Wick design discussions

Those poi are such a perfect weight when they're soaked ^_^ They're lighter than my practice heads. They have a perfect weight/drag ratio for me because everything just feels so... I can't really explain. But they are so epic. When I stopped to swing them back and forth the flame went up like 3ft!

give us a video then if they're that good ;0

I did give a video. It's right up there ^^^
Edit: nvm they're back a page not up I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NcxboGL6Lk

nice, give us an update after 20 burns or so, wanna see how they wear, there is a lot of 'empty' space in the design where the heat might degrade the wick much faster than normal, love the flame size though, even if it does f**k the kevlar it might still be worth it for performance use... well done!

The only empty space I see has nothing to do with the design but a fail on my part. I made it too loose At the top it stretched out and I can look through it. Next time I make them what I might do is get tape from fire mecca and use their big chain and have that run through from top to bottom and use that to connect it. THAT right there would make it last a lot longer! Also using thicker wick and not really thin wick folded in half

Also, to keep up one of the points of this thread. What are some idea's to do with FireMecca's 1/8" (3.2mm) Kevlar rope? OH MY GOD! I have an idea! Ummm, I got it as I was typing and oh my lord it would make one hell of a fire head! I'll have to check out how much it would cost me cause that rope is cheapy cheap cheap.

Nvm, even with that many layers wide, it would come out the size of a plastic laneyard

Add on: Ok I want to make some fire heads. What are different properties differentiating aramid core and fiberglass core wick rope? They have the same outer sheath.
