Problem With Kevlar Fire Tails

Hi

I don't seem to get a really long fire tail when using my kevlar poi chains. I dip the wicks in paraffin and then light them, but when swinging, i can't seem to get a very long tail.

Even when i'm swinging them at quite a pace, the effect doesn't seem to be the same as i have seen on some of the photos.

I am still new to Poi fire twirling, so maybe i am doing something wrong.

Kind Regards

Theuns

The photo's only have long fire trails because of the speed of the poi and length of time the camera shutter is open. In real life the effect is less pronounced, espically when close to your poi. From a little distance retinal delay will create some imaginary fire trails, but as with the camera these aren't 2 foot long flames, they're mostly optical illusions.

Don't worry, it looks impressive!!
