nshmel 0 #1 June 8, 2009 Where do you guys get it? I have done a search and the only place I can seem to find it is on Paragear for 19$ bucks a pop + 30$ for shipping to commercial addresses only.. wtf? Are there any ways around the commercial adressing issue.. and anywhere that its cheaper? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erdnarob 1 #3 June 10, 2009 Try the Internet. Remember however that smoke canister with white phosphorous is prohibited for jumping. What I find which works better with a more dramatic effect from the spectators is jumping with one or more 30-40 feet bright color tapes of 1.5-2" wide. You can roll it or them and they will take very little place under your jump suit. You can attach one end to your chest strap and when open, you unzip your jumpsuit and throw away the roll of tapes. Be careful to land at such a place in order to avoid any tape snagging on an obstacle. Have also a way to quick release the tapes. The beauty of that method is you can use the tapes again. Any fabric store will provide you the material to do so. You will have to cut the material into tapes and you can attach them with a simple knot or stitch them together. Smoke is very dirty for a parachute and can cause a burn (hole) in your canopy at landing. A friend of mine got the smoke canister rebound in his canopy at landing and burned a big hole in it.Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.

voodew1 0 #5 June 21, 2009 Google --- superior signal company and buy it direct from them - the professional skydiver smoke (which is not advertised is pretty bad ass) - last about 6 minutes - costs about 30 each plus the hazmat charge --- suggest buying by the case as the hazmat charge is not per canister but per case Best way is to get friends to buy at the same time and split the order Superior Signal company makes what Paragear sells --- and its fresh ----- seal unused smokes in a zip lock bad or something to keep it dry or they will go bad The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
