Q&A for How to Make a Simple Smoke Bomb

No, I tried flour and it all went in one spot, so you should try talcum powder instead.

No, because it can explode in your pocket. The color can stain your clothes and the inside of your pocket

It depends on how big you want the explosion. The more powder, the bigger the explosion.

Yes, because otherwise the powder will drip out of the egg before you smash it.

Add more of your chosen filling to scatter more powder and make a bigger explosion.

Whatever powder you have available to you. Examples: flour; powdered sugar; baby powder.

Either will work.

Wet the napkin before you put the "filling" into it (baby powder, talcum powder, etc.). Then follow the rest of the steps in the tutorial.

Yes. You can dip some powder in ink and then dry out the ink. Then, put the powder on top of your bomb.

Yes, it can be stored by taping. You can use it later just for fun, or for paintball or Airsoft.

You can use powdered dye or even glitters, as long as it is a light powder.

There usually isn't a need for an explosion far away, as smoke bombs are usually used as a distraction on the spot to get away.

Place it on the floor and stamp on it, or get a rock or stone or something heavy and throw it into the smoke bomb.

Yes, you can.

Carry them in a bag or box, or put them in your pockets.

No. It may cause eye irritation, even suffocation. It's best to avoid hitting people with it.

Just long enough for it to be slightly damp, but not falling apart. If it falls apart, the powder will get all over the place.

No, you should not throw this off of a building as it could cause a lot of damage and hurt people.

As much as you want. More powder equals a bigger explosion. Leave some air room, though.

Yes, it will still work the same as with flour, talcum powder, etc. The result will be the same, just make sure no one inhales any of it.

I wouldn't recommend it, because you could get suspended or even expelled if you got caught.

You really aren't able to explode one of these smoke bombs in midair. You'd need a different kind of smoke bomb for that to happen.

If you can find an easily-shattered object that can be filled, use that! If you have the materials, you could make your desired shape out of air-dry clay. Just make sure it's thin!

Of course! You could mix pigments, or grind up smalls things to make black. For red, I would recommend using chalk, clay, possibly crayons. Same for black!
