  • Chino Meteor Setup

This Meteor Dart setup has been pioneered and shared with all of us from one of the most giving and caring flow artist I know, Chino (RocketPower_flow on ig). This setup is unique in two ways:

Three Swivel setup - This setup has two additional swivels attached to the main leash swivel and then spliced individually to each lead.

Lead Length - The section of Technora from the main leash swivel to the top of the head, is referred to as the "lead". This includes the new added swivel and a quick link at the other end to attach the head to, but does NOT include the head's length. With this setup, you can designate the lead length as an option. Chino runs leads around 23 inches which is much longer than standard meteor leads (~18 inches)
Heads

There are two head styles for the Meteor Dart. The first is the traditional 2.75" Monkey Fist, which provides maximum durability and a comfortable weight. The alternative is the 4-Petal White Lotus, which is much heavier and provides massive flames.

Monkey Fist The default Meteor Dart head is the standard 2.75" Monkey Fist. These provide a 4-5 minute burn time* without being too heavy and exhausting to control. In addition, the only exposed metal on these heads is the quick link attachment point, reducing the risk of hot metal burns and of rough metal edges hitting you.

White Lotus Brave individuals with strong shoulders may opt for the White Lotus heads. These heads maximize surface area, creating huge flames that last 3:30-4 minutes.* These heavy heads are for experienced and fearless rope dartists. Due to the high temperatures these heads create, they have a shorter lifespan than the Monkey Fists.

* Burn times are estimated based on recorded burns using pure "white gas" / Coleman's Liquid Camp Fuel. Actual burn times may vary based on individual spinning style, length of fuel soak, and other factors.

Rope
Dragon Rope is used for both the main Meteor Dart leash and the majority of the leash between the swivel and the heads. This rope is made from a smooth and durable fiber used extensively by NASA. It has a tensile strength of 5,500 lbs, can withstand sustained temperatures of up to 625°F, and is extremely abrasion resistant, ensuring a long lifespan.

Hardware
We use a minimal amount of hardware to help prevent burns from hot metal.



Lotus Heads Because of the MASSIVE amount of fire they produce, Lotus heads have a shorter lifespan than other heads. Kerosene and Lamp Oil/ Paraffin have longer burn times, therefore the wick will absorb more heat and degrade faster than with other types of fuel. We do NOT recommend using these fuel types with Lotus heads.
