Bottom Line
The Gel Blaster Gellet Depot is a cleverly designed, collapsible storage tub perfect for soaking and storing large quantities of gellets efficiently, with features like a secure lid, handle, and integrated spout that are thoughtfully implemented. However, persistent issues with the water spigot’s design—such as difficulty operating it and accidental leaks—can quickly turn hydration sessions into messy ordeals. If you’re prepared to handle the quirks of the valve or primarily want a durable, space-saving container for gellets, this might work for you. Otherwise, gel blaster enthusiasts looking for an easier hydrating and draining experience might want to consider supplementing this with a simple colander or look for alternative prep solutions that offer smoother pouring and drainage.
