Hit up LA party district. Dude sells strobes and salutes. Also has Jungles

@@Djtrixer1 thank you bro

@@Djtrixer1 they got IG ?

@@Djtrixer1 no way I’m gonna go there someday

Do u have instagram

They have definitely upped the prices

No one has a choice shipping cost are through the roof! Thank Your government policies for that. Sadly I don’t think it will come back down. 🤷‍♂️🇺🇸

@@KentAndrewLang1967 this current administration is to thank for the mess we’re facing; and although you're right about the increased shipping, the price per container has actually gone down since 2020. We in the pyro community can clearly see that Red Apple is acting out of greed. Its a sad day when ones typical mom n pop local fireworks shop becomes a cheaper option than Red Apple. Also, take Red Apple’s direct competitors such as (Elite, Superior, Victory, or Spirit of 76’) they're all 40%+ cheaper than RA, even new items.

@@entradieothat and they steal brands from other companies. Now tiki bombs are a red apple only item. They trademarked the damn name.. what a bunch of assholes. They did it to Chroma shells

Ocean freight costs have gone down dramatically in the last couple of years. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with any government. Ocean rates for a 40-foot container were over $30,000 a couple of years ago, but are now only $10,000 to $12,000 to the Long Beach port. Many wholesalers have lowered their prices last year and this year, as ocean shipping costs have gone down. Some dealers, though, have hept their prices the same or even raised them.

Absolutely! That’s why I made the vid!

@@BraydenZ12 hey brutha I have yet to ever purchase out there cuz was kinda worried about getting stopped or if at that checkpoint might get stopped. Any advice? I live in LA. What are the best days or times to go to get back safe if you know what I mean? Do you think they would still have some “clearance” in the next week or 2?

Wow! I’m jealous haha

Absolutely brotha

Haha small world brotha thanks for tuning in

It’s the little things brotha! I appreciate the comment 👊

Thank you brotha 👊

I’m so hyped!!

Sweet! Glad you made it back safely. Thanks for the info 👊

Still good to go bro ? I’m trynna go this weekend

Appreciate it brotha!

Thanks for the info brotha good to know for next time 👍👊

THEY DO , I GOT RACCOON 6 INCH AND 5 INCH CANISTER SHELLS AND THEY ADDED 11% TAX

@@jon-e-2icon260 was that on retail side? Maybe it’s only on the wholesale side but based off pricing it would make more sense to buy the case considering a kit is running around 80-100 snagged a case for 160 (3 kits) no tax

@@jon-e-2icon260at red apple they taxed the mortars heavily

@@BraydenZ12 and raised prices recently as well

Thanks for subscribing! Yes they do to both of your questions!

Very true

Were I live it is 300

Good to know thanks bro

Best one yet 😉

Haha small world brotha! Thanks for tuning in

Oh you already know it! As their number one fan it’s was all Shinedown there and Shinedown back! (8 hours of total driving!) Haha

Thank you bro!

Thanks brotha I appreciate it

Thank you bro! Almost about $350

Sounds good thank you

For 350 you’ll get a 1/1 cake here in Southern Cali 😂

Sweet thank you for the info! Def love me some mom n pop restaurants!

Thank you! Nope just phantom and red apple. Any tips for outlaw?

@@BraydenZ12 Case prices are best there, mortars and cakes mostly but they have other stuff too.

@@charlesbowers8112outlaw got some good cakes and mortar , gotta get em early while you can

@@charlesbowers8112thanks for the tips bro 👍👊

Just 200g brotha nothing on anything else

Phantom did have some really good prices for 500g tho

Now the roads are gonna start to get hot I’d be cautious. With 24/7 I’m not too sure on that

Yeah kind of figured’ I always go before June. Was just Thinking abt going on another trip, but after hours. I know in June it’s hot. Good looking out bro 👍🏼 .

Yessir may is the way haha

@@BraydenZ12 you think Its safe to make a last min trip on early june?

You should be fine just don’t bring a big truck or anything with trailers

I bet! Those salutes don’t mess around. Still trying to find mine 🥲

Yessir brotha may is the time to go. Just don’t bring a big car just something small and when you go look for the clearance section for different brands. That’s the way to go 👍👊

drive back like 8pm ish like April and early may so no one usually out there

appreciate u guys!

@@BraydenZ12 April is even better

Take a off the path road 👌

Google maps and find the long route

Definitely!

Small car and just don’t get too much. Keep it all in the trunk

@@BraydenZ12 is 400$ worth of it to much😅

Definitely. Red apples prices are actually not that good it was the clearance section that was good

If you have anyone that has decent prices for strobes and salutes lmk brotha! Appreciate you checking out the video!

@@BraydenZ12 i can plug you in 💯 how do i dm you

I think they tax everything bro. Unfortunately, but on the flip side it’s not like California taxes haha

THEY DO ITS 11%

@@jon-e-2icon260 how much is 11%? In $

Thank you for checking out the channel!

