Enola Gaye EG25 Wire Pull Micro Smoke Grenade (Blue)
The Enola Gaye EG25 is a compact micro smoke grenade that gives around 25 seconds of blue smoke from a simple wire pull. It is much smaller than a full-size smoke grenade, so you can carry several in a pouch or pocket and use them whenever a quick signal or a short burst of colour is needed.
Enola Gaye is a British company and one of the best-known names in coloured smoke. The EG25 is its micro smoke, designed for short, controlled effects rather than heavy screening, and it is popular with players, photographers and event organisers alike.
How it works
Hold the grenade firmly, pull the ring and it starts to smoke, with no striker or lighter needed. The EG25 gives around 25 seconds of smoke and Enola Gaye rates its cloud size as 1 on its own scale, so it produces a modest, manageable puff of colour rather than a large cloud. That makes it easier to control and ideal where you want a brief signal or a tidy effect for a photo.
Using it
In an airsoft or paintball game, the EG25 is a handy signal: a quick puff of blue can mark your position for a team-mate, call in support or show that an objective has been taken. Agree colour meanings before play. Because it is small and short-lived, it is less suited to screening a large movement; for that, a larger smoke such as the EG18 is a better choice. For photographers and videographers, the EG25’s shorter, smaller cloud is easier to work with in tight spaces and for close-up shots, and blue smoke gives a cool, striking look.

Compatibility
The EG25 is thrown or placed by hand and needs no other equipment. Its small size means it fits in most small utility pouches. Check your site’s rules before use, as policies on smoke and pyrotechnics vary.
Storage and handling
Store smoke grenades in a cool, dry place away from heat, flames and direct sunlight, and keep them in their packaging until you need them. Do not use a grenade that is damp, crushed or damaged. Keep the pull ring secure in transit so it cannot be snagged, and carry grenades in a pouch rather than loose in a pocket. Read the instructions printed on the grenade before use.
After use, the casing gets very hot. Leave it where it lands until it has stopped smoking and cooled down completely, then pick it up and dispose of it responsibly. Never try to relight or reuse a spent grenade.
Who is it for?
The EG25 suits players who want a compact signal smoke that is easy to carry, organisers who need small markers for objectives, and photographers and videographers looking for a controllable, short burst of blue smoke.
Please note: This is a pyrotechnic product. Use it outdoors only, follow the instructions on the grenade and the rules of your site, never hold it in front of your face and always wear suitable eye protection.
