Hollow Torches with Nitro Grips

The torches that go boom!

Nitro Grips quickly became our most popular upgrade and it is easy to see why. Precision needle roller bearings allow the torch body to spin freely inside a 3D printed handle. When you roll the torch across your body, or your other torch, the spinning wick sprays fuel outward and produces a dramatic boom effect that audiences love. Available wrapped or unwrapped.

The Highlights

  • Creates dramatic boom effects during performance
  • The most popular upgrade in our lineup
  • Wrapped version lets you roll one torch down the other for even more options
  • Lightweight and unobtrusive when not in use

Which Wick Size is Right for You?

1.5 inch or 2 inch. Here is how to decide.

Every torch in our range is available with either a 1.5 inch or 2 inch wick. They are the same thickness, just different lengths. The shorter 1.5 inch wick is easier to work with, gives you more room for vapor, and produces cleaner fire eats. The longer 2 inch wick gives you more burn time and a slightly bigger visual. The 1.5 inch is the size Tom uses personally, and the one we recommend for the majority of performers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our torches? Here are the answers to the most common ones.

Hollow torches, sometimes called fire wands or fire sticks, are fire eating props with a tubular aluminium body rather than a solid rod. Beneath the wick, the tube is sealed and has small precision-drilled holes. These holes provide an additional way to draw fuel vapor through the body of the torch. Hollow torches can do everything a standard torch can, but they also open up extra techniques and a more convenient method for collecting vapor.

Standard fire eating torches have a solid body, which means the only way to collect vapor is directly from the wick. Hollow torches give you an additional option. Small holes beneath the wick let you draw vapor up through the body of the torch, giving you a more convenient and often safer way to collect it. They also unlock a handful of techniques that are simply impossible with solid torches.

Fire wands, fire sticks, and hollow torches are all names used to describe similar fire eating props. Our hollow torches are specifically designed for vapor manipulation, with precision-drilled holes and hand-stitched para-aramid wicks that set them apart from generic alternatives.

Our torches use an 8mm aluminium body and 100% para-aramid fibre wicks that are hand-stitched with no exposed metal fasteners. When choosing any fire eating torch, make sure the wicks are 100% aramid fibre. Cheaper wicks containing fibreglass or ceramic compounds should be avoided. The body should always be metal, not wood, regardless of what it is wrapped in.

Nitro Grips are 3D printed handles with precision needle roller bearings seated inside them. When attached to a torch, the torch body spins freely within the handle. This means when you roll the torch across your body or against your other torch, the wick spins fast enough to spray fuel outward and create a dramatic boom effect.

We offer a 1.5 inch and a 2 inch wick. Same thickness, different length. The shorter 1.5 inch is easier to eat with, gives you more room for vapor, and produces cleaner results. The 2 inch gives you a longer burn and a slightly bigger visual. We recommend the 1.5 inch for most people. It is the size Tom uses personally and the one we switched to exclusively for our workshops after seeing a noticeable improvement in student success rates.

This is covered in detail in our free safety course, which is available at no cost through the Fire In Your Face Academy. Fuel choice is a critical safety topic and we want to make sure you understand it properly before you start working with fire.

Yes. Our torches are used by complete beginners and experienced professionals alike. The design is the same regardless of which option you choose, so you are not getting a lesser torch by starting with a more affordable option. If you are new to fire eating, we recommend starting with our classic bare metal torches and the 1.5 inch wick size.

Vapor manipulation is the skill of using fuel vapor to produce controlled fire effects beyond a basic fire eat. Think fireballs, human candles, and more. To learn how it works, check out the Fire In Your Face Academy.

The Fire In Your Face Academy is our online training platform covering fire eating and vapor manipulation from the ground up. It includes a free safety course to get you started and structured courses that take you through to advanced techniques. We also run in-person workshops across the UK if you prefer hands-on learning.
