Just curious, which brands are the actual Chinese company brands? I'm guessing Winda, Brothers, and Raccoon are. Am I right? What others are Chinese vs American house brands?

Edit: Yes they are all manufactured in China. Brands people. Which are the actual Chinese brands used by the Chinese companies and not the American rewraps?

Anybody else get a type of high from lighting and watching fireworks ???

I ordered a pack of so-called double dipped 10" sparklers from their website which was apparently supposed to come in a white package with their logo on it but all I got was a set of Great America firework Company sparklers which I could have just went to a gas station and got instead of waiting a week and a half. Those sparklers are junk by the way.

Hello yall! I have always been a HUGE pyro head. When I was younger I hadnt seen much of the west coast stuff like the crazy rockets, etc. I know you can make those and all, and most out there probably do or they are just readily available because of how close you are to a port. I live in tennessee though. However being completely open and honest here I made some mistakes a few years ago and ended up getting a felony on my record. Good news is, should be expungable after due time if everything goes to plan.

I wasnt a menace to society or anything like that, just caught a dumb charge for selling weed. and never did I think that would be able to stop me from exploring the firework world more, which now makes sense since they are technically explosives. But it even limits me to even getting my hands on the pro line stuff.

Does anyone have any advice on how I could get into it more? Am I completely fucked and just shit out of luck? I would just try to find a connect, but once again in Tennessee you dont ever see any of the good shit that you do out there, and I am not trying to break any laws. I just wanna get my hands on some true OLs/1:1s. Some of the rockets you see out there would be dope as shit to, but like I said I know those are gray area because of how unstable they are, thats the main reason you cant find many consumers or that theyve been getting pulled do to the fuel degrading and causing faulty fires/etc.

Any pyro heads here in the Volunteer state that could give me any input? Any input in general is appreciated!
(PS I know federally it is legal to make your own as long as you dont gift/transport/etc. but TN has laws to where you have to have a license to do so.)

(Mods take down if not allowed, stated I am not trying to break any laws, and how to do it legally if possible. I also know that I may be shit out of luck due to my past.)

Would always happen with me😂. Now I always keep a powerbank in my jeans.

If anyone can break it down step by step and any requirements needed feel free to list them out

Hello sub!! ♡ Going to PGI this year all the way from south FL for the first time for my birthday and im bursting with excitement!!! (Pun intended 🤣) Been a goal of mine for a lifetime and im so grateful to be living it! Im attending the entire convention week and taking every class I can get my hands on. Wanted to see if anyone else on here is attending? Would appreciate any pointers and tips you guys might have! Also would absolutely love to connect and make some pyro friends! (Literally dont know any other pyros or genuine enthusiasts where I live aside from my supportive family/friends and local stores 😭) What are your experiences? What are you excited for? Let me know all the things! ♡

They seem more negatives then positives

• They are dangerous
• They are Loud
• They are Expensive
• Dangerous to the environment
• Cause major injuries to either people or property
• Could cause fires

I mean we try and get rid of everything dangerous. But yet fireworks are still around despite being one of the most dangerous things

I have a neighbor who is a complete pain in the ass. Always has been. She complains that we don't tell her when we are going to shoot fireworks, and we ONLY shoot them on 7/4 every year. She says her dogs don't like it.

Because of rain in PA on 7/4 this year, I'm going to lite what didn't go off over Labor Day weekend.

What does the community think is the proper neighbor protocol (if any) to give people a heads up about an upcoming display?

Finally got my gasoline fireballs figured out.

Basically the title. Almost no fire works heard or seen before Fourth of July this year. Heard a decent amount on the actual date but not like previous years. Then not a sound days afterwards. Usually people are firing them off for weeks, but this time nothing. Not a peep.

They all stopped before midnight as well. They use to go until 2-3 in the morning in the previous couple years.

You all noticed anything near you? I live outside a major city so idk what’s going on?

Does anyone have tips and tricks for syncing music to your show? I will be using, primarily, 500g cakes and mortars. I already have an idea on the music, but I want to know about the mechanics of the whole operation.

What are the best 60g Max Load Cans?

I like neon diablos (black cat, have not lit off), growler shells (world class, have not lit off). Are there any other good ones? (I've heard black mamba, sonic shells, and excal plats are good is that true? Which one is the best and why?)

I purchased a lot of rockets to hook up to a electronic ignitor. I need a lot of tubes too. No shops in a 50 mile radius sell them. It's the tube where the wooden stick of the rocket goes in.

Could I use 20mm conduit pipe? Ai says no as it will blow up so I'm unsure

Sorry for the quality

Here’s a glimpse of this year’s show. If you’d like to watch the full 5 minute highlight video, you can find it here:

Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Are there any Idaho pyros up in here besides me. Looking for enthusiasts or a group to join.

Another Little Demo of some stuff i got for next years 4th. Turning my family into a family of pyros one night at a time.

Does badaboom do case pricing on 1.4p comets? Or am I stuck ordering form AWF or something? I don't really want to pay for shipping if I don't have to.

Got this one for $220. Stopped firing about 1/4 of the way, Lit the reserve fuse and it all went up in 20 sec. Let me know what you guys think!!!

First time ever being able to obtain and light one of these bad boys. I am now addicted. What do we think pyros, was it worth the $300 🫣?

Are they? If not, what are?

Howdy pyros, I’m in middle tn(no ship state) and looking to get pro cert. Are there any stores within 3-5 hours yall know of that carry pro line items. Wanted to see if it was worth getting the cert or not. Since I can’t ship. Prepping for next year spend about $1k - $1500 each year for personal use shows at home for 4th and new years. Looking to get more and better bang for my buck. Big Daddy’s in Tazewell TN seems to be the biggest, most talked about around here.
