Description

90 seconds of dense colored smoke. Wire-pull ignition — pull the ring firmly to the side (never straight up). Single top vent for sustained portrait clouds. Nine studio-grade colors on the proven 40mm platform.

The WP40 is the workhorse of the lineup — the longest burn in the 40mm family at a full 90 seconds, laying down a thick, even plume that's intended for outdoor use according to the printed product instructions.

Pull the wire ring firmly to the side (never straight up) to ignite. A single top vent gives sustained, controllable smoke for portrait work.

Ninety seconds is enough time for 30–50 usable frames in a fast-paced session — work your angles, adjust your subject, and still catch the plume at its peak.

WHY WP40

Everything you'd ask, answered.

Real output, no studio tricks — here's exactly what you're buying.

LONGEST BURN IN THE LINEUP

90 seconds to work the whole scene.

The WP40 runs a full 90 seconds — the longest burn we make. That's 30–50 usable frames per can, enough to adjust your subject, change angles, and never rush the shot.

SUSTAINED, EVEN SMOKE

Dense plume that actually fills the frame.

A single top vent meters the charge into a smooth, controllable plume — no thin wisps, no early burnout. Ideal for sustained portrait clouds.

Why is shipping so expensive?

Smoke bombs are federally classified as hazardous materials, so we are legally required to use a certified hazmat courier (FedEx Hazmat Ground) for every order. We don't control this rate — the carriers do, and we don't profit on shipping. We ship to the contiguous U.S. except Massachusetts. Alaska and Hawaii not currently available.

The best way to offset the cost is to order more in one shipment — orders over $225 ship free.

Where can I find the Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?

Official Safety Data Sheets (SDS/PSDS) for every smoke bomb we carry are available on our Safety & Compliance page. These documents include full chemical composition data, handling instructions, and emergency procedures — useful for venue approvals, insurance filings, or event permits.

Still have questions? Email us at hello@shutterbombs.com — we reply within 1 business day.
