Smoke Grenades — Coloured Smoke for Photography, Events and Gender Reveals
Handheld smoke grenades produce dense plumes of coloured smoke lasting 60 to 90 seconds. They are popular for photography shoots, gender reveal parties, music videos, paintball, airsoft and creative events where coloured smoke adds visual impact.
We stock smoke grenades from Cube Fireworks in eight colours: red, blue, pink, green, orange, white, yellow and black — each priced at £6.99. For gender reveals, the pink and blue options are the obvious choices. All colours are also available in cases of 36 for events and trade buyers.
These are handheld pull-ring smoke devices classified as F1. They do not produce flames or sparks — only coloured smoke. They are designed for outdoor use. The smoke is non-toxic but avoid inhaling it directly and use in well-ventilated outdoor spaces.
For firework-based effects, browse our cakes, rockets or fountains. For quiet celebration effects, see our sparklers and ice fountains. Orders over £300 qualify for free delivery.
Are smoke grenades legal in the UK?
Yes. Coloured smoke grenades classified as F1 fireworks are legal to purchase and use in the UK. They are not weapons or military-grade devices — they are pyrotechnic smoke effects designed for consumer use at events and photography.
How long do smoke grenades last?
Most handheld smoke grenades produce coloured smoke for 60 to 90 seconds. The density and duration depend on conditions — wind disperses the smoke faster, while calm conditions produce thicker, longer-lasting plumes.
Are smoke grenades safe?
Coloured smoke grenades are F1-rated (the lowest firework category) and are designed for safe consumer use. They do not produce flames or sparks. Use them outdoors, avoid direct inhalation of the smoke, and keep them away from flammable materials. The smoke can stain clothing and surfaces.
Can you use smoke grenades for gender reveals?
Yes. Pink and blue smoke grenades are one of the most popular methods for gender reveal parties. Pull the ring outdoors and the coloured smoke creates a dramatic visual announcement. Use in an open outdoor space and be aware that the smoke can stain nearby surfaces.
Do smoke grenades stain?
The coloured smoke can leave temporary stains on light-coloured clothing, surfaces and grass. Dark colours (red, blue, black) are more likely to stain than lighter colours. Use away from white clothing and light-coloured walls. Most stains wash out of clothing with standard washing.
Do smoke grenades come with free delivery?
Orders over £300 qualify for free delivery to mainland UK. Cases of 36 grenades qualify for free delivery on their own. Smaller orders carry a flat delivery charge.
