A few years ago, the term “nozzle heat” started appearing in marketing materials from a couple of different pepper spray companies. Since then, "nozzle heat" has been spreading like a virus via the internet and in numerous e-commerce stores. We happen to believe that it's inception was brought on by the introduction of Fox's now-famous “FIVE POINT THREE” formulas introduced in 1998. Once Fox started using a 5,300,000 SHU pepper resin (the purest OC resin ever used to create defense sprays), other companies had to figure out how to deal with this in a way that would make their products sound better, even if they couldn’t outperform Fox Labs. Someone got the idea that it didn't matter what went into the formula, it was what was coming out of the nozzle that was important, and we actually agree with that assertion, up to a point.
"Nozzle heat" is what we consider the "marketing tool" or "term of choice" for defense spray companies that prefer to use higher percentages of less-pure lower-grade OC resins. It provides them with a way to create impressive sounding numbers to woo an unsuspecting consumer, and they fail to share that less-pure resins have much more color, sugar, oil, and junk in them. This is why many OC formulas are are dirty looking, opaque liquids - you can easily see this when they are discharged, because they make whatever they hit look like it has been spray-painted.
When companies pump up the percentages of this less-pure resin used in their formulas (usually 10% or higher), they're actually increasing the levels of this worthless, miscellaneous stuff that has nothing to do with stopping power. What this “stuff” really does is slow down (actually delays) how fast these formulas can work. When you increase the amount of inert matter in a formula, it makes it impossible, really and truly impossible, for it to work faster than formulas that use a lower percentage of a much purer resin.
Why does this matter? Because the main feature of a product in this category (defense sprays), is how fast a product can bring someone into compliance, or stop them
from attacking. This means that for the sake of marketing - these companies use higher percentages of low-grade resins so their "nozzle heat story" sounds good, but their performance can be greatly compromised. In addition, the cost savings these companies receive in using less pure resins is incredible! Fox Labs pays up to ten times more for their pepper resins than these
other companies, yet Fox Labs prices remain competitive. So when you're paying less for these higher percentage products, it isn’t because you're getting a good deal. You're getting what you are paying for - simply a cheaper, slower-performing product.
