5th May, 2018 Buy Pair of Spider Fire Fans 2inch Wick Kit - Make Your Own Get what you pay for "I have bought 4 sets of HOP fire fans in my life. Yes, they're cheap fans but they are unbalanced, and Everytime I order them they come bowed to the point where I can't even submit a photo of the damages because it's more of a feel then a problem you can see. They're packaged not in a box with their fragile frames and weak metal, but in bubble wrap and plastic, which obviously isn't strong enough because my two pairs of lotus fans and my two sets of spider web fans came bowed. As a serious performer I don't buy fans to have them past me a few months. The fans came with the smallest amount of Kevlar thread, I had to go buy more. One time I bought a pair that was even missing a wick! I've performed with these fans from the beginning so I don't like ragging on them, but now that I've spent some time with some other brands of fans, I suggest that you go with another company."

Reply from Home of Poi: "customer had only just received these, Our support crew sorting out a free replacement. All parcels come with insurance incase of damage to the goods. In store we use around 4 meters in total for two fans. In the spool we include 10m which is more then double that is required as shown in our tutorial video. "

30th July, 2016 Buy Pair of Spider Fire Fans 2inch Wick Kit - Make Your Own Review "I own a pair of medium lotus fans but I decided to give these a try as well. They are much better for Russian style technical spinning compared to the lotuses. They are light and easy to spin, although they tend to bend if they are dropped. I don't really see the purpose of those small finger holes, especially if you're doing tech, but they don't get in the way either. All in all, a decent product, considering the price." L., Romania.

30th April, 2018 Buy Pair of Spider Fire Fans 2inch Wick Kit - Make Your Own Great but not perfect "For the most part I am so happy with these! The design is amazing, balance and weight is really ideal and everything seems really high quality so far, the spider fans are a joy to spin. The value is also amazing and I feel a little more connected to my fans after stitching the wicks on myself. However, one of the needles was broken when I received it and there wasn't enough thread in the kit to stitch everything as thoroughly as I would have liked so I would suggest HoP to include at least another meter of thread on the spool :)" Alice Bauman, USA.

27th January, 2017 Buy Pair of Spider Fire Fans 2inch Wick Kit - Make Your Own Bent Frame "I love my fans. They are well built and easy to wick. However, When i got them in the mail, part of the frame was bent and had to be bent back into place. I suggest using a large flat rate durable box to prevent that from happening. Overall, Great company and products! I can't wait to spin these !" Sheona T, USA. [Verified Buyer] BRONZE Member since Jan 2017

15th December, 2016 Buy Pair of Spider Fire Fans 2inch Wick Kit - Make Your Own What a price! "Arrived in less than two weeks, lightweight, and it really pays off to order the DIY option. They burn like crazy, it'll take a bit of time to get used to, since I worked with larger fans before(more distance). The grip works well for spinning, a bit less for static/closed grip moves, but then again, I should just practice more :) My only concern is their durability. But for this price, I can easily order a new pair if I abuse them too much. Oh the joy of blatant consumerism :P" Tina, Slovenia. [Verified Buyer] BRONZE Member since Nov 2016

4th November, 2023 Buy Pair of Spider Fire Fans 2inch Wick Kit - Make Your Own Great replacement fans "Was looking to replace my older fans. These are lightweight and were delivered fast. All the material needed to put them together was included. They were easy to assemble and fit into my old fire fan bag. Will take a bit to get used to since my older fans have a smaller ring and these have a bigger grip ring. Overall, great purchase." Ara, USA. [Verified Buyer] SILVER Member since May 2010

It is not too bad considering the covid situation. The fans were in perfect condition and everything was there. Also, when you order fans, they give you tutorials videos and video on how to thread the wicks. I'm very please." Mireillebergeron27, Canada. [Verified Buyer] SILVER Member since Jul 2020

22nd January, 2020 Buy Pair of Spider Fire Fans 2inch Wick Kit - Make Your Own 5 Wick Spider Fans DIY Kit "Love these fans! This is my first 5-wick set after getting started with two sets of 3 wick fans. The DIY kit is very easy to use, it comes with everything you need including an extra upholstery needle in case the first one breaks, and the tutorial video is very easy to follow! The fans themselves have good equal weight distribution and the 3 finger rings allow for more variations of moves than with just 1 finger ring." Annamintzphotography, USA.

30th January, 2019 Buy Pair of Spider Fire Fans 2inch Wick Kit - Make Your Own Love them!! "These fans are great! Although they may not be a sturdy or fancy as some of the more expensive brands of fans, these are great for beginners. They have withstood a decent amount of throws and drops. The frame gets a little bent, but never so much so that it cant be bent back into shape. My one complaint is that there was not enough kevlar thread to truly secure the wicks well, and I therefore had to go out and buy more of my own." Victoria.w.512, USA.

29th October, 2018 Buy Pair of Spider Fire Fans 2inch Wick Kit - Make Your Own White spider fans "Good amount of kevlar thread to do all 10 precut wicks. I recommend not doing them all in one go-kevlar is tough. Fingers will cramp, but it's well worth the discount to DIY!! Came with one curved needle. White paint is solid, not thin or patchy. Shows up well in dim light. Already dropped, no damage yet. Well weighted with the wicks on. Looking forward to performing with these lit. Poi skills translate straight into tech fans but a lot of the higher stuff doesn't because palm direction matters more than anything. The open handle is great for spins. The size is great, large enough to hold ALL THE FIRE, but not hit yourself too easily. So much fire... Thanks for the great fast shipping to NC, USA!" Brenemansl, USA.

11th October, 2018 Buy Pair of Spider Fire Fans 2inch Wick Kit - Make Your Own Best intoductory fire fans, ever "If you're looking to get fire fans, but not sure what to get - sew your own wicks kit is the most economical option. Sure they are not as sturdy as other, much more expensive fans, but for their price you can buy a kit every 18-20 month (this is about how long the wicks lasted, also frame gets bent and chipped)" Seiakuma, USA.