@@BraydenZ12 your welcome

Roads are gonna start to get hot be careful

@@BraydenZ12 what should I do

Are you saying red Apple brand or the brands on clearance?

@@BraydenZ12 Red Apple brand is crap all the stuff you got was good

@@Wanderingpyrothey’re definitely overpriced. Appreciate it brotha

🤫

Not too sure bro.

I’m jealous of all the strobes and salutes people have haha

@@BraydenZ12 kzfaq.infotKRY1s7jIrc?si=d1IOSL48qoBFopZx

I’m not too sure how to send privately 🤔

@@BraydenZ12 you can share it here but people would be hella mad, i was just talkin bout ig

@@calm200pumpyeah I don’t got social media brother sorry

@@calm200pumpall I would say is take a road less traveled on lol 👌

No

No checkpoints

@BraydenZ12 thank you. I've heard stories that cops are active around this time.

So cal brotha

I bet

Super fun man! Better deals. Doesn’t look as good as red apple but I think personally they’re better

Why didn’t you record inside and do they trip if your out of state

@@McGothicI wasn’t expecting to buy a whole lot in phantom. And if you go up there with a giant car or trailer then I think they will but we had nothing to crazy

@@BraydenZ12 sick I wanna get a couple of the moon dance if the price is right large moon dance to and dragon tears

Oooh idk brotha that’s a risky one. Theres always gonna be a few cops lingering around where you can’t see em. They’re looking for the big trucks with trailers or U hauls. If you take a little car they usually don’t suspect that much. I’ve done it a few times before so it’s not like crazy or anything but just be careful

Hot roads, the best time of the year is 2 months before the fourth

@@M1_L1pyrosabsolutely. The safest and the best deals 👍

The closer to the fourth you get the riskier.

It don't matter what size vehicle you take. Red Apple let's scouts park in their parking lot, watch you load you purchase, gets your license plate,etc and relays to cdf or whomever is making the checkpoints. You don't need believe me but it really happens.

Too expensive man. Unless someone has some strobe rockets or salutes 🤔

Everyone sells them but they sell them to over price

@@Nathan3272-pn4devery true

@@BraydenZ12 that’s why you need that plug and buy in bulk

@@909pyroIE if they were reasonable still have yet to find one

😂

Not at this time. Next month I’d be super cautious. Just don’t make it obvious (like a trailer or a big truck or a U-Haul)

Been to pahrump like 3 times, everything smooth 🎉 Sundays to be exact.

@@rickvillanueva93 I went on mothers day but forsure thought border was gonna be hot and it wasnt bruh

🤫

Is it good to still go this month

Don’t think I won’t lol!

Haha we were like kids in a candy store and the money added up very quick like 5 minutes quick lol

Who said we were keeping em 😉

Nope

Actually less 👍

Yeah they definitely have

Got lucky haha

Oh yeah hundred percent

lol maybe! But they seemed to have decent prices for the most part

Resell buddy 👌😁

I do love fireworks. They are visually spectacular. They’re just hard to buy with all the inflation going on now. I blame Biden for this.

@@mr.nightshade8465💯💯 brotha Biden ruined this economy. Especially California with $5 a gallon 🤦‍♂️

What do you recommend?

I’m sorry brotha! Don’t wanna spoil too much! But about 95% of what I bought I showed the price and deal!

Lmfao I’m playin😂 I’m going this week 💯 you got me hyped up

@@Skylersteel just came back today too hopefully I get you hyped up from the new vid too 👌 appreciate you brotha thanks for tuning in

@@BraydenZ12 be safe out there. Watch them fingers and toes

@@Skylersteel you too lol 😂

$7 bucks for a 200 gram cake ain’t bad but your probably right

Twitter/X: BraydenZaz12 Facebook/Insta: Jeff Zazueta

Is that a store?

@@BraydenZ12no it’s the biggest convention for fireworks in the country. This year it’s held in brainerd mn. Fly into msp, drive up an hour and a half. Better product than what you’re seeing, and they’ll teach you how not to be a rookie and just look at an edited video. You’ll also meet me and most likely I’ll let you build a strobe. Or have a few to play with. Also you’ll learn weight has absolutely nothing to do with performance. The whole bottom is filled with clay so weight is also a rookie move. Phantom is a joke. And you missed the one that has better product in that area…

@@Pyrojesusgodthat’s sick man! Had no idea. Wish I could if I had the money… maybe some time in the future for sure 👊

@@Pyrojesusgodwhen is the convention happening?

@@BraydenZ122024 August this year. It’s worth the trek. It’s a full week of explosions. Go sell six cakes at $100 a piece and you’ll have enough for the entrance. Costs and half your hotel bill. Then go sell another 5 for a $100 and you’ll be golden to attend.
