Wrapped devil sticks

if wrapped devil stix hav fire burning on them, wat makes them not slip of the control stix. normal devil stix hav rubber in the middle bt this cnt b the case with the wrapped stix as the rubber would melt. anyone knw the answer?

the hand sticks?

i think what you're talking bout is flower sticks as oppose to actual devilsticks, flowersticks usually have a rubber kinda grip wrapped round them devilsticks dont

flowerstick


devilstick


it is the silicon on the handsticks that provides the grip as oppose to the covering on the devilstick

you can however get a fire flowerstick is you prefer that

I have a set of fire devilsticks (They arent quite flowersticks or devilsticks, not tapered at all so probably more of a flowerstick) and they really don't have much grip at all.

Both my mate and I barely use ours anymore, personally i find it frustrating compared to my normal sets. More practice would fix that.

I did get some rubber strips from a place nearby a while ago which i wound around the devilsticks which finished about 5cm from the wicks (guessing) and they never fell off, melted etc... and did seem to provide more grip. I found one of the biggest problems was the fuel running down the stick during fueling making it ultra slippery, once that gets on to your handsticks you lose nearly all grip.

Just my .02c though

you should spin off befoer you light up.

Mayby I am not understanding how you might spin off Basstones but if you fuel one end and swing off that end and alternate to the other end there should not be run off.

I have to fuel my staff that way since it doesn't break down and I never get fuel running down the shaft even if I only swing off a little bit to make for a good burn off. Then again everyone is different and has their own techniques/experiences.

Ok thanks for clarifying!

good way to practise fire devilsticks is to use normal devilsticks in the rain

im still holding out for those flower sticks josh showed me - the fire ones. which are amazing and i desperately want ....

i might have to get Hyperlight to make some devilsticks lol there hard to make LED ones of

i saw the k9 devilstick at southern lights and was quite impressed, worth checking out i think

There is another really awsome Flower type devilstick that is a hollow Fiberglass tube stuffed with Fiber optic line and lit by two separate LED lights that were totally awsome that my friend sells. I tried to find a link to post but every time I go to the home page and click enter it takes me to a totally different site. Maybe you guys might have some luck with it, the manufacturer is called Zip Zap LLC and the link that is supposed to work for their website is:
