The Hollow Fire Eating Vapor Torch is a specialized fire eating torch designed for experienced performers practicing vapor-pull techniques. Its hollow construction allows fuel vapor to travel through the center of the torch body, opening up techniques and visual effects that aren’t possible with a conventional solid fire eating torch.

This style of vapor torch was inspired by designs originally pioneered by Kiwamu Miyakubo and later refined by performers Shade Flamewater and Adam Lobo. It is purpose-built for trained fire eaters looking to expand beyond traditional extinguishes, transfers, and other foundational techniques.

Hollow Design for Vapor Techniques

The defining feature of this torch is its hollow aluminum body. Rather than using a solid shaft, the open center creates a pathway through the torch that can be used for specialized vapor-pull techniques.

This makes the Hollow Vapor Torch fundamentally different from a standard fire eating torch. It should not be treated simply as a lighter alternative to a solid torch. Its construction is intended specifically for performers who understand how to safely work with fuel vapor and have received appropriate instruction in these techniques.

7075 Aluminum Construction

The torch body is made from hollow 7075 aluminum tubing, providing a combination of strength, low weight, and maneuverability. Its approximately 20 inch overall length provides comfortable working distance while maintaining the control needed for fire eating techniques.

Choose Your Wick Size

The Hollow Vapor Torch is available with either 1.5 inch (38 mm) or 2 inch (50 mm) pure Kevlar wick. Both versions use para-aramid wick without fiberglass, making them suitable for performers who specifically prefer pure Kevlar construction for fire eating.

The two wick sizes allow you to choose the flame and wick profile that best suits your preferences and performance style.

Fuel Recommendations

These torches are designed for use with white gas. Alcohol, lamp oil, kerosene, biofuels, and other alternative fuels are not recommended for this torch.

Fuel choice is particularly important when working with fire eating and vapor techniques. Do not substitute fuels simply because they are commonly used with other types of fire props.

Sold Individually

Each Hollow Fire Eating Vapor Torch is sold individually. Fire eating torches are commonly used as a pair, so order a quantity of two if you want a matching pair.

For Trained Fire Eaters Only

Fire eating and vapor-pull techniques involve significant risks, including burns, fuel exposure, inhalation hazards, and accidental ignition. These torches are intended for trained performers who understand proper fueling, handling, extinguishing, and fire safety procedures.

If you are new to fire eating, we strongly recommend learning in person from an experienced instructor rather than attempting to teach yourself advanced techniques. You can also read our What Is Fire Eating? guide for an introduction to the discipline.

Before using any fire prop, review our Fire Safety for Flow Arts guide, Fire Prop Maintenance Guide, and Safety Disclaimer.

Flow toys are props and tools used in flow arts, which is a movement based art-form that involves object manipulation. Flow props are extensions of your body and tools for self expression.

Despite being called “toys”, flow toys are meant for everyone and you will find that a majority of flow artists are actually adults! Contemporary flow arts include many modalities like dance, martial arts, or just “free-flow.”

The best flow toy to start with is the one that you’re most excited to learn. Although some props might be more difficult to learn than others, this differs greatly from one person to another. We found that the more excited you are to learn a specific prop, the more likely you will be to practice and learn quickly.

Stick props like dragon staff, contact staff, or spin staff can be easier for some since its a more static prop that you can hold onto. Rope props like poi and rope dart require more plane control at the beginning but are also much easier to travel with. Others like flow stars and pixel whips have their own kind of movements that don’t really fall into the other two categories we mentioned. But they’re super popular for ravers and festival goers!

We have a feeling you’ll end up owning more than one type of prop though so regardless of what your friend thinks is the best flow toy to start with, just get whatever you’re most excited to learn!

Fire dancing carries some inherent risks, but if you follow all of our fire safety instructions the risks are very avoidable. We recommend feeling super comfortable with a flow toy before lighting it on fire for the first time.

If you’re new to flow arts, we also recommend getting a daytime practice prop (or even LED prop) since you might be dropping your flow toy a lot when you’re first learning. The Kevlar on fire props can deteriorate much more quickly from repetitive drops, so practice props are ideal to keep them safe.

We have fire, LED, and daytime versions of most of our main props. Even if you can only afford one version and end up starting with a fire prop, they can be protected with wick covers. No matter what type you have, we recommend practicing on soft ground like grass to protect them as much as possible.

After you read the fire safety guide linked above and before lighting up you fire tool, please also read through our safety disclaimer.

We ship our products Monday-Friday from Los Angeles, CA, USA. Many of our listed products are ready-to-ship unless we have to assemble them, which can add a day or two to process. That being said, we ship out orders in the order they are placed within 1-2 business days (with some exceptions like holiday seasons). 

Once shipped, we use USPS for orders in the USA and usually UPS for all international orders. Ground shipping in the US usually takes about 3-5 business days from shipping date, while priority shipping can be between 1-3 business days from shipping date. These are estimations and not guarantees as USPS might have delays, but reach out to us if you are looking for more specific time frames!

We can’t promise any specific shipping timeframes for international delivery as customs can cause many unforeseen delays.

Of course! We’re just a text, email, or DM away from being able to answer any question you have. All of our contact details can be found here or you can scroll down to find the buttons in our footer. We’re active on social media too so we are pretty easy to get a hold of!

Explore our range of fire torches, specifically chosen for fire performers, dancers, and flow artists looking to enhance their routines. Our selection includes Palm Torches, Fire Eating Torches, Fire Swinging Torches, and Fire Breathing Torches, each suited for different styles and techniques.

Palm Torches are popular for both technical and expressive performances. With attachment options like handles, straps, and elastic loops, they offer comfort and flexibility. Their compact size makes them ideal for indoor use, accentuating dance movements.

Fire Swinging Torches are designed for dynamic swinging and flow inspired by dance or martial arts. Some models can be juggled, though not all are weighted for juggling. They can also double as fire breathing torches.

Fire Breathing Torches are used for fire breathing performances, facilitating safe ignition of expelled fuels. Due to significant risks, fire breathing should only be performed by trained professionals.

Fire Eating Torches are classic performance tools, typically hollow vapor torches. Performers use them to extinguish flames orally or transfer flames through vapor manipulation. This skill also requires professional training and strict safety measures.

Additionally, martial arts weapons have been around for ages and now been adopted into the flow arts and performance scene. For this selection, we have swords and nunchucks.

Martial arts style flow props can be spun in more traditional styles of movement, but they are now also used in a more interpretive style of movement that is perfect for dancers and performers. It’s fun seeing old school weapons being used in a modern way through flow arts.
