Death star poi are our largest fire poi to date with the largest wicks we sell (23 feet of kevlar/pair). The Death star wicks burn about 4:00 minutes on white alone, but have a 2 stage burn: 2 minutes of the biggest, scariest fireballs you can imagine, then another 2 minute of a smaller cathedral type burn. They can handle other fuels like cathedrals, but white gas seems to work best.
The materials used in all of Bearclaw's chains are the very best we can find. The high-carbon, stainless steel, ball chains cannot be found in most hardware stores, nor can the connectors made of the same material. The quick links are designed for chains of considerably larger torque than necessary for these poi, as are the bolts. The grips are made of Kevlar to provide the same strength as steel, yet provide responsive weight transfer to the user. The result, a set of chains rated at approximately 4 times the strength needed to perform most stunts with the wicks fully loaded.
Inspired by our "tall boy" Solaris wicks, the Death Stars come in two flavors too. Our original, big McNasty wicks, and the even nastier tall configuration. We make these with an equal weight of 1/5" wick and just add more stacks. Now your death stars can easily fit in a gallon can and might squeeze into the buckets in our Fuel Stations (one at a time :)
Sold in pairs, your choice of length.

Because different wicks have different heights, and chains have different types of connectors, we do not accept "chain length" for poi lengths. All poi measurements should be from the hand to the bottom of the wick. If you don't currently have poi, or aren't sure if they're the right size for you, just measure from wrist to armpit.
