    Yeah this seems way too complicated. Water balloons seem like they’d be way easier to mass produce. If you want something which can’t be washed off easily then just use oil based paint.

      And sand.

      When they wipe the paint off, the sand will scratch and “fog” the glass/plexiglass, which requires the goggles/camera/plexi shield to be unusable.

      Balloons are actually pretty hard to pop, especially when not inflated with air. I don’t think they’d work that well. You need something fragile that breaks on impact. There’s a reason a lot of hand grenades meant to break and distribute their payload were made from glass or ceramic. I would guess that light bulbs are probably the easiest and cheapest way to get bulbs for this.

        Water balloons are surely designed to pop and spray their contents. That’s their whole point. Are you thinking of normal party balloons?

      It is. I just wanted to share my crafting tips from when I was a young stoner making vaporizers. Balloons are definitely the better option.
