The history of those is that Nick Woosly and Banyan were in Bali, or Costa Rica, I don't remember which and they saw something similar, so banyan modified the design and came up with those

Probably Bali. The style of loose flappy tie pants (apparently more commonly called "wrap pants") I like, and that I based my ironic spinning pants on, are Balinese, and the Action Pants have much the same fit, minus the sides that fly open if you move around too much.

1 pair of fire snakes 1 pair of fire poi 1 pair of sock poi
The fire snakes were made by myself, just ordered some short leashes, 40 feet of kevlar rope, and some metal rings and wove them. They are shorter than typical snakes to make internal moves possible, the only negative i saw to snakes was the length limits movement so i made mine short enough to prevent that. Ever seen a buzzsaw with fire snakes?

Aww, you ordered the Isis fire poi just as I did! You will LOOOVVVVEE them! I have never used a better feeling pair of any type of poi in my life  The only thing is I didn't like the handles, so I put on pro series single loop handles from good ol' HoP. Their chain is so light it feel like plastic o0

A 220g mountain bike inner tube cut open and wrapped around a piece of rope. Very heavy, very hard, but I dig them.
(edit: a bonus feature of this style of poi if you're hard on poi like me, is that they're practically indestructible.)

I have found a comfortable and versatile grip with them. I put one loop on my ring finger with the other look facing away from my hand. Then I bring it to the inside of my hand. I find the thickness of double loop more satisfying then single. As for new toys, I am not getting anything new so much as I am upgrading to either knob handles from HoP or golf ball handles soon, and a new pair of double loop pro handles with new shiny swivels.

I have the HoP ball handles if that's what you mean, I put swivels from FireMecca into the eyebolt and they're great. I use them for my small fire poi. It's one sleek set I must say  But I like the chain that comes with the Isis heads better, it's just insanely light and better for orbitals as well as black.

+4 inner tube poi. One that matches the previous pair I mentioned, three with counterweighted handles (made with HoP's yellow rope--had extra, needed to use it somehow). The counterweights are about 75g each to keep up with the heads, making them kinda awkward (1.5" wide), but I think they're still manageable.
Next stop: Sol flowlights.
