Dominique Botta replied to the discussion 'Has anyone tried the pele fire wicks from The Spinsterz? Any reviews would be helpful.'Dominique Botta replied to the discussion 'resolving the "what to wear" dilemma'"I always spin in a cotton shirt and jeans or jean shorts. Id be wary of just spinning in a nylon bra, but thats just me. Check your tags, I bet more clothes than you think are fire safe. Make sure they arent baggy or fringy though"
Dominique Botta replied to the discussion 'Help, sick feeling day after burning props?'"Iv had it happen with a lot of fire hooping as well, but the fans definitely exaggerated it. I actually mostly spin them... but a lot of it is close to my face. I figured there are 5 wicks on a hoop, 10 on a set of fans, so one fan burn is 2 hoop…"
Dominique Botta replied to the discussion 'Help, sick feeling day after burning props?'"Nope, not a mix, in fact I think there is only one person in the group that spins with lamp oil and they are never really around."
StudentTangled Macrame replied to the discussion 'Help, sick feeling day after burning props?'
"I've noticed I'm a LOT more likely to feel weird after spinning my fans than other fire props. I figure it's because I keep the fans closer to my face and they're spinning less, so the fumes are closer and denser....if that makes…"

"hhmmm Tedward would be able to tell you what could be going on. I've never experienced this after a heavy burn session and I use only white gas.
Are you using the white gas in the metal coleman's canister and are you…"
Sairz ward replied to the discussion 'Help, sick feeling day after burning props?'"I've not burned yet, but what you're describing does sound like you're making yourself ill from inhaling gas fumes. You're also probably exposing yourself to some level of like carbonmonoxide or dioxide... something carbony!!!…"

weird question for all you burners out there. After a night of heavy spinning, do you ever wake up the next day with a dizziness and weird stomach ache? At first I thought it was some new and improved hangover feature, but I even got it nights that I barely drank, and its always been when I have burned a significant amount (Ill call two-three burns with fans a significant amount because there are ten wicks Im exposed to). I went to a regular jam yesterday and burned my fans twice, and woke up…See More
Lisa Love replied to the discussion 'Fire fan grips?'"If you do this, I would recommended using more than one finger to spin around. group two or three together..."
Dominique Botta replied to the discussion 'Fire fan grips?'"I think I might have to spin in the bigger one, I found a picture and its just barely bigger than the girls finger."
Lisa Love replied to the discussion 'Fire fan grips?'"I spin in the smaller one, however, you can hold the larger one more loosely to incorporate "swinging" moves. I use this technique to do vertical weaves from "dayside" i.e front; to "night side" i.e. back of my…"
Dominique Botta replied to the discussion 'Fire fan grips?'"can you spin using the main circle, or must you use the smaller one?"

StudentKacie Knight replied to the discussion 'Sacred Flames fire hoops and taped polypro Q's'
"I have a taped polypro from sacred flames (not a fire hoop, but I am going to put quick wicks on it).
I love it.
I find fully taped HDPE far too rigid (I have one from Sacred Flames as well).
I would go with the polypro. No way no to love it. Her…"
