the video but maybe I took them out early or its just me
But anyways thanks for the info as I am getting the gell blaster gen 3 surge
Blaster won’t work right if they r too small. Easiest way to know for sure!
Can I use cold water and put it in a bottle
It should still work. Just use enough water. Make sure the bottle is big enough and give them time
How long do I have to wait for the gel balls to grow 7-8mm? Thanks for the information this will help a lot. Because I am about to buy a glock-drum gel blaster.
3 hours at least or leave them overnight. It says times in the video too😀
1 hour
@@Splatsumm i do not believe one hour is long enough but if your blaster is working fine with the gel balls after one hour, then keep it up.
3 to 4 hours is what I saw was recommended lol
@@xXxMelodyxXx18 that’s is correct. Try using bottled water or distilled water. Some places have minerals/additives in tap water that affect growth
Question when they finish do you take the water out?
Yes, drain them
@@GelBallBlasterMaster Do you add water if you not using them to put them in the fridge?
@@kanyelevelup you can always refresh with water for a few hours prior to use but most say you should not leave them in water. The AUSGEL ultra elite gel balls can be left in water but those are a hardened performance ball and won’t work well in any blasters under 200 fps. My advice is to drain and store in airtight container. If they don’t get used for a week, add a little water prior to use an hour or so before and then drain excess water before using.
@@GelBallBlasterMaster Thank you so wonder why it get jammed in the gun
@@kanyelevelup yes. I don’t recommend this blaster due to this. 95% of blasters use 7-8mm
Please give me the Amazon link of 7-8mm gel balls.
SEARCH "GEL BLASTER AMMO" 99% will be 7-8mm. Hardly any blasters use any other size. If you can't find them, then they may not be available for your state due to state specific laws
How long can i store the orbeez in a Container?
Airtight for a max of two weeks (if you plan on using them). They will “look” okay for months. I have some in a glass skull bottle for 12mos but I would not sue them. They would just break up, they become very fragile.
Bro can we use orbeez please answer me quickly?
if they are 7-8mm specifically sized ones

@@RED_888YT thanks. Make sure to check out the current monthly contest. I give away over $200 in blasters and accessories every month on my YT channel. June contest is live right now. Go to my channel main page
I added the whole bag and they haven't grew much why I'd that
How big is the container? How much water did you use? Did you wait 3-4 hours?
How should I strain them if i dont have a strainer?
Just use your hand
@@GelBallBlasterMaster thanks
So you have to buy new amo after your done with one pack
Yes. It is not reusable. You will always need to buy more.
@@GelBallBlasterMaster how long would I have to wait to buy more if I have 2 packs ? If you know
@@Lazer99912 depends on the size of packs you have. They are likely 5000 or 10000. Then it depends on how often you are playing so you kind of have to figure that out first.
@@GelBallBlasterMaster got you
What if your gels aren’t growing I left them all night and there like 4.5mm
Did you use enough water? If yes, then try bottled or distilled water. They try a different brand of gels if that doesn’t work
Where do you get that teaspoon from? (UK)
I am sure it was on Amazon but it came with a complete set of measuring spoons and cups.
Where did you purchase these from?
They were sent from amazon. There are hundreds of choices
I don’t know what I did wrong I was just doing an experiment cause this is my first time getting a gel blaster so I put two beads in a lot of water they got big and then I forgot to take them out and they shrunk again
after how long?
@@GelBallBlasterMaster a day
@@tac12gaming9 Just soak for 3-4 hours next time. If you still have problems, try using bottled or distilled water
How do you drain the water man, it’s hard for me
Use a strainer? Or just kind of use your hand to block the balls from falling out
So every tea spoon you should add 10 ounces ?
Don’t worry about being exact. Too much water is fine. It will get drained off when they are done
How do I get the $200? Do I have to participate in a contest?
You don’t win $200. The prize is worth over $200. Wait for the contest to start, it explains it all. No more questions as they will all be answered when the contest is announced
Do I have to put a lid over them?
No
I looked on Amazon but there are many different things available.
Yes, what blaster do you have? If it is an inexpensive blaster or under 200fps, any of the 7-8mm gel beads will work fine
Can I use boiling water to prepare gel balls because where I bought my gun they suggested I do for 3 hrs?
Boiling water for 3 hours? No reason at all to do that and it would be dangerous too. Whoever told you that might have been messing with you.
@@GelBallBlasterMaster what's the best way to do them?
@@OOPMD-backs I have multiple videos that show. Just use regular water. Make sure u have a large enough container and soak 4-6 hours. Then drain. Watch the other videos
@@GelBallBlasterMaster thanks dude
@Sir Yes I don’t think it makes much if a difference but definitely don’t use boiling water.
Do you have to have a lid on
Just for storage. Should be airtight. Up to 2 weeks
What will I get by living?
Huh?
What do you do with the ones that didn't go in the gel blaster????
Store in air tight containers for up to two weeks.
@@GelBallBlasterMaster and do u store them with the water or u drain the water out?
@@relentlesspursuit897 drain first
Will they still be okay if its around 12 hrs soak?
For generic gel beads in a “regular” blaster you should be fine. Just drain them and store in airtight containers
@@GelBallBlasterMaster thanks!
Do they dry up over time? If i would shoot it around the house would it be messy?
Yes, it would be messy inside. Should not stain but they make a mess. They will dry up eventually. Definitely advise you only use outside!
@@GelBallBlasterMaster ok thx, thought gel blasters would be less messy/burden of cleaning, alternitive to nerf
@@panhem7149 no. Nerf darts don’t explode into pieces on impact. You would not need to pick up the pieces but it would be messy. I have never heard of anyone using them inside.
@@GelBallBlasterMaster Yeah i thought it would just lay around and dry up so i can vacuum it all up, and it wouldnt be as messy as airosft bbs or nerf darts
@@panhem7149 unfortunately no, in an unfinished basement maybe
Have you ever gotten gel balls that just refuse to grow? I have some and not sure what happened to them.
It is rare. Most likely your tap/well water has minerals/contaminants that do not work with the gel beads. In your case you may have to use bottled water or distilled water

@@Turnerswiffleballlauge the vast majority of gel balls are 7-8mm size. That means they are between 7-8mm. It is very rare to find any that say they are one exact size only. Other sizes are 6-7 and then there are some large 9-10mm. So if you truly have some 7mm only or 8mm only that is very rare but they should work anyway
