Chill people. Don't be throwin judgements all over the place. It's only me who has to sweep up later and leave later than everyone else which means I have to lock up as well, and that's always annoying because the lock on the door only works if you hold it in the right place, but cos it's winter the door expands and you can't get it shut unless you slam it so it misaligns.
Anyway. That was all a lie.
It says on the packaging, poipoi are not liable for any injury third party blah blah blah by accidental or misuse of this product.
It means if he want's to be a human inferno - he can :P
I do suggest putting safety first though. Aimee is right, third degree burns are a pretty hefty price to pay for looking cool. |

I'm just saying is all..
Ben in your mind do you honestly see 3 headed fire poi suitable toys for a first time fire spinner?
It's alot of fire.
And you're stuck with that fire everytime you want to light up.
It's a huge amount of flame to be playing with everytime, and because of this it makes some moves bloody scary to do.
I sometimes feel quite restricted using mine, as I can't do some moves as comfortably as I'd like with them.
My 3 headed babies only come out for shows as they are so cumberson and heavy, and rather intimidating!
Just a suggestion, get some single head poi.
Even small monkey fists, because of the way they are construsted hold alot of fuel and will give off a large flame.

I guess we just don't know a lot about you. When asking which to buy, if you'd described your current status i.e beginner, intermediate, advanced etc people woulda been able to help you out choosing poi better!
I reccommend the MonkeyFists. Kickass things. |

So, you've spun fire before? If so how long have you been lighting up.
I wasn't assuming you're crap. I'm just trying to make sure you stay safe.
A human inferno? Maybe not, but you run the risk of some serious burns.
Not to harm your ego here but you will get just a little bit scared spinning them for a little while. Everybody does. Its a hella lot of fire!
Now dont throw the dangerous card at me. Dangerous isnt cool. It makes you look stupid and you put yourself and others at risk if
So okay you ignore all that and decide to buy them anyway. Everytime you want to spin fire you are stuck with 6 flames. You can't just dip the end ones as they will degrade faster than the two higher up.
Just consider this. Please |

His first spin was fire but he doesnt have a lot of experience with flames.
@Ben People arent saying your crap mate, they are giving you advice as people who are more experienced at fire then you. Tomorrow I will show you the third degree burn i got (Not off Poi) you can see the scar it left. THen imagine your whole body covered in them. Dont be big headed mate, trust what they are saying, you say yourself that my Nightburst look good enough in the dark, monkey fists will be more than good enough for you mate. I dont want to come to college and find you in hospital.
So take Amy's advice mate, get some monkey fists, hell go for the heaviest ones you can find and nock yourself out. I was checking out homeofopi and people on there were saying thrtee heads arent actually that good, becuase its an overload of fire. With the monkey fists you can keep your style and not go to the morgue. |

ben mate do what i have done you can buy monkey fists that have 2 attachments so you can add more fire heads to it im startin off with gettin one pair then buildin my way up to 3 pairs so all you need is 3 different size chains so then you can choose how many you want which i think is a winner. but fire safety is an important issue many ppl (including myself) were complacent about usin fire poi the first time i used em i hit myself in the face luckily i didnt burn myself (i did lose and eyebrow tho and a small patch of hair) i always wear a beanie now got a pic of my mate as well after he hit himself ironically he is cally munky and got hit in the face by a munkyfist. but yeh only you know whats good for you and just go with what you want |
