Damn, nice prices for the 5 packs! Will order some "burst" orange ones. Have they changed the name from "burst" to "twin vent" on them yet?

Any possibility of bringing the Enola Gaye MIL-X smoke grenades in?
What is the expected shelf life for these? (storage longevity)
From the manufacturer:
I lit off some WP40 model ones last year (pic below) that were in their original shrink wrap from Dec 2015 and they worked good as new, so I would say at least 4 years. If you plan on storing them for a long time I would check that the shrink wrap (under the protective cap/over the vent hole) is in good condition. If not I would replace it with clear packing tape. WP40/wire pull model smokes have a single velt hole, "burst"/twin vent smokes have two.Originally Posted by EG
At 5 mins 53 seconds in THIS VIDEO you can see damaged shrink wrap. To fix it you remove the existing damaged shrink wrap and carefully remove the cardboard EG logo disc (it's stuck down with a single drop of glue only in one spot). Shake the smoke upside down to remove any dust/loose powder from the inside. Clean the cardboard disc and lip of the smoke so they are free from dust (just wipe them off). Apply a very thin coat of wood glue around the lip of the smoke and press the cardboard disc back into place. It helps to place something heavy on it while the glue dries (dictionary works well). Once the glue is dry cover the cardboard disc with packing tape then using an xacto knife or scissors trim the tape to match the round shape of the smoke.
Happy Family Day and safe smoking!
