I've been getting all my knowledge from Dave for years. He's the best person to learn from. When I need to go initiator to visco I cut a plastic straw down to 2 inches and it fits tightly over the initiator. Then I just put the visco in that straw and tape it. It's pretty much the exact same concept just a little bit more legwork but very cheap to do.
Thanks Dave, I bought me 2 packs with your promo code. I WISH I had this when I was connecting my strobes and some timed mortars for my pyromusical on the 4th instead of holding my breath on my taping job. All went off, but this just gives the peace of mind and less hassle!
Let us know how they work for you. I wish MJG had these before July 4th also. The ease of use will bring more novice users into wireless electrical firing.
License* it's really simple but it's not free. 1.can't be a felon 2.gotta go on atf website and print off type 54 license application 3.gotta get finger prints and a 2x2 pic plus 100 dollar application fee and mail it in and wait approx. 3 months and lastly just cuz you have a atf license does NOT mean you can buy 1.3 and light it whenever. You still HAVE to go to the city or municipalities in which you live to pull a permit to light 1.3 good luck lol
I like this better than talons. I still go directly into the lift charge but for some items I did use talons. For sure will switch to these over talons.
@@electricmatch1 I know this comment is old but that was gonna be my question. Sticking these into the lift charge or an eport? You think it’ll work? Should you cut the shroud down a bit?
I am looking at wiring up a pad on my flight controller to activate with one of the switches on my radio controller, what is the minimum Voltage required to light one of those matches? I want to be able to set off smoke/fireworks from a drone but be able to do it while its in the air already the the payload doesn't get used up before take off etc
That is exactly what my displayfireworks1 fireworks do. They have ports that allow those connections. czcams.com/video/fXvo-XD6si4/video.html But them here www.pyrotalk.com/df1-product-locator.php
I hope these work better than the plastic clips. Previous years I would use talons and would always have 1 or 2 that did not ignite. This year I bought mjg with visco clips and 7 cues did not go off including my finale. I was not happy.
Are you putting the visco in until you almost see it in the guide hole? We only see failures when it’s in too far. However this eliminates that issue. Just don’t put the fuse in all the way like dave mentions at the end of the video. However he didn’t have any issues, i think the .25” space is best.
I'm curious.. you mention you can cut the fuse on a mortar and put the wire into the tube. Since the wire doesn't dissapear as a fuse does when it burns, I wonder if that would ever bind a mortar from leaving the tube. And with that rubber tubbing on there if that got wedged between the wall of the tube and the mortar its self when it goes to leave the tube would it get stuck?? You should test that theory..
I quite often cut the QM of pro shells to a few inches above the shell and then insert the igniter as it prevents lots of paper being blown around on site. The ematch gets blown out at the same time as the shell so violently it is never going to jam, it happens way too quickly.
Have you looked into the Firefly firing system at all? I bought one for our show this year and is a really great concept, and is a small startup company. Would be interested to get your take on it!
Pretty expensive, hope that's just a "pre-production" price. I'd probably be fine with double the price of traditional initiators, since these aren't regulated, but not quadruple. Still, I'm glad someone's out there doing this. It paves the way for more companies to start manufacturing similar initiators, until this eventually becomes the norm for a consumer solution.
Just wanted to point out they're the exact same price as their firewire initiators for the same amount and length. You may have missed that as I did at first until I saw they were 10ft per wire.
@@tyler558806 It's been a while since I've bought regular e-match, but it shouldn't be more than $30 per x100. And that was retail, for just 100. I imagine buying x1000 or more should be even cheaper. You gotta remember, we're talking about pennies worth of material, here. I can understand this product being a little more expensive since this guy probably wants to capitalize on the lack of competition right now. It was similar for those alligator clip style initiators, back when everyone thought they would replace regular e-match. It looks like this new kind does have promise, though. But this price point isn't sustainable for enthusiasts... I can see one dollar per wire being an okay price in a retail store, for a guy who's only buying 20 or 30 per season.
WaxPaper price quantities will come. Remember these aren’t made in China. All the material is bought from American suppliers. The wire itself is .30 before it is even cut to 10ft length. Price online is based on consumers buying a box or 2. As a manufacturer we concentrate on moving pallets, so as it takes off it will move to distributors and be cheaper.

Great idea thanks for sharing 👍
I will be getting these for next year and for new year's. Thanks Dave.
That's pretty cool! Its amazing nobody came up with that idea sooner.
Salute from Youngstown Ohio to u Dave!
Great video Dave. Another Great product from mjg. I wish they where in all the firework stores.

Very cool, thanks Dave
Thank you for the promo code. I just placed my pre order.
One using Talons, the red tip igniters and now these. They all work great
I really like these
What shells do you recommend and where did you get your pyro lisence

Sweet. I'll be checking them out

you can still use these going into the lift, the flame projects foward
@@electricmatch1, I figured that. Just won't need talons anymore.

Good idea i hope they come out in other lengths and not just the 10 ft
They will, the feedback has been excellent. stay tuned...
This is neat, but I'll stick to taping the fuse to the inside of the shroud.
How would you get an instant fire , by using the other match that goes right into the powder by using the brass tool ?
Nice
So you can’t use these to go directly into the lift charge or into an ematch port?
That is exactly what my displayfireworks1 fireworks do. They have ports that allow those connections. czcams.com/video/fXvo-XD6si4/video.html

Maybe I missed it, but can this be put into a port as well? Maybe it has two firing options?

@@electricmatch1 Glad to hear it, keep it up!
do you have to expose the black powder? or just slide the visco on?
In all our testing and from what I saw from Dave’s video, cutting the visco is not necessary.
15 dollars for shipping 30 wires is kind of ridiculous though. I ordered them and cancelled as soon as I seen shipping costs.
Looks like MJG are discontinuing the Quickfire clips as of May 3 2021
Are the ends quickplugs or not?
they are not, but they will be in the future
Good stuff....looks like I'll be picking some up!!! 🎆🎇✨🧨
I will order some what do I do I didn't see the way to get your discount

I can't get the discount code to work
Make sure it’s a capital P in Pyrotalk1
