The worlds best commercially available smoke grenade

A BRIEF HISTORY

Enola Gaye has been manufacturing coloured smoke grenades and effects since 1996; the first product that we designed was the small smoke grenade manufactured entirely in our UK factory. Since then we have gone on to become the biggest commercial supplier of pyrotechnics designed for paintball and airsoft games.

Our list of airsoft and paintball pyrotechnics have expanded into products such as the Paintball Grenade or Paint Grenade as it has more commonly become know. Also available is the BB Grenade version for the airsoft market now known as the Frag Grenade and the Thunderflash (thunder flash).

Whilst we are still a dominant force in paintball and airsoft pyrotechnics we have found our smoke products being used in many other industries and applications. Our coloured smoke effects are no longer just used in the paintball fields, but very often used for coloured smoke special effects on location in film and TV.
