@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Sadly, your words of warning have arrived to late.... I have already dove down the rabbit hole at full speed LOL I am having so much fun with this hobby, and just enjoying it so much!
I love American! I did a few videos on American two years ago. Behind the Scenes @ American: ruclips.net/video/xzbnkRUIczo/видео.html Buying Wholesale Online: ruclips.net/video/RXOF86YHBGM/видео.html Retail Store Tour: ruclips.net/video/6LvY1Ye4BsQ/видео.html
Excellent video Joel, it is very difficult for me to stay out of American Fireworks being that I am only 1/2 hour from the place. The red ring blue bowtie is excellent 62mm firework from Dominator. The blue is very vivid in person. To all you Pyros out there, American Fireworks is a great company to work with and by fireworks. We are less then 2 months away. Thanks Joel as always.
Hey I go there all the time! Raccoon and wizard are amazing. The horse tails are amazing! Base shipping cost is $120. After 8 cases it goes up by weight. That's what Sabrina told me
Year before last my online 4th of July stash was 50% through AWF and 50% through another distributor. This year I did the same. Next year I'm going 100% with American Wholesale Fireworks. It doesn't make sense not to. 👍💥
The other thing you can do with American is add stuff to your order as they get in containers. They have a constant rotating inventory, so you could in theory add pieces to it before it ships from various arrivals.
I would like to point out another great way to obtain proline is to join your local firework club. BUT, I agree with Joel, American Wholesale is a great place to buy individuals! I know of only 2 other companies that even allow this. Great video here! It should also be noted that ALL of 1.4g Pro need an electronic firing method to shoot it.
I chose American because they recently added the application right to their website, so anyone can go check out what they are requesting. One of the things they ask on the application is if you have a firing system and what system do you have. That and you can buy multiple companies prolines from one shop instead of shopping around.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics I didn't realize that was on the form... lol. Good to know! Another great thing about companies like this, is sometimes they'll ship to an EVENT for free... just something to note for your viewers (and shameless promotion for stuff like PGI and Sky Wars).
I got a lot more Raccoon proline stuff that isn't shown in this video too. Should make for several great videos. I still need to get my hands on more Wizard pro though.
I love the video man. Awesome. Content great to show people how to do some knowledge. Good video Brother have a great day Joel, or almost at the Fourth of July brother.
Also just wanted to chime in, when stock was low, like a true gentlemen he cut back and saved some pyro for others … nice gesture for sure and not unnoticed,,back to the afw rabbit hole
I grew up in the burbs of Cleveland and would drive to Hudson every year for fireworks And the haunted house for Haloween back in the day! Amazing how Huge they are now! Great info vid btw!
So excited to start buying 1.4g Pro, taking the class soon hopefully. My local store actually just started carrying Racoon Pro which is a huge help in not paying shipping.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Yep they do! I'm waiting to see the prices on Pro but their standard 1.4g is priced very competitively to most online wholesale I've seen. And they sell singles for nearly the same as cases on most items. I'm definitely lucky to have them!
They really put you at ease through the whole process. I have just gotten my type 54 too and it is so simple to work with them to get my application and order approved.
I really want more info on exactly what I need to buy 1.4 pro line products, and what’s the easiest way of going about doing it. I’ve reviewed the application and you say not everything is required, but what exactly is required? What combination of things do I need? There are very few resources available on the internet that explain this.
If you have one of the following, most places are going to let you buy proline. 1) PGI Shooter's Course Certificate (probably the most common one) 2) Training from a pro company (call up your local display company and ask if they have an annual training you can attend. They are usually held in Spring though). 3) State shooter's license. 4) ATF Type 54 5) Some places will accept a pyro club membership. The PGI course is held at a lot of events throughout the year and is what I personally would recommend doing. Let me know if you need more info on that.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics yes please. I live in Louisiana and you would think with our laws being so relaxed there would be a plethora of local classes and such to take a safety or display operators course but I can’t find literally anything. At this point I feel like I should just go to fireworks stands and ask to speak to the owner to see if he’s in the know about how to do these things 😅 I’m willing to travel within reason. On PGI’s website I can only find the annual event and it’s pretty far away. I’d be happy to become a PGI membership and eventually make a convention, but until then it would be nice to be able to do some displays with the pro line stuff. Thanks in advance bro.
@@likwidhits9461 I'm not finding any documented upcoming classes. There are a lot of pyro events in August and I'm sure there will be training at the events. One that comes to mind that is closer to you is Mid States down at Hales in Buffalo, MO. There is also a Texas pyro club that might be worth looking into. I can't say for sure where in Texas they meet though, so it could be an hour from you or 18 lol. fireants.org/
Hey Joel, what is your opinion on Miracle? We got zip and zap last year as finale cakes thinking they’d be pretty cool but they were honestly a let down to us.
I haven't personally lit any of their stuff, so I don't really have an opinion. However, a lot of high shot count zipper cakes really aren't that impressive, so maybe that's all it was.
I see several other wholesale websites do not ship to NV either, so I'm guessing it is legality or permit-type reason. Like, you may have to have a physical location in NV to "import" or ship fireworks there. I don't know, but each state is totally different on a legal level.
The 62mm single shots are more symmetrical breaks, like you would find on a 3" NOAB. If you wanted the height, break, and symmetry of a NOAB, but wanted more control for a better price, those are the way to go.
62mm still have 60 grams comp. But they are a more symmetrical break. They also go higher than canister shells. They are mainly used for scripted shows and pyro musicals due to them having a Chinese time fuse instead of a visco fuse for timing. So it's more precise. 2.5 seconds lift to break +- 0.10 seconds.
@@Ohio_Hobbies_Guy that what I'm going to be trying next year instead of my normal Sky puke this will be my first year with an electronic firing device the next year I want to improve my show by being somewhat organized and planned
Go to their website and fill out the application for 1.4 pro. You'll see all the items they are asking for on the form, but they are not all required in order to purchase proline.
Well you need a license or they won't sell...I buy from 2 different places that sell it don't care. But how much cheaper is it to buy a license as well as buy it wholesale compared to buying it at store for more plus driving through tolls as well as gas. Do you have to go to depot to pick up or does it come to my house
Hey everyone. Join a pyro club in your area. My club shoots are a minimum 2 hour drive, but it's worth it. You will meet other members that are vendors or know vendors that give the club Class A or B wholesale pricing with no minimums.
Thanks for watching! You have to have some form of training or proof of competency. The form I mentioned has many things that may qualify you to purchase.

@@Cayro4597 That's awesome! I know of some guys in Serbia and Poland that are manufacturing cakes etc. Italy is known for all sorts of things, but honestly not sure how their consumer line goes.
I don't understand American Wholesale. Their fireworks are 2 or 3 times more expensive than Spirit of 76 or Red Apple. Do you have to spend $2,000 for your fireworks before their prices become competitive?
Yeah, anyone can get approved. The requirements may vary by vendor, but usually if you have some sort of training certificate, places will let you purchase. A lot of them will offer their own training to buy from them too.
It would be nice if all the 50 states or 52 Tuesday's can buy fireworks online year-round. But in some way and not many states have that same privilege
Yeah, it's totally different from state to state and it can be quite hilarious the laws too. Like not being able to buy from the state you live in, but you can buy from another state lol
Use to buy from them and use to get a Discount Then one time ordered from them And didn't get it Then their prices went through the roof So I found a better place Pyro giant😅

How do the 62mm single shots compare to a canister or ball shell that I can buy now
The 62mm single shots are more symmetrical breaks, like you would find on a 3" NOAB. If you wanted the height, break, and symmetry of a NOAB, but wanted more control for a better price, those are the way to go.
