The Pepper Blaster, aka Kimber Guardian Angel, self-defense device is quickly becoming the favorite of the consumers in the US. Feel free to check the first article in this series about the device by following the link below.
Let’s say I want to buy a pepper spray for myself or my daughter, which one should I choose: a can of Mace or the Pepper Blaster?. If you might know a Mace will cost you about $13-$18 while the Pepper Blaster sells for $42-$50.
The answer seems simple: “the Mace is cheaper” but we’ve just compared apples and oranges. This is why:
Point 1: Under the weather.
Let’s see what we’ve got. Both Mace and Pepper Blaster use liquid pepper extract (or “Oleoresin Capsicum”, “OC” which is just another name for it). Long time ago when Mace, the manufacturer, started making first defensive sprays, they used different main ingredients but right now it’s mostly the same liquid pepper extract.So they are the same? Not really. Pepper Blaster uses pepper gel while regular mace canister using pepper spray. Spray is much lighter, and when delivered via a stream or a fog from your canister, it is affected by weather factors, like wind or rain.
You have to know about blowbacks and self-contamination. These are industry terms meaning simply that a gust of wind can divert or even revert the stream of your pepper spray. You can miss your target or get it on yourself. Gels are harder to send flying but when in flight they do not stray from their course because they are heavier and thicker.
Point 2: Staying Power
Pepper gel is not just heavier but also stickier than regular pepper spray (by Mace or not). Pepper gel glues to the skin of the assailant and it takes longer to wash off. It means that the gel from Pepper Blaster will disable your attacker for a longer period of time. If Police gets involved then they also have more time to find the attacker.
Point 3: Safer Longer Range
Regular aerosol pepper sprays, including those by Mace, deliver pepper spray at approximately 6 or 8 feet. Pepper Blaster’s range is 13 feet of a straight shot. Every inch of safety counts when you are under attack.
Point 4: Runners and Dodgers
Remember maybe playing with a water squirt gun near the pool? Although the stream from a squirt gun is fast kids could duck it or block it with a hand, or just run away from it. It’s the same deal with the stream from an aerosol can. The spray’s speed is slow so you can see it and react to it by dodging it or avoiding it in some other way.
Not so with the Pepper Blaster. It shoots its charge with 90 mph velocity. One can not see the charge because it is a small transparent blob tht travels with the fast ball speed. So there is no running away, or dodging the shot. My money is on the Pepper Blaster.
Point 5. Money Talk
All aerosol based sprays have one common issue: they have their spray inside under pressure at all times. The pressure is necessary to send the pepper liquid out of the canister. Sometimes the canister has a microscopic leak. The propellant gas escapes out of the canister from this tiny hole. It’s impossible to see or smell because it is so small but over the course of several months the pressure could be completely depleted. When you press on the release button, the canister just sputters and stains your finger. Zero protection when you need it the most. This happens quite often, so considering such a risk, it is generally recommended to replace your old canister of pepper spray/mace every 10-14 months.
Just replace it, like a battery in the smoke detector. Over the course of 3 years, the running cost of a Mace adds up to $35-$55.
The Pepper Blaster does not have any internal pressure to loose and it just can not leak anything out. It will fire its charge 3 years from now as efficiently as it would do today. So comparing 3 cans of Mace over 3 year period with only one Pepper Blaster scores just about even money wise but with much less hustle and risk. That’s a no-brainer - I’d choose the Pepper Blaster.
Whether you dismiss all 5 arguments as biased and over optimistic or agree with them you should buy some self-defense protection for yourself. If you choose to dismiss them then buy a can of mace but if you consider all these points above you will get yourself a very nice dependable safe Pepper Blaster.
Don’t just trust what I say: check what other Pepper Blaster users said about it. Read my first article on the topic and see the videos (links below).
