+1 for the Quickburst product. I'd like to try the ping pong ball DIY sometime.
I mix black powder with ping pong balls and acetone. Makes a great pyrogen,

So why did they change the ignitors?
I'm glad have a bunch of the old ones around.
What size nichrome wire does Estes use?
I think regulations required them to not include any of the chemicals deemed dangerous in their igniters.

Adding some material collected off of common sparklers to the mix is a great addition to the pyrogen as well:headbang:Seconded on this... 4F BP.
