I continue to have them simply "pop" with my Club's 12V launch system. I have them secured so that they stay inside the propellant grain, and I do bend the head slightly in order to make contact with the propellant. Wondering if dipping them in Magnelite pyrogen would help- but I don't have a 12V launch system to test it out (I'm substituting with a homemade Magnelite igniter after the Aerotech igniter fails, but I prefer to use the Magnelites for my large motors).
I'm always running a camcorder on my rockets, so a failed igniter can mean the difference between the camcorder having enough juice or not. Thanks!
