The Karaka Fire Whipâ„is made of Kevlar and has an absorbent core which holds plenty of fluid. We use stainless steel for the handle and shield as it does not conduct heat and is stronger and more durable. A rubber hand grip provides good control and comfort.
Can the Whip Thong be changed?
Yes the design is made especially for being able to change the thong over to a new one or even a longer one.
Do you sell parts for the fire whips?
Yes we do we sell all sizes of Fire Whips in the thong which have all the attached parts to put together with an existing handle. We also sell the handle, fall and poppers separately for replacement also. We have an instructional video available on the site for changing over the falls and crackers.
For safety please always check over all your fire gear before lighting and performing.
Will I need to change my Thong and crackers often?
This will all depend on the amount of use these Whips get and if they are looked after correctly. Unfortunately with Poppers/crackers due to the nature of the use on this product they will need to be replaced often. The thong however if looked after correctly and not used on or for whipping hard surfaces should last much longer. When the flame on your Whips starts to get to a flickering stage, this is when you will need to put the flame out straight away as any longer the fuel will stop burning and the thong will start to smoulder which can lead to deterioration quickly.
What is the best way to put out a fire whip?
We always recommend to be aware of your surroundings (such as distance from a crowd or building, dry grass or hazardous ignition pints) , so having safety gear set up is always key. Using a damp wet towel to quickly smother the flame.

15th October, 2019 Single Replacement 7ft Karaka Fire Whip Thong Whip thongs "Delivery was fast, customer service was responsive and HOP is one of the only places to find performance level fire whips at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend and will continue shopping with HOP." Aszyikowsk, USA. [Verified Buyer] SILVER Member since May 2018
10th October, 2018 Single Replacement 6ft Karaka Fire Whip Thong Great beater whip "These are fantastic whips with about a minutes worth of burn time with white gas, while not being as easy to wield as a braided whip. The only BIG draw back is they will fall apart in about a year with regular use. The design flaw I see is how the thong connects to the fall. It s not really a fixable design flaw given these aren t traditionally designed and braided whips so energy doesn t move through the whip as elegantly as say a braided Kevlar whip would (braided will have a MUCH less intense burn and burn time). Given that, it puts more stress than it should into that key point. For the price however? I m happy to replace the thong once a year. Will likely just make my next thong based off these given the Karaka design is far simpler than a braided whip. Fire whips are NOT a cheap fire toy no matter what you try to do. From the fuel, storage, to keeping your equipment in good repair. Still, I wouldn t have it any other way." Kermit, USA. [Verified Buyer] GOLD Member since Feb 2016

10th October, 2018 Single Fire Whip 6ft Fire whip is where it's at "Fire whip is definitely a crowd pleaser! Holds lots of fuel and has a great crack! Be careful not to hit on concrete too much or kevlar will fray." Smoke, USA. [Verified Buyer] GOLD Member since Nov 2017
