Bismuth Subnitrate

I see Bismuth Subcarbonate and Bismuth Trioxide being used in formulas for dragon eggs. Are there any for Bismuth Subnitrate? If so, is there a noticable difference between them?

IIRC there are all the same for there use in dragons eggs and are 1:1 interchangable.

Hmm, that's interesting. I'd expect at the least a change in parts of the formula. I am surprised the stoichiometry wouldn't be thrown off.

I have used bismuth subcarbonate (skylighter), trioxide (fireworktool, pyrochemsource) and bismuth subnitrate (bought it in mexico) 1:1 for DE and they all worked well.

It's pretty hard to find, didn't know if the cost and scarcity of it has a role just like everything else (in life too).

why would you try to buy subnitrate when you can get the more easily available trioxide from hunter(fireworktool) but if you still want to get the subnitrate here's a place that sells it (expensive though ) http://www.uspigment.com/chemicals.shtml they also sell antimony trioxide and if I remember right I think someone posted here on APC a formula using antimony trioxide to make dragon eggs.

I never wanted to buy it. I was just wondering if it had any different effect. Since it's more expensive and scarcer, I assumed there would be different results.
