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.
@@ryanr1639 thank you for the recommendation I'll definitely check them out! I did want to include the EG mil-x but I wasn't going to buy one and pay the $30+ for shipping. Maybe once I can get a sponsor.
Mil x would be cool to see. Haven’t ordered any myself yet. I believe it’s by phone and requires more hoops to purchase, but hadn’t looked into it much yet.
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.
@@HaydenHKD You're responding to a two year old comment dude 🙄. 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.
@@TheModularDiver I can read. Thank you. It is still a replacement none the less. It’s not that sleazy. There is a chance any ordinance may not fire. It’s implicit and by nature. Don’t be a turd.
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 just found your channel witg the flashback video and I got to say you deserve more subs. Thanks for your personal but to the point videos and giving transparent descriptions of the products. Keep it going and thank you.
100% agree. That's why I was so surprised in the flashbang video when I tossed the taginn. I wouldn't have guessed it would be louder than the more expensive one.
I've been using Enola Gaye products for about a decade never had issues with them unlike some other brands, according to a buddy who does lots of cinematic pyrotechnics they're excellent value as well as being safe enough for airsoft and paintball when others about the same cost are banned
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.
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. Good content, you could trim the fat a bit on intros but I am not at work and have time to listen. BZ.
Thank you for your service! GoPro customer service it amazing, my camera was just hit by a ricochet. Went straight threw and completely destroyed the serial number. I sent GoPro a pic and are sending me a new one for $100 per their zero questions asked camera replacement warranty. Now that is amazing customer service!
I am not a service member, my only experience with war being airsoft or video games. But I would hate having a dud frag or smoke when I need it the most, IE under heavy fire. I get that its a fact of life, but this is what quality control is for.
Not being a tactics snob but just FYI proper positioning of the spoon while pulling the safety pin prior to deployment would be in the palm/webbing of the hand and not at the fingers.
Looking to make my first smoke grenade purchase, and appreciate this video, very much! IWA will definitely NOT be my go to supplier! Thanks again for this video!👍👍👍
anyone know what the life is on the EGs. when we use to train way back when i used regular fireworks stand bought smoke bombs, i would tape 2 or 3 together, put out lots of smoke and some flames, we had to be carful of the flames. the problem was they only lasted about a few years in a ammo box. about 1/2 would just flame with no smoke
When I order mine this payday I'm going to store them in mylar bags with oxygen abosorbers to keep out light, air and moisture. I do that with all my gas mask filters. It should significantly increase their lifespan.
Good video. Have to say It’s an interesting approach to disclose some names and cities of other customers to make a point about how pissed these same customers should be to have their names and addresses disclosed in the packing sheet.
I bought one at a gun show that had an expiration date I was expired that burned for 5 minutes.. I paid like $20 for it long time ago like 10 or 15 years ago.. It was for a boat or a ship or something signaling device it would burn in water.. And it would get real hot I threw it in the wheelbarrow on the 4th of July.. I was so impressed with it I wish I would have bought more
Iwa says 2 years from date on their sticker. Enola gaye doesn't have one. Going to do another comparison of enola gaye mil-x smoke to both of these. Should be uploaded within next two weeks
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.
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!
He didn’t mention it in the video but look at the comments he did got his money back from them for the dud device. I think you right about color option.
They should do wholesale pricing if you have to buy three of each item there’s a couple places I order from that do the same thing for embroidered patches with a minimum of 100
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
Nope, but they did change their purchasing policy about a month after my video was uploaded. They could have at least left a comment on here but haven't
Thank you! Recently order the enola gaye mil-x which puts out more smoke, has a fly off lever etc. Hope I can do a quick comparison soon and upload that too.
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.
From your videos you've spent a decent amount of money with IWA and potentially more. You'd think the company knowing this would just eat the $40 to send you a replacement unit. To potentially loose a customer that's already spending money over $40 isn't great business practice in my opinion.
I was already disliking them but when you said two pages of other customers names and addresses. Avoid them like the freaking plague! I'm a very forgiving person but my goodness
I agree with your sentiment regarding having to buy 3 of a kind, but I'd like to suggest you get an Oryan flare/smoke combo signal for REAL emergencies.
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
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
@@Captain-Electro oh damn lol I read IWA and thought it was the flashbang one. I talk way to much in that one but hey I was really new to making video and yt.
I know I know but thanks for watching. Will be doing a review of these two plus the enola gaye mil-x which is more similar to the IWA but bigger and more smoke.
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 Great videos, you got a new subscriber in me, look forward to future videos
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.
@@CivilianWarrior oh hallelujah I've missed my TAGinns, the few I have left now I only use in much needed situations ( airsoft) like clearing a fortified structure. 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
EG67s are super quiet, just had one go off 2 feet away from me yesterday and I was like, "Oh ok". Where as with Taggs, that shit has made me jump and actually reconsider some decisions haha. Tagg is probably the best one time use distraction device out there right now.
Idk if anyone else has said this, but I guess iwa listened to you. It’s 3 smoke/bangs total. You can buy one smoke, one thermal, one distraction or whatever. Still almost twice the cost of 1 eg though.
obviously iwa as a company are far from professional. plus they over charge for everything. 10% off is a slap to the face imo and there is absolutely no excuse for sending out personal info of other customers..
I didn't give out their addresses, just name, city and state so they too can know their info was leaked. Wouldn't you want to know if I was given your personal information by a company? Would you rather I say nothing so the company can keep being negligent with personal information?
Which of these two would you prefer to buy? Let me know in the comments.
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.

