[quote=Midkiff]well thats a bit different my idea what i meant was like the led glow ball poi but much smaller like the size of the wooden handles [/quote] I kinda realised that but was distracted. Most read made led balls are pretty big, to allow for batteries, circuit, shock absorbtion and light diffusion. There are a heap of really small lights, some fairly sophisicated, that the glove light show ravers use (photon etc), I've never looked closely at them but if you could enclose one in]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:01:06 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/908030/My_Favorite_Poi_Knots.html#Post908030 Posted by aston:

I've been considering sewing up a set of my own flag poi as well. My idea is to use my fire chains (oval link with swivels and single loop handles) and I plan on sewing a flag that slips over it and brings the chain up around the first "right angle" of the flag, to weight the entire leading edge. It might sound a little vague now, but when i get them constructed i'll be sure to post pictures/tutorial for them. ]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:31:30 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/907841/How_many_toys_do_you_own.html#Post907841 Posted by eca:
[quote=OuchStaff]I'm not very good with poi at all but they do have nice weight to them and isolations are rather easy with them even as noobie poi spinner [/quote] What type of poi are you using? Do you know what the weight is?]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:49:16 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/907786/flowtoy_vs.html#Post907786 Posted by Mother_Natures_Son:
I've had issues with the flowtoys durability, concentrate being a 1 piece item look to be more durable... and having seen both concentrate and flowtoys in person, I must say, the concentrate poi look much nicer to my eye. ^_^]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:05:14 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/907782/eye_poi.html#Post907782 Posted by Midkiff:
ok i saw some led poi called eye poi they have a program where they can spell words in the spin from how they arrange the leds but havent seen anything on them being available for purchase anyone have any info?]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:33:50 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/907396/This_is_my_new_Fire_Poi.html#Post907396 Posted by liquidtrance:
carefull, are the chain links welded like the chain you get from hop? a lot of twist-ovel chains like that for clothes etc aren't and can fail under to much heat&force without warning :o ]]> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:39:52 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/906938/prefered_type_of_fire_poi_head.html#Post906938 Posted by Sister Eleven:
Monkey fist heads without a solid core (I use a knot in the wick as the core; awesome fuel capacity), twisted oval link chain, and a lamp oil/coleman's mix. I seem to be tending towards shorter chains lately from about two feet now down to 18" or so.]]> Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:15:51 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/906885/Does_HOP_sell_Flomass.html#Post906885 Posted by Sister Eleven:
Flowmass looks nicer and goes on better. HoP's weight sleeves are cheaper and 10g heavier, but you need to do something to tighten the slit end (I just use a rubber band; if you don't want something opaque, you can probably find clear elastic hair ties that will work). That's pretty much all there is to the trade-off. Personally, I would go for the weight sleeves. They're not pretty to look at, but when you're spinning no one is going to see them.]]> Fri, 19 Feb 2010 05:59:02 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/906867/Cone_poi_with_LEDs_Good_or_Bad.html#Post906867 Posted by Jameth:
Afterthought: the led balls may not fit inside the HOP cone poi anyway, unless HOP have changed their pattern in the last year or so: I have a pair of the cone poi on swivels (operated on the handles to make them less clunky), the cone is too narrow to take a tenis ball, much less an LED ball. Which is fine for practice - rice is much softer - but would stuff things up for Adrian's purpose. Ask support before you buy them...]]> Fri, 19 Feb 2010 01:14:17 NZDT
