The second I chose to arm myself with defense spray, the best thing I did was talk with somebody already utilizing the item. If my aim was to give protection to myself during dangerous situations, it was wise to not only have a personal defense weapon handy. It would likewise pay to find out which kinds would do the best job. Sure, I could get a Mace self defense spray, however which sort should I opt for?

Thus, I sat down along with another person knowledgeable and asked for self defense spray tips to be able to help me in buying one. Lester made certain I knew pepper sprays are non-deadly and leave no permanent injury. He stated their own effects are supposed to be prompt but temporary.

Fast-acting and also intense effects were precisely what I was trying to find, so I could incapacitate my aggressor swiftly and then run for assistance. I discovered the initial effect is pain and an intense burning feeling. Lester stated if I sprayed dead in the face, I could expect the eyes to slam shut. This would result in disorientation.

I was truly after making it tough for my assailant to breathe. Educators coming from firearms academies have mentioned that really great self defense sprays have high Scoville Heat Unit ratings of at least 2 million. The higher the SHU, the more potent the spray is.

A test of several pepper spray brands like Freeze +P, Sabre OC/CS, Sabre Red, First Defense and Fox 5.3 also revealed that sprays with capsicum solution amounts between 2% and also 5% were more effective, Lester revealed.

It appears that whatever with levels above 5% don't atomize very well. This results in the spray acting slower and becoming much less effective, he stated.

Another suggestion I acquired from Lester was on the spraying technique. By using a cone or fog pattern, pepper particles stay in the air for a longer time and are likely to have an impact on lung breathing for the further incapacitation of the aggressor.

Lester's words of advice: whether I purchase some Mace spray or some other brand, I'll make wiser purchase by figuring out which kinds work best to protect me against the bad guys.
