5 minutes is a good time.

the only way you can get a slightly longer burn time is to spin slower so the fuel doesnt burn as fast.

and can i suggest you learn how to search , as this topic has been covered many times before. wink

Yup, 5 minutes is a LOOOOONG time.



One suggestion I have is to change your wick. Hybrid wicks can last up to twice as long as cathedrals. Keep in mind though, the last quarter of the burn will have very little fire. A better approach would be to prepare multiple sets of poi and trade off with your safety when they get low.



Edit: Doh! cross-post ARGH! Please post one thread in the future. smile
