The M8 DIY Smoke Signal Training Device

The M8 smoke signal device is a cost effective, reusable, reloadable training smoke signal device that is designed for using pull wire igniters 

Big name brand smoke devices are limited in size and composition. Commercial/Consumer smoke devices are great for signaling and are fantastic products, however the volume of smoke is low.

The M8 Training smoke signal device is considered homemade. The components alone are not regulated by the ATF. When the components are combined, it must be used the day of construction. When a homemade smoke device is made it is a regulated explosive. Constructing a smoke device is for personal use only. Do not sell or trade a homemade smoke device.

If you decide to store finished homemade devices they must abide by ATF/DOT storage requirements along with all State and Federal Law. 

This is not legal advice. Consult an attorney.

Burning of potassium nitrate is toxic. See blow for Potassium Nitrate hazards.

 Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is a strong oxidizer and can pose various health and safety hazards. It can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract upon contact or inhalation. Ingestion of large amounts can lead to gastrointestinal issues, and it can interfere with the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity, potentially causing symptoms like methemoglobinemia. Additionally, it's important to note that potassium nitrate can intensify fires and may react explosively when mixed with certain reducing agents 

The Instant Deployment and Delta 8 series DIY products use pull string igniters you create yourself that activate using friction to ignite. NFE Brand pull string igniter kits offer a 95% success rate of igniting.
