Well, this is the thread where you can tell us all about what you like and don't like about it!

Try to include the following.
  • Explain clearly what the product / toy is that you are reviewing.
  • Tells us you're personal likes and dislikes, and why.

Rechargeable Glowsticks - By: AquaThane


Cole Cord - By: AquaThane



Flowlights - By: Blacklabel01


E-Shirt - By: Blacklabel01


Encycl-poi-dia - By: Spinnabledreams


oh yeah product review........ encycl poi dia...... alright ppl i havent even watched half of it but it left me with enough to practice for weeks and weeks and i still got way more to watch and practice. i had to turn it off one because it made wanna spin and 2 because if i didnt i am possitive my brain would have exploaded with poi move overload. buy this dvd deffinately an intermediate to advance level dvd some thing i was already doing most things i havent even dreamed of in my sickest poi dreams. also i got cole cord and swivels from hop the swivels own orbitals go on FOREVER.

Ogg Poi - By: Spinnabledreams


my take on oggpoi. bum bum buh i freaking love em. they are way heavy compared to glowsticks i think about 5 ounces each i wish they were heavier. i love the color changing to death what i have notice is the shifting speed changes for a while durring a spin they wil be off synch different stages in the color switching then all of the sudden for a while they sync its sick!!!!!! i actually manage a fair amounts of wraps with no problems. i have a love hate oppinion about the leashes. hyper loops are a pain, but they are adjustable so if you next song is slow make long if your going fast you can shorten em quick, they do harsh the arms with wrapping, but they dont grip each other much so i think oli ing might be easy with them(i started practicing these couldnt do em with socks but i can do some ugly ollys with these leashes)i have a few video that i will upload when the gods of wifi and youtube smile on me

Color Contacts - By: Synthetic_Light

The product is/are nonprescription colored contacts because people were interested in the UV reactive contacts.
What I personally like about this website is that it's easily navigable (sp?) and very cheap compared to prices found at stores and stuff. They ship it from China and it takes a small amount of time to get it, it took me to get my contacts about 3-4 day i think.
now the only minor annoyance is bad grammar, i mean i'm sure my grammar is littered with disgusting grammar but i mean shit like "will BLUE under UV, if not then clear." kinda makes it hard to understand the point they are trying to get across.
Now, for an example of their merch.
I purchased the Pearl White contact lenses. You can see how they look in my album, last picture, or the album cover.
What I like about them is that most importantly they will fucking freak people out! Which could be hilarious! The cheap price was definitely a plus. They are 29.99 for a pair on the site, but on the street they go for around 80 bucks.
The thing i didn't appreciate about them is the weird halo glow on the peripheral vision, but that's expected because they are white out color lenses... Also after some use they start to irritate the eyes when first putting them in, slightly though.
So to the GXG fam, visit this site. Great selection of colored lens, even casual colored lens. Cheap, cheapest I have found so far. Speedy service. A great item for people who want to look fucking crazy!!!

Ogg Poi / Cole Cord - By: Ukeyouee


I'm gonna try to get to a full on review at the end of the week, but...here's the short version. I don't normally spin sticks, so I can't comment on the oggpoi weight vs. that. (Maybe thane or dancefloor?)The oggs are a comparable weight to my sock poi, which are between 3/4 and 1 cup of rice.

I just got my gear from HOP today, and the colecord leashes are AMAZING!!! Thane, you get a hug and a kiss for that one...they are just as great as you made them out to be! They are totally worth the money (and actually, with shipping, it was almost the same cost as getting the standard leashes from flowtoys)

As far as spining with the oggs - well they are actually soft enough that you don't hurt yourself, unless you catch the hard plastic part on the bottom...I was doing a windmill, caught myself in the face (spinning in the wind with these is not the best idea - they're a little light for that unless you arrange yourself properly), and ended up with a bloody nose.

The otehr thing to note about the oggpoi is that they ARE NOT WATERPROOF! I didn't find that tou til I got them, but they have electrical contacts on the bottom and cannot be used in inclement weather.

All because of you
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
No, not the kind with halos;
The kind that bring you home
When home becomes a strange place.
I'll follow your voice;
All you have to do is
Shout it out....

Okay....what he meant to say was...."Hi, I'm sexy and I'm gonna do this product review topless and use terms such as 'sexy' and 'smooth' to sell my uber-chiseled body on the internet." LOL....sorry, I had to. Nice review and a great idea for a thread. Keep up the good work! How did that discount treat ya!? Anyone else who needs a 15% discount to Home of Poi PM me, please.

i been asking for a review forum for a while. club artists/dj's products clubs/venues product suppliers. thanks for getting the ball rolling. those colecords do look sick dont think i am gonna be using hop for a while plan on buying domestic. only because i am to cheap to pay extra for quick shipping and to impatiecent to wait 2 weeks for new poi.


"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," say Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't though of that" and promply vanishes in a puff of logic.

With that, we will have an official product review section that will have in-depth product reviews by qualified writers. Stay tuned, we will be calling all you writers out there to apply for positions - stay tuned!

To be clear, this would not discount the importance of this thread. Just wanted to inform that we will have well developed product reviews in the pipeline.
