So I’ve used this extensively for a couple years. It’s fine…but there are issues.

Firstly, it circuit board is no trouble for me. I put flesh tape on the unit and left a slot for removing the battery which I do very easily every single show. Takes 2 seconds. I DO like that the board has two ways to trigger the unit but for some reason, the range is more limited with one trigger than another. Strange.

The main issue is the unit itself not being strong enough with enough arc to pop a balloon. If the leads aren’t set properly, the arc won’t work at all or works sporadically. Even once set, sometimes it just arcs and puts a small hole in the balloon in which case it takes forever to go down. More a comedy routine at that point.

Does it work? Yeah. Not great. But if you play enough with it you can get it to function. Would be better if it was engineered a bit better.

I’m thinking of trying out the newer version which is supposedly more powerful.
