Archive for the ‘1.3g rockets’ Category

Here in the UK we are quite lucky with the availability of large and powerful rockets. They are becoming the must have item in the UK at the moment and frankly, we have arguably the biggest and loudest available – the Sky Thriller Rocket.

Many of you may already be aware that we have a large selection of massive rockets with any number of effects, some of which with a double break but the best of our range at this time is Sky Thriller rocket. This was re-done for us in China and they have done us proud. It is bigger, louder, better and with a bigger willow/falling leaves effect than any other consumer firework – challenging the fabulous King rocket for its place – in the UK.

The old version is still available and is predominantly a silver burst which is still absolutely gorgeous but the new one is much bigger and better.

We have a huge array of rockets to choose from for any occasion from smaller garden rockets to those which are for display purposes and need a great deal more safety distance.

Our range of rocket packs starts from the 1.4g Sonic Bursts rocket pack (6 rockets) at a very reasonable £2.88 all the way to the Sky Storm rocket pack at £29.95 on to the single rockets like the 3 variety of Ball Head Rockets and 18 massive single rockets which range from the Smiley Face rocket to the double breaking Sky Force at £7.45 to the wonderful Stealth Bomber at £14.95. All of these prices are half the RRP and we have huge stocks of most of the range available.

So, if you are looking for rockets, come to see us at Epic fireworks and we are certain to have something to meet your needs.

One choice the buyer makes when deciding what fireworks to use is whether or not to go with 1.3G. This choice is quite a recent thing- legislative changes about 5 years ago saw the reduction of certain chemicals in fireworks and their subsequent reclassification. This short price is about why I choose 1.3G. This is of course not to say that 1.4G is always poor. Indeed, there is some nice 1.4G out there. But one needs to wade through a lot of dross as well. Is it really worth it when you know what you are getting with 1.3G?

One choice the buyer makes when deciding what fireworks to use is whether or not to go with 1.3G. This choice is quite a recent thing – legislative changes about 5 years ago saw the reduction of certain chemicals in fireworks and their subsequent reclassification. This short price is about why I choose 1.3G. This is of course not to say that 1.4G is always poor. Indeed, there is some nice 1.4G out there. But one needs to wade through a lot of dross as well. Is it really worth it when you know what you are getting with 1.3G?

1. You know what you are getting will be of a certain standard. 1.3G will contain an amount of flash-powder necessary for a decent sized burst, and a nice whack of volume to go with it. 1.4G may contain a bit of flash, or it may contain none at all. This could lead to a weaker burst, and pops rather than bangs.

2. Quality. 1.3G is increasingly becoming a premium brand- very few 1.3G items are from the “cheap and crummy” type range. You won’t find 1.3G at supermarkets, and you won’t find quality at supermarkets.

Essentially, those two points gel together – with 1.3G you know what you are getting will be of a high standard, and will tick all the boxes – volume, burst size and reliability. Exactly what you need for a successful display. Credit to the fireworks industry for bouncing back so strongly after quite hefty changes.

However, the biggest draw of 1.3G is what can be done in terms of rockets. 1.4G essentially hobbles rockets, to small, decent enough items with limited busts and volume. Not bad – there are some nice 1.4G rockets – but nowhere near the size and scope of some of the 1.3G items. The closest thing to professional shells bursts can be found in a 1.3G rocket- and you won’t need wire cutters of self-assembly sticks!
