      I would choose EG.
      Also I do recommend you check out the battlefield smoke by sport smoke. Still 25.00 per smoke, but required minimal 4 pack. Although they burn a lot longer and put out more cubic ft of smoke. They do add shipping costs into the pack when you add it to cart. I believe it’s around 150 total.

    This video is enough for me to know to avoid IWA. If you, paid for your items with a CC I would dispute the charge to equal the amount of the single dud unit. That's ridiculous to force a customer to have to purchase more items just to be made whole.

      It's not a replacement when you have to purchase more product for you to be able to get the "replacement". That's a sleazy "to get this [item], you have to buy that [item or items]" sales tactic.

    Pro tip for the Enola Gaye, shake em a bit once the fuse goes off. It will cause the chain reaction faster. you can also cause the chain reaction with a 2nd Enola Gaye if you happen to pull the entire fuse out when trying to light the first one. Lots of fun at airsoft events!

    I agree with you on IWA. Enjoy being able to choose the amount I want to purchase. Not each paycheck can be used for a big bulk buy of a set qty. Also saw ansgear sells EGx smoke and changed it to where you had to buy set qty of 10.

  • @gunnersecuador7515
    @gunnersecuador7515 2 роки тому +65

    In my opinion even though the burn time was shorter on the EG, it appeared to have a better burn rate, which results in a denser cloud. That, is the whole point of a smoke, to mask movement, or mark a position etc.
    I agree with you on IWA, they should have eaten the costs and replaced the item at their cost. That would speak to customers as to what kind of company they are. However, duds are fact of life. Mr. Murphy is always watching and will intercede whenever possible, it is what it is. Over the course of my 22+ years on active duty I have, myself chucked several dud grenades' as well as smokes . Shit happens, grab another and let'r rip.

    Maybe it's the TECC/TCCC training but.... why would you be manually clamping an artery with your hand? If you're that far out you should have, at bare minimum, a TQ on hand and preferably an IFAK, just in case.

    • @CivilianWarrior
      @CivilianWarrior  2 роки тому +1

      I have a lot of TQs but arteries aren't just in spots where you can apply a TQ. Like the inferior gluteal artery that runs up and over your left hip or the interior epigastric artery. Or along the neck. In the end TQs can also fail. Having smoke doesn't cost much, weights next to nothing and can't hurt to have for other unknown reasons we have failed to imagine

    I agree with you, I would order more from IWA if you could mix things up and there wasn't a 3 minimum. I don't understand how their marketing team thinks this policy will make them more money?!?! Many times with products, I want to try something out to decide what I want a multitude of, rather than being stuck with something I don't need three of! Change this IWA! You'd get more business, regardless of what you think!
    IWA, you owe him a replacement, on your dime! On that note, I won't be using their products anymore if that's how they do business! I'll go out of my way to do business with a company that treats me right, but if not, I'm the type of person that is just done with said company!

    IWA has stupid shipping requirements (3 or more of the same products, no mix-matching), stupid shipping procedures (shipping lists of customer names/addresses to each buyer), and less dense, slower acting smoke...
    And thats if we ignore the dud (which, if you were on a hike and only had one with you for emergencies... You are screwed).
    I think you should try out the TAGinn smoke grenade (tag18), it supposedly burns from both ends to quickly create a really dense cloud.
    $128 for a 6-pack ($21.33 pre shipping) so it will be cheaper per unit than the IWA to boot, only a little more expensive than the Enola Gay

    Hey brother, props for calling out this careless company, I just wanted to let you know that if you are mentioning the city along with the first and last names of these people, any bad actor could now easily find their addresses.
    I don't see a situation where you would need to do this again, but if you did I would recommend just using the first name and the state. A lot of cities may officially only have low 10,000 of people, but even larger cities like Scottsdale are still small enough that if I have their name I could probably find this guy on Facebook by looking at my friends from ASU who airsoft in northern Phoenix / Scottsdale.
    Just remember that even though there might be thousands of people with the same name across the US, a state is roughly dividing that number by 50, but a city is diving that number by roughly 3100.

    • @CivilianWarrior
      @CivilianWarrior  2 роки тому

      Agreed, customer service comes into play when something goes wrong. Not when you place an order and get it on time. That's just them doing what they are supposed to do lol. GoPro customer service is amazing. I won't say what I did to my brand new camera but it was clearly my fault. I didn't think they would ever replace my camera for the $100 fee they usually charge. Well, they are replacing it for free! They didn't even ask me to pay for the shipping label for me to send the damaged camera to them or for the replacement. Now that is great customer service!

    From the looks of it, the enoyla gay obviously worked better, because it actually worked….but i almost think you got more smoke out if the enoyla as well.
    To be fair, wind plays a big part of it, so it may just be that

    • @CivilianWarrior
      @CivilianWarrior  2 роки тому

      True. Still waiting on my order confirmation from a purchase I did on black Friday. Might have enola gaye mil-x which has a spoon etc so more similar to IWA. If I do get them, I'll do another comparison and use the last IWA smoke I have

    Between this video and the distraction grenade video I'm personally gonna avoid IWA as well, I do both airsoft and shooting, and although TAGinn is having a hard time right now ( Russian Company getting hit by the sanctions because of Ukraine war) Enola Gaye also makes an frag/sound grenade that emits a very loud bang ( IMO it's equivalent to the IWA grenade in terms of boom ) called the EG67

      Thank you, much appreciated! I'll have to look up the EG you mentioned. I was able to speak with Taginn, they shut down all Russian plants and moved everything to Latvia. As of two weeks ago and per taginn, they were seeking US approval to export/import their products again to the US within two months.

And yeah the EG 67 is a good little grenade, be advised though it does not have a spoon so as soon as you pull the pin, toss it because it has a 3 second fuse
