That matches who manufactured the...

I'm just a hobbyist (retired from seasonal pro work). I just add factory codes as I see them either in person or from...
I'd prefer the bulk packing even if it's not a cost savings. Less hassle to deal with extra tubes and cardboard that you don't want or need.
If I'm storing them, it's less space it takes up. I...
Red Apple shells are made from several factories (and could vary year to year). Those same factories will make product for other brands.
I saw someone else mention Red Apple shells, I thought they...
The "new" 1.4 pro stuff is APA 87-1 stuff defined at https://www.americanpyro.com/apa-standard-87-1
It's actually from 2018, it just took that long to go through the process.
I didn't see quick...
Cobra is probably your best bet for long cables. Cables on demand makes some nice cables as well.
https://cablesondemand.com/25-pin-d-sub-cable-db25 has a variety of DB25 cables. They have 26 AWG...
I haven't really had the opportunity to play with fireTEK.
I think they could do much better on their website. https://www.firetekfiringsystem.com/ has been in coming-soon for how long? That's...

It's maintained by the folks from Cobra.
Reach out to Cobra. Some of the older 18R2s had that issue. They have a little board that plugs inside it that fixes the problem. They will provide it for free or you can ship it to them and they...

Has info/links. I think it's fairly new. Seems well integrated with ignite firing systems pages/instructions. (The links...
I slip them into 3" HDPE mortars/racks. It's easy and adds an extra layer of safety. I bought some 3" racks from PyroBoom.

Check out the Ras Al Khaimah’s NYE 2022 drone fireworks. Since they are not restricted to US laws/rules, they can attach fireworks to the drones.

Well, did they really? Kinda, but not live.
Intel’s drone light show never got off the ground for the 2018 Winter Olympics opening ceremony
They aired pre-recorded footage anyway.

The AOP product rule changes I believe is the "2018 APA STANDARD 87-1C". It took almost 4 years to start seeing the changes.
You can read the details here:...
Nice. I always find it interesting to see/know what product is being used in a show.
I do the subtitles with my shows as well. I have a little program that will take a cobra or finale script and...
ideally, you don't want to jam anything into the shrouded igniter. Visco shouldn't touch the ematch head. The shroud is designed to prevent contact/reduce friction/prevent contamination and bonding...
I make up these little e-ported QM sections in advance. Some QM is easier to do that others. I like the QM with several strands. I'm usually able to get those strands inside the port, with the paper...
Many of the NOAB 3" shells are ball shells with an attached lift cup. The lift cup can have some black powder strands coming out of it or there are black powder strands sitting in the bottom that...
They posted a video showing making/demo of some 1.4g pro. It will be nice to have another option.

There are lots of variables (firing voltage, cable length and wire size/awg), the number of initiators and how you are wiring them (parallel vs series).
Good CAT 5 is should be 24AWG copper....
If it's more than 5 seconds, you might consider doing some ground effects like a gerb, flame pot or strobe pot. They can go well with a quiet section in the music and keep the audience engaged.
...
There might be a *little* relief in the cost of some zipper cakes coming soon. The tube spacing requirement was recently changed which will allow them (under certain conditions) to be made without...
It will be interesting to see video of the Pulse Pounder that's actually shipped/sold in the US. (I only see the one video and we don't know if that's the US production run.)

I usually just cut a small slit in the bottom side with a box cutter. Slip the igniter/initiator in and tape it back up.
The length and diameter (DR9 vs DR11) will affect the shape/height a bit. I...