Seems like IWA smoke time was longer then Enola Gaye and it was duel vent.
Btw did IWA refund you your money?
Correct and yes they did refund me $35 for the device but nothing for shipping and they refused to just replace the one smoke device like I wanted.
Nice to know who not to buy from if I ever need smoke.
Thanks brother the comment. Still new to yt and learning as I go. Won't be rambling as much on future videos.

Have you tried Shutter Bombs? They have several different types of colored smoke and seems to be cheaper.
That company just resells enola gaye devices at a discounted price
Civilian Warrior I was thinking that could be the case… saw similar ones online but did not price shop. Dual exhaust smoke should fill space better.
Theyre just the mini/15sec burn time Enola Gayes
i've been happy with the EG
I agree
They should do wholesale pricing if you have to buy three of each item there’s a couple places I order from that do the same thing for embroidered patches with a minimum of 100
Sure there are failures or duds in military exercises but it doesn't come out of the soldier's pay.
Read previous comments he did get his money back on the dud device!
Ive thrown a couple hundred smokes in the army and never once had a dud
(right, it comes out of us taxpayer's pay)
Good point
From the drone view the IWA doesn't seem worth the expense.
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
Have you tried Shutter Bombs? At about $10.50 per smoke, seems to me that you could carry a lot more and use them more often.
Try the enola Gaye mlx
Totally agree
nice shot of mission valley.
I'm not confirming or denying I live there..
Thanks!
100% agree with IWA changing that
You should have set up the camera to face perpendicular to the wind. Kind of hard to judge the difference when all we have is a red screen on both.

design dont mean shit if it doesnt work. haha
Wow that was a great video on product quality. People probably thought it was a gender reveal in the neighborhood.
Their smoke and bangs are considered hazmat. Which kinda makes sense

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.
@@CivilianWarrior oh hallelujah I've missed my TAGinns, the few I have left now I only use in much needed situations ( airsoft) like clearing a fortified structure. 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
EG67s are super quiet, just had one go off 2 feet away from me yesterday and I was like, "Oh ok". Where as with Taggs, that shit has made me jump and actually reconsider some decisions haha. Tagg is probably the best one time use distraction device out there right now.
I would mail a letter to all the customers addresses and let them know. Could be a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Good idea!
Idk if anyone else has said this, but I guess iwa listened to you. It’s 3 smoke/bangs total. You can buy one smoke, one thermal, one distraction or whatever. Still almost twice the cost of 1 eg though.
Haha yeah you're the first to say it! I did notice they changed it a few months ago, when I was thinking of trying their multibanger options.
Good video! I will never order from them!!!
Patriot gear smoke is the way to go!!! If they're in-stock Lol
Oh damn I just saw their site, thank you for letting me know about them!
I'm from otay lakes area lets do some training some time
Thank, I think I will be switching away from IWA.
Should be getting some enola gaye mil-x smoke grenades soon which out out even more smoke than the EG18X. Hope to upload another comparison soon.
obviously iwa as a company are far from professional. plus they over charge for everything. 10% off is a slap to the face imo and there is absolutely no excuse for sending out personal info of other customers..
ARE YOU LEGIT? I was told I was selected a winner for a P365 XL Spectre.
What? My account seems to be getting a lot of spam comments, something similar has been happening to the 1911 syndicate guys too. Sorry about that.
I agree about IWA. What if a person wants to buy one to try the product? Greedy.
Why did you just dox those other guys?
I didn't give out their addresses, just name, city and state so they too can know their info was leaked. Wouldn't you want to know if I was given your personal information by a company? Would you rather I say nothing so the company can keep being negligent with personal information?
Did you talk and asked IWA why they did it?
@@mister.t5865 they just apologized on the phone
Yea but did you ask what was the reason ? Must be a reason
