    I just bought two for my 328. Used the discount code NGS10 from Normal Supercar Guy on YouTube.

    I'm not sure if discount codes are still available, but, if they are... @Element please send me a discount code as well.
    The best part is that it has no expiration date...plus it leaves no messy residue after putting out the fire.
    I'd like to buy several of these to keep in my Dino and in my home.

    Have 5 of these, and gave to relatives for Christmas. Has anyone had a real life experience with these?

    Coupon codes are still available. All you need to do is send us a PM and we'll fire you off a coupon.

    As time passes we get more and more success stories come in of people who saved their valuable possessions by using an Element they had nearby. Quite recently a local racer to us blew a turbo in his $150K race BMW. He was far from any marshals and with time at a premium he was able to use the Element in his car to put out the fire. This happened in front of the whole regional racing community (no spectators sadly due to COVID) and the following weekend there were Elements up and down the pitlane in almost every car :)

    People are always asking for independent tests and the video below was so independent that we learned about it AFTER it was filmed and aired on Netflix. Pretty cool piece where you can see Element in action.

    What rating are these fire extinguishers? I assume it's at least some level of Class B rating to be appropriate for vehicle/marine use (flammable liquids, etc).

    Thanks, I should have been more specific - I don't know how the rating system actually works, but I assume that to be "approved" for use in certain applications, some agency must test/authorize an appropriate label to be on the extinguisher.

    For example, if a "1 B" fire extinguisher is required by some regulating agency would the Element meet the approval requirements during an inspection, keeping in mind that the inspector is looking for a specific sticker/or whatever on the extinguisher? One thing that occurs to me - having a lot of experience with marine USCG inspections - extinguishers have to be able to be checked. Dry chemical types have a gauge, CO2/similar are weighed. How does that work with the Element? IOW, it seems to me an inspector can say, "How can I tell if this is going to work when you try to ignite it?

    I'm interested in replacing some extinguishers with the Element but for the applications I have in mind, periodic fire extinguisher inspections are required. So is the Element "legal" in these applications?
