Pressure is Better! But why?

When talking to a new or even semi-seasoned casual water gun user about the options available, I often hear many of the following thoughts:

“I like this water gun. It’s simple to use and shoots with every pump!”

“I don’t like water guns that I have to pump so many times before it will even work. Talk about being slow to respond when someone is attacking you!”

“This pump-action water blaster gets basically as much range as that pressurized water blaster. Why should I spend more and not get any real range advantage?”

When there is time to explain and show side-by-side comparison of pump-action version pressurized water blaster performance, most will understand the advantage of pressure. However, anyone have additional ideas on how to better inform others on why we should really demand more pressurized water guns from manufacturers and retailers alike?

One Year of iSoaker on Social Media

Happy one year for iSoaker Warriors on Facebook and Google+!

One year has now passed since I finally opted to dive more into social media with varying levels of success. While neither page has grown virally, both have proven useful for interacting with fellow water blaster and water warfare enthusiasts and, as such, are deemed successful. As more things develop and change over the next few years, it will be interested to see how both these channels grow.

iSoaker.net Registration Bug – FIXED?

So much for a simple solution – seems like the current WordPress installation for iSoaker.net is not allowing new users to Register properly. I’ve tried to register a new account (using one of my other email accounts to test) and have not received a registration confirmation email. I know of at least one other person who has tried to register without success.  Looking into it.

 

Update: I reconfigured how emails are being handled by this installation. If you have not received a confirmation email, please try re-requesting your password and hopefully it works now.

Buzz Bee Toys Inc. Website updated for 2015

Buzz Bee Toys Inc.

While it happened about a week ago, for those who haven’t seen it yet, Buzz Bee Toys Inc.’s website was updated for Spring, 2015, including pages for their newest Water Warriors water blaster models.

While the site, itself, remains very basic in terms of functionality, I will admit it is at least easier to navigate than the 2014 version of the site that took ~4 or more clicks to actually reach a product page.

That said, while the new Water Warriors items are ok, it would have been nice to see a new truly-pressurized water blaster released. Then again, I probably understand better than most the challenges they’ve faced and some of the reasons behind the lack of a new pressurized water blaster at this point in time, but that is the topic for a future post.

Boys vs. Girls

By: Maurice

I discovered the world of supersoakers about a year ago. I collected about 15 soakers. Since I’m a sportsteacher I decided to let my students enjoy these unknown classic old fashioned waterguns as well. The students spend most of their time behind a pc so running for your life with a huge supersoaker in your hands is a more fun and active lifestyle. Continue reading Boys vs. Girls
