Yeah Vulcan items are well made items . As to where we shoot - We have a few places we can shoot , I own a large property in Quebec where I can shoot year round , another one of our associates also has access to property in Quebec and we also shoot off at a couple of camps usually for July 1 st .

Yeah - sometimes I save them sometimes we light them . I have a few in the vault that you can't find anymore mostly Brocks and Standard fireworks ie double air Bomb and triple air bomb. They were super loud and had either two loud bangs or three loud bangs timed 5 seconds apart .

As there was 14 of them - I will likely shoot 12 of them and keep 2 of them .

No Lumadue - I don't work for Maxpower Fireworks . I am a private contractor - no affiliation to any company .
They have just treated us right in the last few years - ie they know something about customer service . As well they carry what I am looking for at a reasonable price . I just noticed that they had that deal on and decided to point it out . As not all places are carrying the 9 big shot figured I would mention it . Save those that are going to shoot off the 9 big shot a buck or two .

I was not actually going by that section - I was going by what I had previously read on Pyrouniverse - Here is what they said :
What is the "loudest" (or most "powerful") firework I can get and where can I buy it?
In the United States, all 1.4G consumer fireworks must adhere to strict powder limitations. Ground devices such as firecrackers can only contain 50 mg of flash powder (the chemical that causes the "boom") per cracker, and aerial devices can only contain 130 mg. This means that all "loud" fireworks make about the same amount of noise, slight differences in which are only due to the device's construction. Any firework that is manufactured (whether intentionally or by accident) with a greater amount of flash powder is considered to be a 1.3G (display) device.
Bradley, Colin. Pyro Universe: FAQ
By that info our air bombs are stronger .

Yes We have tried that . For mortars we use plywood then attach some pegboard to that at a 90 Degree angle so like this __!__ Then use zip ties to attach the mortars to the pegboard . For cakes we use plywood with zip ties . Put two or three zip ties around the cake tighten then drill a few holes in the plywood put zip ties through the holes into the zip ties that surround the cake . Zip ties can handle the force exerted on them and clean up is a breeze . Just cut the zip ties when one is done with the show . We add a 2x4 under the cakes that we want angled out or if we are shooting mortars we can put them on any angle with the pegboard .

One of our guys reminded me that our Air Bombs would not be legal in the USA . Our regs say we can have up to 800 mg of flash powder , the American regs say the max allowed is 130 mg . Ours are 5x theirs .

As the title says we shot off :
Competitions Fireworks Brazilian multicolour peony ( retails $8.99) - BUY IT !! Shoots a shell to about 100 feet then huge burst of multicoloured stars . Video of it does not do it justice .
BEM - Gold Palm Cake - BUY IT , Another winner (retails for $35.99) - is similar to the old one a few seconds faster , bursts are large and loud .
BEM - Brocade Crown - BUY IT, Another winner (retails for $35.99) - similar to the old one , timing seems to be the same , Bursts are large and definitely loud - echoed around the lake that it was shot at .
Hands - Orion cake - ($29.99) - was ok , a bit fast with multiple shots each time .
Hands - The Prophecy- ($37.99 ) - was ok - a bit slow for my tastes - shoots red and green comets .
Hands - Eyeconic - ($15.99 ) - was ok , nice colours and fairly decent pace .
BEM - Red peony with tail - WINNER - ($5.00) - Shoots a shell to 100 feet with a Large burst of red stars . We always have a load of these in our shows .
BEM Colour Peony - Winner ($5.00 ) - Shoots a shell to 100 feet with a large burst of multicoloured stars - again we have a load of these in our shows .
BEM - Silver Palm - Winner ($5.00) - shoots a shell with tail to 100 feet that bursts with silver palm . Great if you shoot 5 of them fanned out at once .
Vulcan - Storm Warning - ( $10.99) Winner - shoots a gold mine with crackle to 75 feet .
Vulcan Blue Ring with white strobe pistil -($11.99) Winner - shots a shell to 100+ feet that bursts into a blue ring with a strobing center .
Royal Facebomb - Excellent item , loud breaks vibrant colours .
Royal - Cowboy - Excellent item - love the stobing effect in it , loud breaks , vibrant colours .

No Your not the only one . I started on planning on our July 1st 2015 shows last year on July 5 th . ( Had a show on July 4th to do first ) Going over what worked and what I would do differently this year as well as buying items that were not readily available . Still working on it - Trying out some of the new items , watching video , seeing who has what items on their lists . Stocking upon talons , and zip ties , peg board , making new firing boxes for some Brazilians we will be adding to a show . It goes on and on .......
