What's the best/cheapest place to order racks?

I was looking at pyroboom and they have some solid looking racks that dont seem crazy expensive. Is there any better alternatives that anyone has found?

Just curious how 1.4pro stands against 1/1s lol

Can 1.4pro stand up to the crazy 1/1 videos i see all the time? Also anyone know at a price point which is better? Just curious lol ive never shot either but someday hope to try both 😅

First time efiring last night. That bilusocn is awesome!

First time with the bilusocn system last night and it made a massive difference! I had 36 cues with some of them running dual talons or triple firewire igniters depending on what I was lighting and it is addictive 🙂 there were a couple small delays where I had a cake catch fire and a bad connection but other than that it looked so much different than I could have even imagined. This is the way 😆

Feeling pumped up to light the stash!!

We shot a pure venom shell, some fountains and a couple small cakes the other night and it was awesome. Those pure venom shells smack! 😄 also i did a pre-run with the new bilusocn system and igniters. It was 8 for 8 everything went off as planned even running a dual talon in parallel and a triple firewire igniter in series. Feeling good about my homemade show!! Thanks to everyone for the advice and I'm hoping we all have an awesome and safe Big 250!!! Its almost go time people!! ⏲️ 🎆 🎇 😁

Can you install firewire igniters early?

Just wondering if you can poke and install firewire connectors and safely store them until the 4th? Of course I wouldnt plug them in to anything except the cake lol this is my first year using efiring and I want to get started just didn't know if it would be unsafe to store them like that.

Any tips for a first time bilusocn owner?

I bought one with 9 recievers so I have 36 cues. I also bought 50 talon igniters and a bunch of NiMH AA batteries to use with it. From what I've read it's OK to fire 2x talons on a single cue? And also I have a lot of action happening for my finale.. I'm running catcalls 500g fountain with wildcard 200g just to start it and then dropping max load 38 compound cake with amazing ballet sweeping underneath all at the same time lol is firing all of these in a near simultaneous fashion gonna be a problem? I plan to ignite all with separate cues except for wildcard and amazing ballet but it will be pushing buttons pretty quickly lol

Anyone familiar with king of bombs and mother of all bombs?

I can kob for 40 and moab for 80. Is it worth paying twice as much to step up to moab? I love the nishiki effects 😄 if king of bombs is nearly identical tho id rather spend that extra 40 on some more cakes haha

Anyone have experience with these?

The description says it shoots up to 160ft but their own videos show it breaking at 50ft. I got it super cheap and it looks really nice but im a bit concerned about basically a 2 inch noab breaking at 50ft lol is this normal 🤣

Got a good stash today now we just wait lol

We had to make some cuts and buy on a budget this year but I think we knocked it out of the park for 1k. Super excited to try these max loads and the pure venom shells!

How does everyone feel about consumer zipper cakes?

I feel like I shot midnight a couple years ago and was surprised at how loud each shot was but zippers seem to not very popular with the fireworks community at least on YouTube lol I can get megawatt, midnight and major combat for about 90 a piece. Are they worth the hefty price tag? I can buy a case of 500 gram cakes for that much.. I'm kind of on a budget this year and wanna make sure everything I get is worth the money 💰 are zippers a dud in comparison to normal cakes?

Question about low shot count cakes

I was thinking of getting 500 gram cake set called american spirit show. Its 3x 500 gram cakes and all 3 have just 8 shots. Does that mean the 8 shots will really pack a big punch? I mean at a price point I can buy all 3 cakes for about the price of 1 moab. Are these cakes basically a cheap moab? Lol
