First Class - Traser - 36 shots Firework Cake

First Class Collection - Traser (36-Schots Vuurwerk Cake)The Traser is a mid-tier multi-shot cake from the First Class Collection, imported by Hardix Vuurwerk (a Belgian/Dutch specialist in F2 consumer fireworks). Dating back to around 2007-2008 catalogs, it's known for its balanced, glittering performance in moderate displays—ideal for bridging quieter moments to finales in New Year's or party setups. While not as common in 2025 stock (replaced by higher-NEP imports), it's still sought after in enthusiast resale markets like Marktplaats.nl for its classic reliability.Key Specs:Article Number (Art. Nr.): 2292

Number of Shots: 36 schots (fired in sequenced volleys, ~20 second duration).
Net Explosive Content (NEP/Kruitgewicht): 500g (heavy for its era, focusing on dense effects rather than sheer volume).
Size/Dimensions: Approx. 25cm x 25cm x 18cm (stable rectangular base for angled firing; compact for storage).
Price (Historical/2025 Est.): €49.50 (2008 advisory; current resales ~€40-55 if found).

Effects Breakdown:Traser delivers a "tracer-like" trail of building intensity, with glittering tails evoking streaking lights. Based on 2008 demo footage and forum breakdowns, the 20-second show unfolds in 4-5 phases at a moderate pace (1.8 shots/sec), reaching heights of ~25m. Effects emphasize sparkle over loud bangs, with a clean burn and low smoke:Phase 1 (Shots 1-10, Intro Tracers): Silver and gold glittering tails with rising whistle comets—sharp, piercing sounds creating a streaking "tracer" effect across the sky.
Phase 2-3 (Shots 11-24, Build-Up): Transition to blue/green pearl breaks with brocade borders and subtle strobes; adds depth with fish-like swimming stars for visual flow.
Phase 4 (Shots 25-36, Finale): Explosive crackling chrysanthemums and willow trees in red/gold, ending in a prolonged crackle shower—described as a "mooie finale vol crackling" that fills the night impressively.

Noise level: Medium-high (whistles and crackles lead; fewer salutes for a melodic vibe). Colors mix cool silvers/blues with warm golds/reds for dynamic contrast. Users highlight the "goede glittering effecten" as standout, making it feel larger than its footprint.User Reviews & Performance Notes:Pros: Reliable ignition (quick fuse, no misfires in tests), wind-resistant glitter, great value for mid-range shows. Forum users on Freakpyromaniacs rave: "Leuke cake met goede glittering effecten... Was er erg van onder de indruk" (fun cake with solid glitters—super impressed on first view).
Cons: Modest height (~25m) compared to modern 40m+ cakes; finale can feel abrupt if not sequenced well.
