Main Squeeze (TNT Fireworks) Demo 2024! REGISTER SPECIAL 50% OFF
This is a fountain that from my understanding is being discontinued and TNT decided to send it out with a “register special” deal at 50% off its original, and very overpriced price of $28.99
It’s not a special fountain, however it has a good duration and some nice red and gold effects. For the price its definitely a good buy as not a lot is better for that price.
Main Squeeze Retails for $14.50 at TNT Fireworks in 2024.
My rating: 9/10

Orchid (TNT Fireworks) Demo 2024!
มุมมอง 26321 วันที่ผ่านมา
A TNT classic! This fountain is one of the only fountains that has stuck around long term at TNT. A small tube of fairy powerful crackle. However, allegedly it’s time has come, and 2024 was its last year of production. This demo was lit from a board fused with magic whips. So the crackle before the fountain starts is not actually the fountain, it is the whips crackling. For the first time in 20...
Freedom Star (Freedom Fireworks) Demo! NEW FOR 2024!

New for 2024! This very unique fountain for California sure was flying off the shelves, but was the hype legit? I personally don’t think so, thought it was a unique fountain but that it was overpriced for what it did. Unless the price comes down I probably won’t be picking it up again.

All my connections worked but one of the whips burned out about halfway through and thus I had to reignite it to continue firing. Would’ve been better had that not happened but anyways it was cool to see these things go off in sequence. Definitely will try another one out next year!

Thank you Rando!
@@mattscaliforniafireworks You are very welcome! Keep up the great pyro passion my friend!
never liked it
Wrap needs a update lol but i like it
Great items
@@NWfireworksdude hope so 🤣
Hey man we go to the same Freedom stands. HA!
@@VeganBeerSnob that’s pretty good lmao
I did mine side-by-side this year, 2024, and the Kool Kat was much more vibrant, as far as color was concerned.
My Storm Runner was OG too.
This is not worth it. If I'm going to pay a premium for a flashing effect, I might as well waste my money on La Calaca. The ending is so anticlimactic, IMHO.
@@VeganBeerSnob absolutely agree.
You are right, costs more than it should. Sold out very quickly though, could not find one. Stands must have done very well this year, saw several empty and closed at 4 in the afternoon of the 4th. And they could stay open until 9.
@@starshell1000 i think they overpriced it because we were hyping it up pretty good when we found out it was coming to CA. That was before we knew the price. Definitely a better year for safe & sane that recent years but it’s still a shell of what it used to be
We had one of these from AZ for $20. I think $30 is bit much for it here at the California stands.
@@B-T619 i would pay $20 for it no problem just because it’s unique. $32 was too much
@@mattscaliforniafireworks yeah man, it's the same price as the Retro. I'd rather buy the Retro.
@@B-T619 I wish i had used the money i spent on the star to get a second retro. Holy crap i love that thing
#TNTMEEEEEEEE
Only the pressed powder on top is whistle mix. The loose stuff on the bottom is something they put to stop people from modifying them is what I was told
@@biigboto2886 i kinda figured that was what would happen but with how inexpensive these things are seemed testing this out was worth a try
he just got so scammed he’s probably never gonna buy fireworks again rip
that Retro went crazy matt, amazing finale!!
U should be ashamed disrepecting gavin newsome like that 😂
Hopefully Phantom listened to the complaints and Storm Runner stays good for as long as Phantom carries it. Great Show, but why was Freedom Star a disappointment this year for you?
Your storm runner looked tall and slimmer meanwhile my storm runner was a bit shorter but wider but I got the good crackle anyways
@@jr_farfan yeah it was awesome
Good Picks
@@VeganBeerSnob thought so too
I think Luminescence is 4 Tubes
@@VeganBeerSnob you are correct. I just noticed that, oops
I found a perfect example for ya of both kinds of rewrapping! ( I know, wrong video, im on my phone...) I got a give away assortment from a locally operated tent, for spending $200. Ironically, it was on their assorted case of fountains, lol. The tray is called Jackpot, and most items have their private label on them, plus a couple Top Gun items, so im guessing thats who actually makes it. Inside are 3 box fountains. White Lightning- which is a Large Friendship; and Wonderful. And The Gold Rush- which are both Golden Flowers rewraps. Wonderful is branded Top Gun, whilt Gold Rush had the Barely Legal Fireworks logo. I've also seen at least 3 different TNT versions, among many others. These are actually labelled for effect. I like both fx- i just wish they'd put MORE of it in the fountains. Of course, then they would no longer be dirt cheap...
@@pyroman6000 thanks! Love seeing your comments

"what the hell do you use cannon fuse for?" "My cannon"
Awesome that you got a good Storm Runner this year.

