can these cups be used for fire cupping?

If you mean applying open flame to heat up the insight of the cups immediately before application then No, this material is not suitable for that and will burn possibly causing fire and/or injuries.

No, I would not think they could serve any purpose with fire. They come with a handle that completely removes any air from them and you do not need fore. They have a release valve on the top to release the air before removing. I would not recommend fire at all. Fire ones do not have a release valve.

Probably not. They might survive it, but they are not designed for it. I really don't think you could get the suction you need with flame because of the release valve design.

No, no. the cup is not heat friendly to the hand. Not as well insulated as the storge cups

I don't know if they are microwave safe, but I don't think these cups are appropriate for hot beverages. The cups are not insulated.

I don't use the cups though as they are thin for hot liquids. I prefer heavier mugs.

I bought these as gifts, but I don't see any reason why not to be able to use them for hot liquids. I can tomatoes and jams in boiling water - why not tea?

It depends. There are two sizes of these mugs. The smaller one (which I believe this is) has a bottom width of about 2-and-a-half inches. The larger one is about 3-and-a-half inches. These are metal cups - and if sat on a 'warmer' may cause burns to your fingers as well as your mouth - because heat will be conducted into the handles, as well as the body of the cup. Be safe.

I've never used them for hot liquids, but I am pretty sure you can . They are used for canning preserves, and they are usually hot when they are put in the jars.

I wouldnt put hot items in the cups especially if they are for little kids. The cups are great but I do not think they would be thick enough for hot items.

That's correct. I found some helpful information on this site: www.chinesecupping.com/biomagnetic_24_deluxe_cupping_set.html

Sorry, I don't know what "wet" cupping is. For normal use, the cups are wonderful. I have them with me everywhere even when I travel.

I would not use them for hot coals, I think they would melt or burn your hands.

Hi Helen.Yes. They are fine for tea! My husband and I are big tea drinkers. We love these mugs! Enjoy! Melissa

Yes, that's what I used them for (until they broke from being dropped a small distance). I don't know if the hot coffee somehow made them more fragile - I would hope not because I think that's their purpose.

Sure they can. I've used mine plenty of times over an open campfire. Just watch the plastic/rubber on the handles that they don't melt if you get them to close to the fire.

Yes it can be used. However I wish they were a little deeper. I use them,as they prevent sediment in my cup.

I wouldn't myself - I think it might get too hot and crack the cup - especially when "blow torching" the tops at the end. Just buy cheap ramekins.

Probably so, just depends on how small the 'small cup' is. I often use toddler juice cups to make them. They work great.
