Modified mine by putting some washers behind the spring. This essentially creates more potential energy by compressing the spring even further when firing. Definitely hits harder.
@@engineerable I'd say 12 to 15 MM (didn't measure exactly) Nothing too crazy because I didn't want to strip the gears. They seem to be holding up well at this point (the mod has been installed for about two weeks now). Firing full auto is great, but rapid firing at semi auto you can hear the motor starting to struggle a bit, I think from the constant starting and stopping.
@@codyjohnson3893 every couple months I take mine apart and stretch the spring a Lil bit then clean and re lube the piston with super lube always helps
I had one and it only lasted a few days, turns out the ammo hopper on top of the gun allows water to leak into the gun itself damaging the electronics inside ( not waterproof). The gel guns with a magazine underneath ensure dry electronics inside the gun and are the better option in my opinion.
Yes that can happen. It's important to strain the gels well before loading them with any blaster. With the underneath magazine it's possible to damage the feed motor if the gels are too wet.
I bought one from Walmart on the 1st. Fire about half the hopper and then it stopped firing. Spent about 5 minutes with it total. I had purchased a 1.0 from Hallmark on the same day, it was $69.99, then I saw the 2.0 at my local Walmart on sale for $45 so it seemed like a no brainer. I think the FPS is stronger and faster on the 1.0, but there was a battery fire recall just recently on the 1.0 and I didn't want to be modding so soon. Returned the 1.0 and now I have a non functioning 2.0 which I can't return (Walmart has a no return policy on gel blasters). Waiting on gel blaster team to respond to my emails, it's been over 24 hours smh.
Starfire is my favorite for the glow in the dark. But the batteries on all the ones I have are not great. I want to do an external battery mod, so I can change the batteries.
Is the Id of the 1.5 barrel the same as the 2.0 also curious about the springs I know the 1.5 has a slightly stiffer spring then the original that's why the fps is higher but rof is slower
Probably just temporarily out of stock on Amazon due to popularity. I've seen some of my local Walmart. Search Google there are many other places to buy.
V1 is no longer sold new, so you would have to find a used one. V2 (which I've found out is actually V1.6) is a better blaster. STARFIRE is coming out soon, and it is a V2 with tracer for glow in the dark gel balls
@@engineerable starfire is gonna be the way to go now for only $10 more for tracer ability instead of having to buy an adapter and separate tracer only reason I did tracers on mine is because I already had ones from my airsoft gear lol
So. Do you know how I could obtain 2 original barrels for the surge 2.0? I bought two and put on the orange barrel not knowning it was a speed reducer. And my gf unknowingly threw away my boxes with both barrels and barrel removal tool.
2.0 is better than 1.5. They had issues with the variable speed barrel used in the 1.5. I noticed that gels get smashed and plug the variable speed holes. The rocker switch on the 2.0 is too easy to accidentally turn on. Not a big deal, but be aware.
Hey i had opened mine and my switch broke from the back. it got rust in it and broke. do you think i can replace that part?. *please help its the only gel blaster i can offord and not able to lose it for one switch. its the SURGE 2.0*
I haven't taken the 2.0 apart yet, but I assume it's a 3 position switch, so if you can find another similar 3 position toggle switch you can replace it.
Hey man, I have the splat r ball SRB 400. Based off your other videos I belive my gears are stripped and the V3 gearbox is a better replacement. Is it possible you could get me a long for that gear box,thanks.
Check out my post here for details about gearbox upgrade. There will be some minor mods required to make the airsoft gearbox work. www.engineerable.com/single-post/what-s-inside-splat-r-ball-gel-blaster-i-take-apart-gel-ball-blaster-to-see-how-it-s-made-works I will have a video about this later, so subscribe.
@@engineerable the valken hoppers are nicer tho they look better hold a bit more and faster to reload but also keep an eye out for the new star fire hopper from Gel Blaster it's basically a tracer hopper that lights up the glow gels
@@taylorrichter1320 Thanks, I'm also curious about this tracer hopper from Geltactical geltactical.com/product/redglowgelhopper/ It should fit the SURGE. Have you seen my SURGE tracer mod? Works great and no extra batteries needed: ua-cam.com/video/cQoaJY9NcYE/v-deo.html
Hey bro so i bought a surge 2.0 and worked fine, but i tried chargin it today, and it seemed fine but when i came back light was flashin green and red and doesnt wanna turn on anymore ? Any idea?
Cool, I'm down to try it out. What is the newer model? Am I correct that the variable FPS version was 1.5? So then I assumed that the version I showed here with changeable barrels is 2.0? What's new with the newer model?
Let’s gooo 2.0 time!!!! Now can we get the LED glow in the dark mod!!

