Attachment options
🔗 Quicklink or Eyebolt ?
Quicklink :
the option to be able to switch wicks and ropes very easily. The downside is that it creates a slight wobble. The stalls and throws will be a little harder to have clean, but everything is still possible of course. If you're a beginner, this is a good option.Eyebolt :
Technora is directly attached to the metal piece sticking out of the wick, providing superior feeling and absolutely no wobble, similar to a Contact Poi. You won't be able to switch the wicks and will have to be more careful with soaking.Technora Diameter
6 mm (Single-layered) — Flexible
Soft and super comfortable. Our most flexible option, which feels close to cotton rope poi.
Great for flowers, 3-beat weaves, body tracing, isolations, fast styles thanks to single-layer Technora.
We recently switched back to a softer Technora version after popular demand.
7 mm ≃ (5 mm Double-layered) — Rigid
More stable for stalls and throws because of the two rope layers.
Still soft in the hands, slightly stiffer. Less wobble when throwing, still great for spinning.
Why Technora?
Better feel :
Natural sensation, identical to Contact Poi. Much better feeling compared to chain, you'll finally be able to perform all your technical moves with the same ease as your training Poi.Safer performance :
No hot metal in contact with your skin.Lightweight & strong :
Weight is much better balanced between wick, rope and handles. With responsible use, Technora generally lasts longer than the wicks themselves.Important :
Never soak the Technora in fuel. Avoid letting it burn on the ground without movement for more than 10 seconds. Technora handles flames very well as long as it stays in motion, otherwise heat builds up and can degrade the rope quickly. Choreographies and prop extinctions must be adapted accordingly.👉 Need Fire heads only? Click here

Head Size
Monkey Fist :
60 mm x 60 mm | 135 gr | 4 – 5 min burn timeHandle Choice
PX3 by PLAY — Classic, simple, adjustable weight. 7 gr
The most basic and efficient knob.
With ropes up to 10 mm, there is enough space to secure the rope with a simple knot, allowing you to adjust the total length yourself if needed.
Washers can be added to increase weight, add a note if needed (1 washer = 3 gr).
Pom Grips by LanternSmith — Soft rubber, ergonomic. 16 gr
A refined version of the PX3. Slightly heavier and more grippy, with a very pleasant texture in the hand.
Perfect for small hands and 2 poi in 1 hand work.
Careful : they don't like long exposure to fuel. If left in contact with fuel-soaked heads, they may absorb fuel and become unusable.
LED Handles by UltraPoi — Colorful and rechargeable. 26 gr
Can NOT fit Technora 12 mm. Rechargeable. Multiple light patterns. Balanced weight and texture.
Want to see your handles during night throws? Want more visuals on stage?
When spinning fire poi, the audience often can't see the handles, neither do you. These fix that.
Designed for poi spinners, jugglers, and flow artists who want a durable, bright, and versatile LED handle.
How to choose the right poi length?
The right length depends on your body (arm extended, thumb to chest) and your spinning style: shorter for speed and sharp stops, longer for a slower, more grounded flow.
When in doubt, go longer. You can shorten a rope, you cannot add length. We made this tab to give some reference of the average our customers like, but personal experience and preference go first.
We have a much more complete blog article about this topic: HERE
| Your height | Short Poi | Average Poi | Long Poi |
|---|---|---|---|
| 160 cm - 5'3" | 51 cm - 20" | 56 cm - 22" | 61 cm - 24" |
| 170 cm - 5'7" | 54 cm - 21" | 59 cm - 23" | 64 cm - 25" |
| 180 cm - 5'11" | 57 cm - 22.5" | 62 cm - 24.5" | 67 cm - 26.5" |
| 190 cm - 6'3" | 60 cm - 23.5" | 65 cm - 25.5" | 70 cm - 27.5" |
If your height falls between two rows, do a quick rule of three. You're a fire spinner, you can handle this.

Fire Safety
Soak 90% of the head, let the rest absorb naturally. Never soak longer than 2–3 seconds. If fuel drips from the wick, it's already too much. Even on the first burn.
Never let the poi burn without moving for more than 10–15 seconds. Technora can handle fire well while in movement.
Be careful if you have PomGrip, Silicone or LED handles. These can get damaged if kept together with your wicks. Fuel can transfer and degrade the handles permanently. Store your props in a dry place out of direct sunlight: UV slowly degrades the wicks.
Never perform with fire alone: a dedicated safety assistant and a ready-to-use fire blanket are non-negotiable.
