Consumer shells are lifted and made break at lower altitude to give the impression of lager and louder breaks, often in the range of much smaller cake tube size than 1.75” or 2”. So keep that in mind.

I heard about this event last year. The location it’s held is really odd and secondly both the sponsors and the host are very hush hush to whom they are.
Your taller canisters come with premium stars/effects so take that into consideration when choosing to purchase shell kits. The shorter shells have older dated effects most times. Still the...
If you are in the St Louis area you really need to check out and join the MPYRO fireworks club. Excellent club with the main focus on displays both 1.4 and 1.3 they also host the annual Sky Wars...
China no longer exports and ships un0431, devices formerly 0431 are now shipped as un0335 from China. These devices are then relabeled in the US.
Thank you APA 87.1 revision…. A lobbyist group for the corporate pyro industry…. Give the street pyros what they want then restrict 1.4pro, there appears to be the agenda all along.
It’s hard to say but the best bet is the word “nishiki” the sparkly trailing stars . However it also depends what the manufacture calls it I’ve seen nishiki named “titanium willow” “golden willow”...
“I attempted to contact Firetek about some technical questions I had about their system and just got a snarky sarcastic response.”
This absolutely surprises me, maybe something was lost in...
I have seen posts on social media and talked to co-workers over the years that we’re confused and swear it was a fireworks accident. This is fairly common thinking when spectators are a long distance...
I used this method when I began making these. Nowadays I do the “egg” method which is more precise measurement of 1.25oz fa grade BP per gallon triple wrapped in electrical tape. These sink so no zip...
Rule of thumb is 100’ per 1” of diameter, that is also the formula that firework simulation software uses. This formula I know for a fact is true from previous shows that I’ve done when judging the...
I been a fireTEK owner and user since 2010. I’ve used it both in hobbyist and pro shows. It’s been very reliable, no repairs other than a mod that I drove over which I had the replace the LCD screen....
I'm not totally fluent on cobra scripts because I use firetek but the file looks fine. Both use similar csv scripts.
The safety channel needs to be for the full duration of the effect or full show duration.
There is another way that is safer than having ematch embedded into the BP. Lengths of quickmatch inserted into the BP charge then ematch into the quickmatch. I do
this for my home built 1.75”...
Check out PGI DOC classes. It’s the true universal accepted training that ALL dealers accept, It’s not limited to just a handful of dealers.

Series for the win. Something quick go with parallel but you won’t get true continuity. It gets a little more complicated if you’re using QP’s but there’s quick split boards out there that can give...
I would opt for the firefly or the ignite systems for a lower cost budget system. Both are far more superior when compared to the type that you’re looking at. The quality of build, ease of use,...
Consumer canister shells use visco for the time fuse which makes them very inaccurate, you’ll be off randomly on every shell by a half second or more. I would look to direct match individual tubes on...
I have both fwsim and finale. Fwsim is what I started with back in ‘18 I believe. I built quite an extensive 1.4 pro library over those years. I choreographed a few shows over those years. I’ve since...
It’s in the recent APA revision. I’m personally not on board with this, it’s completely unnecessary to do great shows. Currently those items are at highway robbery prices.
Be very careful of the buliscon and other low cost chinese units. They been known to malfunction and unintentionally fire. I know of at least 3 instances were this has happened.
Yes, because we all know that this character is the fireworks expert, lol. Anyway shipping door to door has now reached pre covid costs, so dense packing isn’t really an issue anymore.

Multi shot cakes are very important. I do a lot of modifying whether it’s harvesting single shots and racking those individually or firing individual rows within a cake. Comets and mines are...
Anyone off hand know the price difference between initiators vs real ematch? A BATF54 might just be worth it
