Initiator Types
The only non-regulated electric match on the market, MJG Initiators will perform exactly the same as traditional e-match, but without the need for any certification. MJG Initiators come in three different types; Standard Shroud, Twist Locks, and Visco Shroud.
Standard Shroud
Standard Shroud Initiators are designed to be used with an e-match port or inserted directly into the cake.
Twist Locks
Includes a T-Lock (twist lock) shroud that will plug and secure into any Spirit of '76 Professional products with the matching T-Lock port. Compatible Spirit products are marked with the T-Lock logo in their product catalog. For more information on compatible products, please see Ignition Types.
Visco Shroud
Visco Shroud Initiators come with a pre-installed tube that fuse is inserted into. Simply insert the fuse, apply tape, and your effect is ready to reliably fire.

Shipping Information
How long does it take to receive MJG initiators (and what is the difference between USPS and FedEx)?
When ordering MJG initiators, it is essential to factor in the shipping time. This is even more important around major holidays, as shipping times can be extended due to higher-than-average shipping volumes with USPS and FedEx.
Due to hazmat shipping regulations, we are not able to ship MJG Initiators outside of the United States at this time.
