Everything you'd ask, answered.
Real output, no studio tricks — here's exactly what you're buying.
The 40mm platform, priced to stock up.
The WP40-D delivers a full 60 seconds of dense smoke at the lowest per-can price in the 40mm family — so you can buy in depth, mix every color, and still hit the $225 free-shipping line.
Enough burn to work the scene.
Sixty seconds is the sweet spot — long enough to adjust your subject and catch the plume at its peak, without paying the 90-second premium.
Plan for outdoor use and protect nearby surfaces.
Use outdoors only. Wear gloves, follow the printed placement instructions and keep people clear of the smoke, avoid breathing the smoke, and follow the product label and manufacturer instructions.
Every color, in the format you already trust.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, white, and black — each tuned for saturation on camera. Pick your palette and we'll ship the exact WP40-D color you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my 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.
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.
How long does the WP40-D smoke last?
The WP40-D burns for ≈ 60 seconds of dense colored smoke. For photography that's 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.
What's the difference between top-pull and wire-pull?
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.
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.
Why is shipping so expensive?

We ship to the contiguous U.S. except Massachusetts, plus Washington, D.C. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, international destinations, or PO boxes.

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