Anyone else know about these?

Hazmat shipping more than doubles the cost but still <$2 each.

I seem to recall Aerotech ignitors being $9 for 3.

Howdy PreZBdeNt!

There is quite a bit of discussion over on TRF about them.
Pretty good reviews.

These look a lot like the e-matches that come with Cessaroni motors, just rebranded as BP ignitors.  Is that indeed true? If so, I also use them for dual-deploy.

I believe the heads are a lot smaller, but yes, they are an e-match. The pyrogen may be different also, for a slower burn as opposed to the "pop" of an e-match for ejection.
