New member from PA

Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I have been a firework fan since I was a kid, and have been progressively putting bigger displays together over the last ten years or so. I've used a couple cheap e-fire systems in the past, but have largely fused my show together. I finally decided to make the jump to a Cobra system and take it to the next level. I look forward to learning from all of you and taking my hobby further.

Welcome to the Forum. What part of PA are you located in? There are a lot of pyros in PA.

Thanks Joe, I'll help this new fireworks enthusiast along because I am a little familiar with his situation and it may be typical of other advancing fireworks enthusiast. First off he is located on the eastern part of Pennsylvania in Kellner Fireworks territory, LOL. Secondly, apparently demand for these Cobra Systems is so high at the moment there is now a wait and back-order. I can't speak for Cobra but apparently if you try to purchase a Cobra System today you are going to have to wait a bit until it ships to you. With the recent secondary United States pyro holiday "New Years Eve" that just passed , it stimulated the pyro spirit in fireworks enthusiast. Many of these advancing fireworks enthusiast are following some of my videos, purchasing my ATF and/or Articles of Pyrotechnics education program etc. They may have watched my recent 2 minutes New Years Fireworks videos and/or realized its time to move into electrical firing of a display. a shorter in duration and more of focused fireworks display.

On a side note, it is great because this advancing enthusiast posted what some of my research has confirmed. Without going into too much boring detail, the typical ADVANCING user , goes first,into the long fuse and tape, then the talon's and then the import systems. Why do they pick the import systems? To experiment and still try to keep their same budgetary constraints. Now we have supply chain issues and regulatory issue's with fuse and electric match etc. I probably need to make a video to explain it all because I do not want to type 60 paragraphs. LOL In short, the future of the ADVANCING backyard fireworks enthusiast has never been brighter. The equipment, education, and product availability is out there for you, it currently just takes a little extra effort on the part of the advancing fireworks enthusiast.
