Love the grip!
"This staff is very nicely weighted with small wicks and an amazing non-slip grip. Most of the weight is in the staff itself instead of being balanced and propelled by the wick area like some others available. The leather crossed over the suede type grip makes for great throwing and keeping track of hand placement. Awesome product that I would recommend to anyone looking for a prominent grip and for beginners as well."

Great deal for LED and fire poi!
"These LED balls are nice bright and soft. The rainbow fade effect is beautiful spare batteries thrown in the package is lovely as well. The cathedral fire heads have a nice moderately heavy weight plus they are very solid and tight too. The ball chain cords are lighter than the pro series chains I primarily spin with but still very nice with the leather handles. I love having a variety of mediums to spin and this package is a wonderful value. I'm very pleased with this set!"

Great smell and a great light!
"I wanted something portable and more convenient than a lighter or matches for my poi and staffs this did the trick! The screw on lid makes it great to carry in your bag on the go it smells great and is the perfect shape to sit stable on the ground to light your fire toys (especially in cold weather when it takes much longer to get them going). I just tried it yesterday and it made my spinning experience much easier to get started and allowed all my focus to be on spinning. This is a must have item for a portable highly controlled ignition process for your burns. Great product!"

The best single loop handle I've ever used!
"I wanted a set of shorter chains for more control of my poi plus ease of release to put my heads out and to move them to one hand with ease. These chains are fabulous! I already have the pro-series with double loop handles and this is the first single loop handle I have ever felt comfortable spinning with. I used them for a burn when they came in the mail yesterday and they performed beautifully. The material has a great no-slip feel and the loops aren't as wide like leather handles making them much more suited to my fingers with different grip types. I think these are great for anyone getting use to fire and wants the ability to get in and out of the handles with more ease than the double loop."

Great customer service and speedy shipping!
"I had my staff in 4 business days along with some other items and customer service quickly corrected a selection error when I clicked the wrong box before they shipped my products. I appreciate the quick response time to support inquiries so much. HoP goes above and beyond the call of duty and that's why I keep coming back to them for all of my poi staff and skill toy needs:)"

Great for my staff too big for my Mura poi heads
"I love these they fit my staff perfectly. Nice look feel and you can tell the insides will protect clothing and other items from excess fuel residual that may be left over on the wicks. I just wish they also fit my poi heads but they are too long for a proper fit. They still work fine but would be easier to practice with if it fit the Mura heads better. A small size would be helpful for the rolled and 2 inch fire heads. Other than that very nice and I love the yellow ones on the Mistletoe Staff (It looks really awesome together!)"

Finally these have made me comfortable with fire!
"These poi were just what the doctor ordered for me to become truly comfortable doing moves with fire. The weight is perfect for everything especially stalls and plane control. The flame is very even throughout the near 10 minutes they stay lit and a surprisingly manageable size. These poi must be treated with respect as they are very hard should you bonk yourself but the rewards are great when you finally take the plunge! Thanks HoP for a fire head that feels great and performs beautifully!"

Good starting baby flames (update)
"I've had the time now to burn with these so I'm happy to say with confidence these wicks and their nice baby flames have helped me get use to using fire poi. After breaking them in with a few fire sessions they have a wonderful steady manageable flame that provides enough drag to perform moves well and the shape of the head itself is excellent for minimal collisions when starting with fire or simply poi in general. I always know where they are making overhead moves much less intimidating. After fire use I wrap them in tinfoil then place them into the fluffy covers for daily practice. I'm getting stronger now from all the training and want more weight so I'm moving up to the Monkey Fists but this was the best wick for me to start with and a most enjoyable medium in the proving ground of making the leap into fire spinning."

Keeps my bag organized!
"These are wonderful inexpensive quick closing sacks to keep your sock LED and fabric poi sets together and organized. I wish it came in several colors to make grabbing a set from my duffel bag a bit quicker but my big bag is neat and tidy thanks to these little ones. The extra drawstring is easy to carry on your wrist if you just want to take one set with you when you go outside to practice as well. These are great thanks HoP!"

Awesome storage!
"For convenience I ordered this unlabeled dip can strictly for storing my used fire heads and it locks out the smell well enough that in my small apartment no level of residual fumes can be detected whatsoever. It's been very useful having this plain one only for storage that stays in the home and having the labeled one to use outdoors for actual dipping because it's less cleaning and there is always an immediately ready storage area when you get back home to unload and put away your gear after an outing."

Easy to deploy
"I hope I never have to use this fire blanket but I'm glad I have it and it stays in my equipment bag at all times. It's easy to deploy and every fire spinner should have one of these on site at all times. Thanks for offer this vital piece of safety equipment HoP!!!"

Great for on the go and locks out the fumes!
"This is a nice little fuel bottle. The lid doesn't leak any fumes it's made from good plastic with a child proof lock and the label is most useful and can easily be replaced should you switch your fuel. The only down fall is it can be messy to pour because it doesn't have a nozzle like a traditional gas can. So be careful pouring but other than that word of caution it's an excellent portable container and this is the first time I've seen one this small that is acceptable for fuel."

Very informative!
"This video is very informative and to the point while being easy to grasp and entertaining. It was helped myself and my spotter make the preparations for my first burn and safely complete it. It truly is a great tool and so wonderful of HoP to include it with the purchase of fire equipment to help keep people safe with these arts. Very awesome!"

"These LED balls are nice bright and soft. The rainbow fade effect is beautiful spare batteries thrown in the package is lovely as well. The cathedral fire heads have a nice moderately heavy weight plus they are very solid and tight too. The ball chain cords are lighter than the pro series chains I primarily spin with but still very nice with the leather handles. I love having a variety of mediums to spin and this package is a wonderful value. I'm very pleased with this set!"

Very sturdy and well priced
"I have seen many multi-tools priced higher and built far less solid (too flimsy to work with poi chains or any type of metal). These are really a good value well made suited for poi related use and come with a nice carrying case as well. A very good deal!"

Fits the cathedral heads perfectly!
"Protects the wicks adds some weight and drag and softens the impact of bonks when you make a mistake during practice. Fits my cathedral heads perfectly I highly recommend these to cover for everyday practice sessions. Great job HoP!"

Good grippy and very economical!
"Great set of practice sticks they are so light and grippy I'm comfortable using them inside of my apartment. The CD-ROM is good to look at the different tricks and vary the speed of play for working through moves better. The flower ends provide nice balance as well. Fun for all ages and skill levels at a great price."
