Can IgniterMan igniters be used for dual-deployment using a 9v transister battery?
Thanks, Peter

No, IgniterMan igniters need 12 volt to ignite.
used Oraxals.
I've lit many Igniterman igniters using 9V, including a few in the sustainer of a 2 stage rocket. But I agree that Oxral's are better.
THe Oxrals and equivelents are designed for low current applications the Igniterman igniters aren't. Some electronics can ignite either MOST of the time. Some will only ignite Oxrals. I suggest you go with the Oxrals so you don't find out which is which the hard way.
I looked online for some of the alternatives like Daveyfire and Oxrals and the suppliers were requiring a LEUP. I guess that would mean that those of us out in the boondocks are out of luck unless we get the permit?
