Flash Powder (salute) Comparison Pt.2

Here we are testing some new flash recipes, as well as re-testing some from the last video with a better microphone.

Warning! It's dangerous to blindly jump into the production of flash powders. Read deeply into many sources before attempting to mix any flash recipes! I am not an expert, this video and description is for reference only. It may contain errors and should not be used as a solid guide.

All crackers are in M-80 style tubes fired at 50 feet. All but one set of salutes are using 1/3" hot glue plugs, and leaving a 1/4"-1/3" air pocket in the tubes to help prevent blowout.
Note: hot glue plugs are not recommended for ground salutes, as they can become projectiles.

Time stamps in order of quietest. (Best of two)
8th 98.5db 0:08 Standard Firecracker
7th 98.6db 0:48 2 Grams FFF BP

5th 109.5db 2:52 3 Grams 70% KCIO4 / 30% Al (Paper Caps)
4th 109.8db 4:10 3 Grams 70% KCIO4 / 30% Al (Hot glue Plugs)
3rd 110.2db 6:02 (Jeff's) 3 Grams 64% KCIO4 / 26% Al / 10% Sulf
2nd 110.4db 1:21 2 Grams FFF BP + 1 Gram 70/30 (KCIO4, Al)
1st 111.2db 1:50 3 Grams 50% kno3 / 30% Sulf / 20% Al

Flash recipes

Note: I think Jeff uses his in larger salutes... here I'm oly testing M-80s

---Conclusion---
I'm only speaking about my thoughts on the flash when used in M-80 sized crackers. These thoughts do not carry over into larger salutes. Quality of chemicals, as well as mixing techniques can effect the results.
8th a simple firecracker for control.
7th fun to make and relatively safe.
6th Can't justified using Sulfur in small salutes.
5th By far the simplest to make. Solid performance!
4th Plugs are not needed, within margin of error to 5th
3rd If you must use sulfur, this salute is solid!
2nd (Favorite) Surprised me, saves on flash, makes you feel proud!
1st This salute had more feel than sound. Chest Thumper, Bass
