I was a Bad Boy during that period of my life: the dry ice and hydrogen
experiments just weren't enough of a thrill, so I, um, _managed_ to buy
lab supplies by mail. :) Lab-grade iodine and ammonia are SO much more
fun! So is a mix of magnesium, aluminum, and iron oxide (the burn scar
should still be there in the concrete, just outside Hollywood High,
unless they've torn up the street by now. :)))

Amazingly, I managed to keep all my fingers and even my eyebrows (my
secret? I mastered fuze-making BEFORE anything else. Also, the chemical
supply company got hinky and wouldn't sell me liquid sodium.) That's
what we call "success" in the pyrotechnics experimentation biz. :)

Home Depot carries them; so do a number of other places. Pretty well
thought-out gadgets, and comparable to regular fittings in price.
