Flawlessly! I just bought 100 more of them. :)
A few weeks ago, a club I belong too asked me to put on a modest little pyro show the Saturday evening after Thanksgiving...so of course I obliged. Here was my setup for the 6-ish minute mini-show:...
Interesting...this looks very similar to some other initiators I've used but they lose continuity about 20-25% of the time after firing. Of course, I may be failing to properly consider the forces...
Ah, ok. I assumed MJG was just nichrome covered by pyrogen (or some similar agent) which, is many/most cases, would just burn through. How are they designed then?
Maybe I'm operating on a bad premise, but wiring in series would seem to inject a whole lot of risk of some of them not firing at all due to loss of continuity? The matches I've used are the same...
Thanks for sharing that. Sounds grim.
I'm guessing you've never owned or run a company where a large portion of the money is tied up in maintaining inventory?
Raising prices on existing inventory does NOT make a company...
I signed and threw a few bucks at them, too.

Hello and welcome, from just down the road from you in Duluth, Ga!
In the high-power rocketry hobby, our safety code (and insurance) dictates that if there are any "occupied structures" within the minimum safe distance radius (1500'+ for the larger rockets), they...
For tails, the best bang for the buck that I've found (double-pun intended) are the Bang-Kok ball shells from Ninja Fireworks. Not sure how easy those are to find outside of Alabama & Atlanta,...
One thing that I don't think ever really bubbles up in the minds of a lot of people is that the 200 and 500 gram numbers are not absolute. The fine print says "up to 200" or "up to 500". I might...
Exactly. Just enough to provide a nice fire bridge from the wire to the exposed fuse core is all i was thinking of adding.
As opposed to doing some surgery on a fuse to expose more powder, has anyone opted to just put some extra powder in the cap?
I have some FFFF powder that I use in my other hobby (model rocketry)...
I second the motion on both of those two. Nuclear Sunrise is especially good, in my opinion.
It may not make sense, but here's more evidence that it's real. This was a thread I just found here on this Forum from October 2017:

Take pics if you do.
On the same topic, I saw a video while I was just at lunch of someone who cut open a new excal. They didn't mention a dual lift, but they did show the break charge and stars...
The Excals I purchased from that infamous store were from the 2016 production run. If the website you mention above is also selling the older stock, then that's a heckuva deal. But I suspect these...
Yeah, I had the same reaction. I think the Pyro gene is more dominant in the DNA of Georgians. :)
Sorry for the bad terminology... Yes, I meant 3 boxes of 24 shells.
You've read my mind apparently. I am planning to do my big show this year on the 6th about 200 miles south of where I live and I just would not have enough time to get everything set up and fused...
I still have yet to make it to a Jakes. I have to drive past 2-3 other pyro stores that I like to get to the closest one to me so it just hasn't happened...yet. I will get there one day, though. :)
And in the Duluth area, I hate to say the name due to their reputation as having extremely high prices, but that Fan Tom brand has a store near Gwinnett Place Mall that keeps their B1G2 sale going...
Welcome to the forum from a fellow Georgian. Living in the Metro Atlanta area now, but grew up in South Georgia.