In socal TNT Fireworks stands are not open on july 5th can someone tell me why
@@anthonygarcia3306 this was a SoCal stand
Nice!✨
Unfortunately Fireworks aren't sold in California for New Years even if its known to be rainy which suppresses fires
@@Show-cv4tx Huuuuuhh?!! That's so dumb!!!
Be careful with that "Silent" fountain, mine exploded very nasty.
I’ll put a note on it to set it up further away from the audience than normal when it eventually gets lit…thanks
Where was this at??
@@Dankbassboy95 TNT stand that i saw open today
@@mattscaliforniafireworks right I was just trying to figure out where, in my area in Turlock the only thing open on the 5th is freedom

Matt what storm runner did you get I got the old stock one
@@jr_farfan i did in fact get the OG
@@mattscaliforniafireworks also did you demo flaring stars it wasn’t windy earlier
@@jr_farfan Yup!
holy crap!!!! $17 for a box of cheap HN series base fountains??? Do they at least buy you a drink, first? The Keystone tents by me sell them for a fraction of that... So does virtually every firework store that still sells base fountains. Theyre a good fun time staple item, for itch scratching or daytime fun, but thats about all. Not worth the price of a good multi-tube, thats for sure. I will say that some factories are actually putting in the effort to make these old school base fountains WELL again, and kudos to them. Speaking of hand helds, while I can't tell the size from your photo, Keystone also has a big one called Lightning Rod, which sounds similar- sold as a 4 pak for less than half the pirce of that single bazooka. starts as a firehose of golden sparks lots of them, and a powerful spray, then switches to a big red flare that lasts quite a while. I always grab at least 2 packs at any tent I go to, cuz I'm a geek for hand held items, and these are fun to light. Crown Jewel is $89.99 BOGO at the stores... $99 apiece? that hurts! I've had it and loved it, and still have the second. (several years old, so I don't remember the price) Loved New York Harbor, and Beast as well. I suspect we just have different tastes. I'm more into colors and pretty effects than crackle, and whistles i can do without being randomly included. (by itself, or in a pure noise item, great- especially for that one friend who HATES whistles, lol) I believe I also have Coral Reef, but haven't shot it yet. currently $65 BOGO in the stores. We do not have Freedom or DFS here, so I cannot compare the prices. Totally agree that the prices on your hatie list for them are outrageous tho. I don't shop at the TNT tents here, so nothing to add there.
@@pyroman6000 Phantom was previously selling these for $110 BOGO, steep but as you know they get a markup because the proceeds go to charity here. The problem this year is they just made them all single and everyone balked at them. I do love my crackle yes, but i think my favorite fountain effects will always be nitrocellulose globules or flying fish. Good crackle is certainly a staple though and nothing screams 4th of July like some big loud crackle! Crown Jewel and New York Harbor are by far the least objectionable of those finales. They are mostly there for the price. So Freedom is actually TNT doing business as Freedom/DFS. I’m not sure i mentioned that because I probably assumed that it was common knowledge in CA. But obviously not out of state. It’s basically TNT fountains for cheaper. They bought out the original beloved company and have thankfully chosen to keep at least some aspect of it around. It’s helpful but of course we all wish the original DFS was around. They had some amazing stuff from Black Cat, Winda, Brothers, etc. Now it’s all TNT fountains with a Freedom logo. Sad but we’ll take the price drops haha and they do in fact make some fountains exclusively for freedom which is neat. They all say the same thing on the bottom though “Made In China for American Promotional Events Inc (TNT)
@@mattscaliforniafireworks ah, okay. That sux for you guys - all of those brands you mentioned make excellent fountains. Keystone rewraps a lot of Winda for their tent items.
Do you guys have TNT's These Colors Don't Run? If so, run away!!! ZZZZZZZZ... a 500 gram fountain, that's just a bunch of low powered fountains strung together. Low powered, not much variety, and annoying awkward pauses, make it drag on and on. It doesn't offer anything you probably don't already have in your cart from buying the smaller fountains. (it just costs a lot more) We demo'd it at my friend's annual fireworks demo for their store. Every time she thought it was over, and would begin announcing the next item, it would start up again with another single tube. The next item was another 500g fountain from a local importer/wholesaler/retailer called Kellner's. THIS was more like it! High power sprays with LOTS of effect- it maintained a 12'+ diameter cloud of noise and sparks for it's entire duration. VERY intense! A collection of every kind of crackle the factory made- and lots of it. It got loud cheers from the onlookers- and a lot of people heading to the store to buy it, after. Urban Conflict was the name. It really was like a tale of two schools of thought about what a 500 gram fountain is. More of what fountains already do, vs something greater , that GRABS your attention.
