Frequently Asked Questions
What colors come in the TP40 'Merica Pack?
Every pack is an even mix of Red, White, and Blue TP40 top-pull smoke grenades, sold unwrapped so you pay for smoke, not packaging. A 6-pack is 2 of each color, a 12-pack is 4 of each, an 18-pack is 6 of each, and so on.
How many smoke bombs are in each pack?
Choose from 6, 12, 18, 24, or 30 TP40 smoke grenades, always split evenly across Red, White, and Blue. Buying in depth lowers your per-can cost — and the 18-pack ships free, since orders of $225 or more qualify for free hazmat shipping.
What's a top-pull smoke grenade?
TP40 uses top-pull ignition. Wire-pull models use a side-pull ring. Read the instructions printed on your specific device before activation. Never hold a device while it is producing smoke.
What if a smoke bomb doesn't work?
Every product is 100% guaranteed. If a smoke bomb is faulty you choose: store credit at 1.5× the unit price (auto-applies at checkout, never expires) or an exact product refund. Note: shipping costs are not refunded for individual product claims — the guarantee covers product cost only. Email help@shutterbombs.com with subject Guarantee Claim – Order #XXXX + a photo/video. Processed in 1–2 business days.
How long does each TP40 last?
Each TP40 burns for ≈ 60 seconds of dense colored smoke — enough time to work the scene. Need longer? The WP40 runs ≈ 90 seconds. Need a quick dense burst? The Twin Vent II dumps its charge in ≈ 25 seconds from both ends.
Are your smoke bombs safe to use around people?
These products create dense colored smoke and become hot during operation. Use outdoors only, avoid breathing the smoke, wear gloves, keep away from people, animals, and combustible materials, and follow the product label and manufacturer instructions.
Will the smoke stain my clothes or skin?
Colored smoke may mark clothing, skin, or nearby surfaces. Wear gloves, follow the printed placement instructions and keep people clear of the smoke, and avoid direct contact with the smoke. Follow the product label and manufacturer instructions.
Can I use these indoors?
No. Use outdoors only. Do not use these products indoors or disable smoke or fire alarms. Choose an open area away from buildings, dry vegetation, and combustible materials, and follow local rules.
