Unlike most modern Roman candles, the outer and inner diameters are significantly larger, and the first shot usually achieves a considerable height. Furthermore, they contain five colors, just like the originals, instead of only red and green.
It's been almost six years since the first batch of these classic Roman candles arrived. I wanted to produce a new batch the following year, but unfortunately, the factory did a sloppy job, and the first shots, like almost all other Roman candles on the market, only reached a distance of 1-2 meters. As a result, the product failed our quality control and would have had to be remade. However, the factory was furious and refused to produce for us again.
Therefore, I had to find a new factory. Unfortunately, the safety regulations for production have changed, meaning that only a very limited number of candles can be kept in the work area. Because we use five colors in rotation, this means we only use a few hundred grams per color, and during production, we constantly have to fetch new stars from storage and refill all the individual colors, which is too time-consuming.
As a result, we couldn't find a factory willing to produce Roman candles in this way for a long time. Most factories now just mix all the colors (usually only red and green) in one bucket, so the order in which the colors appear is pure chance. This isn't ideal, as you can get unlucky and, for example, fire the same color several times in a row, or a color might not be visible for ten shots, etc. Since the Chinese fireworks market is currently down, we finally found a factory willing to produce according to our specifications.
The result is quite good, and I think they are the best "normal" Roman candles on the market, with sufficient pressure even on the first shot. We were also able to improve the slow firing speed of the first batch, which had a burn time of approximately 38-40 seconds, to a more suitable 30 seconds.
The only issue is that the colors themselves are not of the highest quality and sometimes burn with a visible trail of combustion residue. However, this is because no truly reputable factory would produce such small items. This was also the case with the previous batch and is typical for this type of product.
Furthermore, the 20-shot version shown here was produced first and unfortunately has slightly less power when launching the stars than the 10-shot version. This is because we had to test extensively to achieve sufficient power from the very first shot, and unfortunately, this wasn't quite achieved in mass production at first. Therefore, after further adjustments, we were able to achieve an even better result with the 10-shot version. Nevertheless, even with this version, the stars shoot significantly better/farther from the very first shot than comparable products on the market, as can be seen in the video.
Furthermore, the stars still shoot significantly better/farther from the very first shot than with comparable products on the market. Of course, there has been some inflation over the last six years, and as described above, manufacturing has become more labor-intensive, which has led to a corresponding increase in the price of the item. Ultimately, however, you still get one of the few genuine Roman candles that are still enjoyable to use, at an affordable price.
