I was going to suggest a Swedish site, www.svenskakemi.nu, but after a quick price check, it is about the same price.
But he is reliable and ships every Monday if all else fails.
As for NitroParis, I've sent a few e-mails, but never had a reply. I guess you will have to go large if you are to get any interest back from them.
I know they ship, but that was a large order with quite a few chipping in.

I see, thanks aquarius.

I once wrote an email to Nitroparis and received a quick response, but they immediately asked for the tax-ID number or business identification. I just wonder why they keep offering perc at Passfire if they only want to find business-sellers.

I contacted Nitroparis last year enquiring about a bag of kperc, they were very helpful. I wasn't asked about a business address or tax id, I was enquiring about 25kg so may have sounded more ligit than a person wanting 5kg? How much were you looking to buy?
It turned out that I didn't order in the end as Steve from Inoxia gave me a better deal on a sack so it worked out cheaper than shipping it from Nitroparis.

Likewise - Always quick to reply and with the prelims, but when it comes down to it they want bank transfers etc which would cost a fortune - as you say - odd that they advertise on an amateur site...

Hi folks,

New guy here, I dnt know if this has been said but, has anyone any experience of a company Inoxia Ltd. Their site looks good, but is it legit? Any info will be great.

Cheers

Hi,

Yes Inoxia is definitely legitimate. The owner Steve is a member on this forum, and whenever I've placed an order everything has been well protected and shipped with all the correct labels and documents.

There are quite a few posts on the forum about Inoxia if you search.

Hope this helps,
Paul

Edit: Just noticed this had already all been said in the 'supplies' thread!

I'd highly recommend Inoxia, there are some ID and security checks before you can place your first order, but don't let that put you off, I've had 4 orders off Steve so far and every order has been painless and straight forward, also his chems are quality.

Its a while ago since I registered with Inoxia, and can't quite remember what I had to do, but it was worth it in the end. Just a little note off subject, this pyro game requires as much research as practical, so don't rush into anything and burn those fingersPosted Image . Stay safe,,,,,Dean

I think they are pretty cheap compared to most places, when you buy largers qty you can see that you will be saving in the long run.

I started my pyro projects early last year and I calculated that if I shopped with inoxia from then I would have saved £54.50 last year alone. That money could get you some extra fuse or some chemicals Posted Image

What I also like about Inoxia is that they accept postal payment, which is good for people who are not confident when shopping online.

Also, has anyone on here dealt with 'HobbyChemicals.co.uk', like bought supplies from them.

Cheers

Where has all the Titanium gone?
A couple of years ago there were numerous sources and now nothing.
Anybody know why or better still know any sellers?

moonfruit, stock it, ebay as well around £6 for 100g, expensive but it does last a long time , i wounder if you can simply turn a titanium round bar and use the chippings, im sure ive read you can then heat up the turnings to make then brittle to aid crushing, but i may be tripping

Hans, my fellow Swede, is reliable but not cheap. It's not easy to be cheap in Sweden with our taxes and the relatively few serious pyro amateurs, though I find his prices a bit expensive nevertheless.

NitroParis is kind of schizo. They want VAT number, though they don't state it clearly on their homepage.

I know nothing about Spanish law, but in Sweden most pyro chemicals are legally free, though it's up to the company selling it to deny private citizens from buying or not.
