I lost my fire cherry with a Fire devil way back in 96. But proud to say I recently passed on my fire addiction to my good friend Scott who had his first burn just last night.

I had my first burn last night. Dut was kind enough to lend me his wicks.
I was very timid at first, but now that I've done it I realize that it makes poi so much more fun. I'm going to get some wicks of my own at the first opportunity, and hopefully I will get some material worth posting in all the space they've given me.

I had my first burn last month. it was with my new lady and my mom. I had never shown my mom poi, or any other glowstick dance type stuff. she was blown away! i had a blast, myself. i wasn't scared at all, nor could i feel the heat. i've burned about a dozen times now.

I've never seen a supernova blow up, but if it's anything like my old chevy nova it'll light up the night sky!

Wahoooo!!!!! Had my first burn tonight and it was amazing. I absolutely loved the sound. Got to burn twice tonight and cannot wait until the next chance. Poi look much better now that they are charred a bit and not shiny new. What a rush!
Pics now posted in my gallery

my first burn was alright...but i used lighter fluid instead....it didn't help with the fact that the wicks burnt out within a week.....
I give hope to others but I keep none for myself.

well................after a few weeks with no fuel, i soaked my fire staff and for my first move i try'd a burn off................
OH MY GOD!!!!!! the flames where huge!!! 
vleast to say i caught it on my wrist with the hot end of the staff, but it's now wrapped in cling film with loads of moisturiser underneath to stop it drying out. (it's only a surface burn but it did sting)-----------------edit three days later----------------
