Yes, you can use pod shells as end caps for your composite staff. We don't offer pod shells as a standard cap option for the following reasons:

  1. Flowcaps are universal as they are compatible with both flowlights and capsule lights, and any new lights we produce. Pod shells are only compatible with capsule lights. 
  2. Flowcaps attach to tubes using a click-in connection that is secure. Pod shells do not click-in and use a friction fit to attach to tubes. The friction fit is not as reliable, and it requires the user to be aware of how the parts are connected to ensure the staff ends do not fly off. 


If you are placing an order for a staff, and would like to have pod shells instead of flowcaps, please leave a customer note during checkout, and we will make it happen for you :)


We do recommend using pod sleeves with the pod shells to keep the pod shell petals in place while you're flowing. We offer pod sleeves on our site here: https://flowtoys.com/pod-sleeve


If you have pod shells already you can also order the staff with flowcaps and swap them out with your pod shells - that way you have both caps on hand.


Re: vision props - If you'd like a vision staff with pod shells/sleeves as end caps, we offer vision contact and XL vision contact staffs with pod shells/sleeves as a standard option: 


Adding pod shells/sleeves to existing vision prop: If you already have a vision prop and want to use pod shells/sleeves as end caps, you can do that through our site here: https://flowtoys.com/pod-sleeve


If you already have the vision prop AND pod shells/sleeves, email us and we'll get you set up with some vision pod adaptors.
