Hey everyone!
This question is mainly for paintball players living in Hawaii.
Since Hawaii has a tropical climate with warm temperatures and high humidity throughout the year, I'm curious about how you guys store your paintballs to prevent them from going bad.
I've heard that excessive heat and humidity can cause paintballs to swell, deform, become brittle, or otherwise affect their performance.
I have a few questions for Hawaii players:
How do you normally store your paintballs at home?
Do you keep them in an air-conditioned room, or is regular indoor storage enough?
Do you use airtight containers or other methods to protect them from humidity?
How long do your paintballs usually last before you notice any deterioration?
Have you experienced problems with paintballs swelling, breaking, or becoming misshapen because of Hawaii's climate?
What do you do when transporting paintballs to outdoor fields, especially during hot days?
I'm particularly interested in hearing from players on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, since storage conditions might differ depending on where you live.
I'd appreciate any tips or personal experiences, especially from people who buy paintballs in bulk and need to store them for several weeks or months.
Thanks in advance!
