7 Wick Fire Fan

The 7 Wick Fire Fan

This pair of 7 Wick Fire Fans are the ultimate choice for a fire spinning show. These medium-sized fire fans have 7 heads arranged in a classic shape with easily replaceable Kevlar or Ceramic wicks. 7 Wick Fire Fans are lightweight, well balanced, sturdy and the wicks burn exceptionally bright, right down to their very ends. Our Fire Fans have a spinning ring that’s perfect for hand, and even work for finger fire spinning. They are constructed from thick steel rod so you won’t harm your hands. When you’re fire fan spinning for hours, why not make it comfortable! There’s also a half-ring that lets you hold the fan tight when you aren’t spinning it. There are two ring diameters to choose from, because hand sizes differ.

Kevlar Wicks vs Ceramic Wicks

Ceramic takes more fuel than Kevlar so flame is bigger and burnouts are bigger. And due to more fuel, burn time is also longer. Ceramic rope is more fragile than Kevlar. It’s not recommended to drop it too often. We also do not recommend using ceramic rope for fleshing and eating. It’s rough and scratchy and usually has higher temperatures.

Preparing ceramic wicks for first use: The important thing to remember with ceramic wicks is to burn once before spinning. Just soak with fuel and fire without spinning. After that ceramic wicks become strong and are ready for use.

Kevlar is a good choice for an all-around wick. It can take drops to the ground much easier than ceramic and is known to last longer than ceramic. Choose Kevlar if you have any concerns about dropping your props more than once in a while!
