The pure compounds is exceedingly sensitive and even only 100 mg of the pure compounds gives a very loud boom. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TATER 10 Posted January 31, 2007 This is not some random pyro question I always wanted to know this. What is in snaps or drop poppers those little rocks wrapped up in paper that pop when you throw them against a hard surface, what makes them pop? I always thought that the active ingredient in poppers was a minute amount of nitrogen triodide 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
