Pyrotechniks and Practical Jokes This is a phile on making cigarette loads. Keep in mind explosives are dangerous and should be handled with care. Requirements- Sodium Azide Lead Nitrate Balsa wood slivers (approx. 3/8" to 1/2" by 1/8" to 1/4") Filter Paper Distilled Water Gum Arabic Glue What is a load? A load is a small explosive which will shred a cigarette and produce a sharp cracking sound when the cigarette is lit. It is placed in the tobacco end of the cigarette and, if made and inserted properly, causes no harm (except to the cigarette) on ignition. Here's what you do: Dissolve about 1 gram Sodium Azide in distilled water. Don't use more water than you need. Then dissolve about 3 grams Lead Nitrate in water, again using only as much as you need. Slowly pour the lead Nitrate solution into the Sodium Azide solution, stirring as you pour. A white substance will settle in the bottom. Pour out the water, and filter the white stuff (Lead Azide) with distilled water several times. Remember, the filter paper has enough lead azide on it to make it explosive. You should store what you don't need wet to keep it from accidentally detonating. Mix enough gum arabic glue to make the stuff stick, then dip the balsa wood in it. Leave them to dry for about a day, then test one out (NOT IN YOUR MOUTH!!!). You should stick it in so the end of the sliver is just barely visible. When the cigarette is lit, the paper at the end should be shredded. If you put it in right, the victim has just enough time to take a drag before it explodes. Don't store a lot of lead azide in a container. Put a gram in a plastic container that won't shatter. Make sure you wipe the lip before closing the jar. You can put just enough water in the jar to cover the stuff, but don't put in the glue until you are ready to apply it. If you don't put the load in far enough, it will send cinders flying. I've seen them cause considerable pain by getting in someone's eye, so make sure you put it in right.
