I got an email from the manufacturer (MJG) which states "This will fire exactly like the product line J-tek. Requiring less than 1 volt."

if you get a few let us know if they are any good

I wonder if they got around the laws by making "bridge-less ematchs ." These usually consist of a conductive comp( graphite or other material that shorts out and catches fire with ease.It appears that they use the same "chips" as ematches ,and if they are bridge less then it is worth trying . I wonder if they are as fast ( instantaneous ignition )?

Kevin claims they are and says he will have more specs on them soon. I am thinking about ordering a few as a comparison between commercial e-match.

Somewhere I read they were approved because of the pyrogen used. It must be quite insensitive. That or they are Chinese made which seem to get approval much easier than domestic made product.

 

I would think a bridge wire would require less sensitive pyrogen than a conductive pyrogen. But that's just a WAG.

I haven't used these exact ones, but I have used the similar product on eBay. They are the same as regular ematches. They spit plenty of fire and take electricity well. The trick is, they can't be called ematches. The term ematch requires a license, but the new names the have popped up like initiators or igniters do not require a 1.3g license but work just the same.
