Description
Mojura Fire Tech Fans, with wooden grips.
The goal of the Mojura Fire Fans range was to make fire fans that feel as comfortable and light-weight as practice fans, without metal grips that hurt your fingers, and without the need for welding, which inherently causes weak spots. The solution we came up with was machine cutting aluminium frames and compositing them into wooden grips finished in the style of a custom guitar.
This design has 5-wicks, which is generally considered the standard versatile fire tech fan wick configuration. They also have somewhat less fire than our 6-wick fire fans, and a little more than our 4-wick fire fans.
CHOOSING A GRIP STYLE:
Little Ring (38mm / 1.5″):
(AKA Extra-box-tech grip for USA styles)
We added these grips after realizing that some extra-techy spinners really want to put their 2 fingers into smaller holes. If you’re one of those people, and you prefer to do boxy-techy things with a tighter fit for your 2 fingers, then these are the grips for you.
Small Ring (51mm / 2″):
(AKA Box-tech grip for USA styles)
These are made to fit 3 fingers, or 2 large fingers.
If you like to perform box-techy manipulations that involve more jerky movements where you need to stall the fans at specific angles, then this is the grip for you.
Extra Medium Ring (63.5mm / 2.5″):
(AKA The Goldilocks Grip)
These are made for big hands with 3 fingers, or petite hands with 4 fingers.
Slightly more techy than the medium ring. Slightly more finger space than the small-ring. Possibly just right for the most in-between of all tech styles.
Medium-Ring (76mm / 3″):
(AKA Hybrid-tech grip for Jack-of-all styles)
These are made for 4 fingers, or 3 very large fingers. Having more ring to hold on to is better for swinging/weaving techniques and tosses than the small-ring grips, while there is still enough flat handle space to hold onto for stalls and plane-switches. This grip is trying to be the best of both worlds.
Big-Ring (89mm / 3.5″):
(AKA momentum tech for Russian styles)
If you prefer to spin your fans in a continuous flow, performing lots of weaves and fountains, or if you want to do a lot of tosses with your fans, then you want a nice big ring. A large hand-hole allows for wilder spinning momentum-tech movements, and is easier to catch in the air. Box-tech stalling and tutting/switching is less easy with this grip, but still possible, and the squared handle helps with that.
Available with coloured handles for an additional fee. Please note that custom painted grips will take longer to produce.
Features:
- 5 wicks made from 38mm (1.5″) high quality Kevlar, sewn with thread rather than screwed on, for minimal exposed metal.
- Wooden grips finished like a custom guitar for maximum comfort, using fire resistant sealants.
- Single-piece aluminium frames covered by the wood for minimal exposed metal to reduce heat radiation.
- Frames shaped with an organic petal-style aesthetic.
- Grips shaped for optimal finger placement, and layering at 90 degree increments.
- Weight balanced so the centre of mass matches with the centre of the Flow DNA logo.
- Side wicks aligned for wick balances, with the centre-of-mass directly between them.
- Middle wicks aligned directly back to the centre, for more wick-balancing goodness.
- Centre shaped for easier fishtails (careful though. The flames and metal gets hot. Wear gloves if you like fishtails)
- Flips and tosses become easier and more visually appealing with this centre-balanced design.*
- Made from engineering-quality materials. They can take a serious beating!*
- Available with coloured handles – you can even add sparkles if that satisfies your inner unicorn 😉
* While this birch plywood will not break unless you try really hard, we do not recommend juggling on harsh surfaces like bricks and concrete, as the drops may cause chips and marks on your fans.

***** Very Important *****
Please do not dip your wooden handles into any fuel. It might mess up the luthiery-style finish. Use a dry cloth to clean it, if you accidentally spill on the handle.
Also please do not dip your hand-crafted custom guitars into any liquid. That would be silly.