@@pyroman6000 we sure don’t but i suppose that doesn’t rule out it coming in the future. We got a pretty boring (Probably not that boring though) 500 grammer from TNT called Candy Paint. The worst part is the price, 110 bucks for it! Sheeesh I think TNT got the idea for stuff like that from a company they acquired called red devil lol. Another user here, his name is starshell told me about the year Red Devil Fireworks came out with a Cone fountain called the California Humdinger. Come to find out it was literally a piccolo Pete stuck in some cardboard cone at a higher price LOL.
Always interesting to find out which items are copies, or near copies. It's important to note, however, TNT, Phantom, and many others don't MAKE the fireworks- they're importers. And most use the same big Chinese factories. For your Opening Show example, my best guess is that TNT, has some sort of exclusivity deal on that item- and as the biggest importer in the US, they have the buying power. And that's why others don't sell rewraps of it. Mostly, though, the factories just make fireworks. Order enough, and they'll put whatever label you want on it- they don't care, as long as the product moves. They'll also gladly make you custom designed items, or improved versions of existing items. As I mentioned on one of your other rewrap videos, this has everything to do with why it's confusing as hell figuring out what's what! lol. (and that's before you factor in factories copying other factories...) Keep up the good work! It's frustrating finding out AFTER you shopped several different places, that you bought several of the same item- all with different names.
@@pyroman6000 Thank you! That was the intention of this video and also to avoid paying more for an item than you should! Like i said, always really appreciate factory insight as well, it’s an interesting business all around and not just the entire playing with fire part
Not bad choices for those times when a low noise fountain is in order. Those can be hard to come by- esp in tents! Here in NY, a LOT of the fountains are full of really loud crackle. To the point of well- I wasn't expecting THAT! Could just be the microphone, but that was fairly low intensity crackle, compared to what I see. (there are so many different kinds of crackle these days...) It makes me wonder if it isn't different state regulations at play. You definitely AREN'T talking out your butt when it comes to rewraps. Most fireworks come from the same factories in China. They make items in big batches, then put whatever label you want on them. You can also get customized versions made to your specs, it just costs a bit more because it has to be fit into the production schedule. Take the ultimate example: TNT's Purple Rain. Same fountain is sold by Phantom as Moondance; by Fireworks Supermarket as Cool- ya gotta say it right!; and also under the Firehawk brand, under I forget the name, lol. Keystone Fireworks also has a version. Firehawk is a Chinese factory brand, all the others are US importer house brands. Even more confusing, many of these factories have several different brands of their own- and factories copy each other, too, lol. (how many different brands/names have we all seen of the giant ice cream cone shaped fountain lately? Winda first sold it as Snow Cone. Now EVERYONE has a version- both US importers AND other Chinese factories. Same for the fish shaped fountain, which I think was either a Brother's or Winda original- I've seen Koi Pond, Bad Bass, and several others.) When Pyro Universe and Pyro Review websites were still around, the forums had numerous threads every year about what was a rewrap of what. It was half the fun of the months leading up to the Fourth! In the above example, those 4 US brands cover most parts of the country- if THEY don't have a store near you, you probably do have a mom n pop that buys some stuff from one or the other of them. If not, then there's a fair chance somebody sells the Chinese branded version.
@@pyroman6000 I think that Kool Kat was a dud, there’s an older version of these two called Crickets with a lot more crackle. Thank you for the manufacturing insight. It’s always interesting to hear about that stuff. I would’ve sworn somebody else other than TNT had an opening show rewrap--need to go look for it now.
@@mattscaliforniafireworks I always liked Crickets- it was a good cheap fountain with a fairly long duration and good power for it's size. It was a staple for stores that bought wholesale from TNT, and readily available. I didn't know those were rewraps of it!
$8?!?! This was $2-5 years ago. This inflation scam is too much.
@@TotallySearch You do at least get 2 for 8 but yes it and a lot of other fountains have doubled in price.
@@mattscaliforniafireworks You're telling me dude, Snakes shouldn't cost more than $2 on a bad day yet they costed me $4 today.
Great Stash and Happy fourth of July, fingers crossed your Storm Runner is an older (good) one, because BeastLol did a demo of one recently and it had the Giant crackle.