Good idea. How many MM thick did you add of washers? Does it sound like the gears/motor is straining?

@@engineerableyea when my gels are fully gown I put them In one of them strainer bowls and then load them in the hopper
it literally tells you in the pamphlet that comes with it that that can happen
you should of strained the water
So that is the true 2.0. Nice video 📺 I was at Walmart yesterday and picked up a translucent lighting blaster. I am putting out the video tonight.📺
Just ordered 3 of these babies! Can't wait to light my wife and daughter up!😅😅
My wife refused to play until one day the kids convinced her to ambush and light me up when I got home. Now she's hooked. 😂

That sucks it didn't work and they won't let you return. The original 1.0 appears to have a recall on it.
Im planning on getting this as my secondary
i love gel blasters
So I was just in Walmart and I guess they are both 2.0 but they have slightly different box images and blasters themselves sound different
They keep pushing new revisions to the shelves with improvements. It's hard to keep up, but good that they keep making them better.
Hi I was wondering if you had any advice for a gel blaster surge trigger not moving.
How long does the gel blaster battery last?
Wat is your favorite version buddy?
Got my 1.5 today...thought I'm getting a 2.0.
Starfire is my favorite for the glow in the dark. But the batteries on all the ones I have are not great. I want to do an external battery mod, so I can change the batteries.
Awesome video! I just copped and was trying to double check if the ammo takes 7.5mm, the same as the regular splatrball gun
Thanks, yeah bro, same ammo. 7.5mm or also commonly known as 7-8mm
@@engineerable appreciate you brother thanks again
Is the Id of the 1.5 barrel the same as the 2.0 also curious about the springs I know the 1.5 has a slightly stiffer spring then the original that's why the fps is higher but rof is slower
Will have to check.
Can you tell me how to know if it's fully charge and also when it's need to be charged
Also does your one works till now?
Where can I get this one because it’s not on Amazon anymore?
Probably just temporarily out of stock on Amazon due to popularity. I've seen some of my local Walmart. Search Google there are many other places to buy.
What should I do if my 2.0 isn’t shooting
That's too vague. A lot of things could be wrong.
When are you gonna do a video of what’s inside the Splatrball SRB1200
Working on it. Gonna post it within a few days. Working on a lot of gel blaster content and taking them apart, repairing and modifying.
Where can i get a Version 1 because im from Germany and dont know where to get it ?
Or do you think that version 2 is better/good as well ? because Im able to get one of this

Contact Gel Blaster gelblaster.com/
They are the only ones that would have those.
Is there a 2.0 vs 3.0 video? Ty
Hi one question can this gun be charged wile playing with a power bank to extend the time playing?
I'm not sure. Usually it's not a good idea to charge high current draw devices while they are running
Mine broke because I was shooting it too fast in the single fire
I just got 2 of these 4 5 bucks each. I call out a false price. 2 4 ten dollars. They like 70 each. I got 150 worth of toy 4 10 bucks. Yay me!
Score!
Wich one should i buy?

Guys please help me my blaster turned off and I charged it and it still not turn on
If your PCB got wet, it needs to dry off first to work. Otherwise, you need to talk to Gel Blaster company
How long does it need to charge
2-3 hours
I got one but the next day it didn’t want to shoot or charge do you know a fix?
Sounds like a dud. Maybe got water on circuit board? Ask for a replacement

Hi
After a day it it didn’t hurt anymore when I shot
Like you got tougher, or the blaster got weaker?
Mine stop shooting on single Fire then it won’t turn off
Contact Gel Blaster
@@engineerable do u have a link bye any chance?
Can I change the fps?
Yes, you change the FPS using swappable barrels.
I just got one and it doesn’t shoot 100% of the time I charged it and it just doesn’t shoot like normal getting stuck or something need help
How long did you let the gel balls grow?
@@engineerable 2 hours like it said
@@DnagSparky 2 hours is not long enough. It takes at least 4 hours
@@engineerable well I got it 2 days ago and let it sit for another 3 hours or so still doing the same thing
do Floyd Mayweather gel blaster
You have one? I think it's the 1.5 version
@@engineerable they are actually the original version no semi auto or velocity adjustment
my thing wont charge bru
Make sure it's dry (on inside). If it continues not charging, contact Gel Blaster or return it
Why does mine not shoot hard or far
You're either using the orange barrel instead of the white one, or your gel balls are not fully grown.
