Torch Poi cause they're 3 tools in one! You can't whip and catch a snake...
Unfortunately I didn't get my first burn with mine on film, but they're TONS of fun, bet they'd be even more fun with someone who does fans like yourself!

Torch Poi seconded, cause that's what I'm starting to get into, haven't had a burn yet cause I still haven't found the parts to build my fire pair, but they're still pretty fun from the pairs I've used off of my friends.

If yo like torch stuff then torches. If not so much, then SNAKESSS!!! But not the ones from HoP because they're kinda shitty.

Snakes are really just poi, they do not add anything new to your spinning.
Torch poi have more variations and possibilities for interesting play.

I agree with aston, snakes are just a different visual and lack of counterbalance.

Hmm sounds like torches are the way to go then! I'll let you guys know how it all works out x)
Vinny, good to know about the HOP ones. I wasnt thrilled that they were ball chain either.

Just purchased the torch poi!
Along with a section staff carrying case. I dont do staff but what I'm gonna do is use it to carry my breakdown hoop, poi, fuel, and quick wicks so I can essentially have a fire hoop, a regular hoop, poi and fuel all with me in one little bag x) <3 <3 <3 HOP!! PLAYA HERE I COME!! If you can't stand the heat, get out of my way.

Yeah it's not so much the ball chain as it is the snake itself. The ball chain with it I could care less. Less hardware for something that doesn't need anything special. I've use them. They're fun, but not compared to other ones you could get for the same price. Also they have all that heaping hunk of metal at the top. I hope the torch poi are fun! If I ever get into club stuff I might get a pair, but I'm fine for fire stuff right now.
