I can't vouch for whatever kind the above poster has, but I love innertube poi. They're cheap, flow well at almost any weight, and are extremely customizable. They're my favorite play poi for sure (if unforgiving as practice poi).

Currently, just a pair of home-made sock poi and a pair of LED poi (no idea what brand).

I also do some fun juggling/manipulation with a tray (like one from a fast food joint).

I sent an email asking the same thing last year, EVERYONE START EMAILING THEM!!!! either that or should we start a petition on this forum...?

Emails are better - the more effort it takes the more effect it has, because it indicates more interest.

Carrier pigeons would be better yet, oh yes.

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

Ouch o.O

What type of poi are you using? Do you know what the weight is?

they're innertube poi, but most of the time i use my sock poi because the innertube hurt when you hit yerself with them, and i have not idea how heavy they are.

but by gueass would be around 100 grams perhaps a bit more or less

Ouch o.O

1 x fire poi
1 x glow poi

and a load of hardware for making my own fire poi. The only missing thing out of my tool box is the wicking

1 glowpoi, flag poi, sock poi, fire poi
Practice wicks for working on designs, either gonna make my own Isis head for fire, or another one I came up with.
I think 44 more uncracked glowsticks and 2 in the freezer.
And don't forget my fire double staffs.

The only luck is bad luck.

@ liquidtrance: veil poi, a smushing of bellydancing veils and poi, which are kinda like ginormous very fine tail poi. See here, she's dancing with them from the start but the poiness becomes apparent at about 1.00

I'm getting a ropedart I've decided And after that I want either a contact staff of meteor. I'm leaning towards contact staff because I want to have experience in both single staff and poi before meteor so it's easier.

The only luck is bad luck.
