5.0 out of 5 stars So far burns fine coat in olive oil and wax
The media could not be loaded. These are really really thin so I used them for 2oz candles. I soaked them in olive oil and also coated them with wax when I was pouring my wax. I used soy wax. The wicks are super thin and fragile so handle with care as it can break when inserting into the clips. The burn of it is okay and no crackling. I will update when I use them for an 8oz jar. I do think the width of the wick is too large for a 2oz can.My bf used it in a large jar and also coated in olive oil but not wax and his wick did not do so well. It was struggling to burn after a big flame. His wax pooled very deep but not wide.
5.0 out of 5 stars Candle not staying lit? Try this before leaving a negative review. Great wicks!
Just wrote a negative review regarding these wicks, then learned it was my fault that the wicks weren’t staying lit. For those who have wicks not staying lit, try this…before lighting the first time, make sure the height of the wick is no higher than a usb (silver part that plugs in) then light and leave lit until wax pool (melted part) reaches the edge of the container. After several failed wick lighting attempts by me and other new candle makers in my group, we tried this & it worked!
1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn’t burn, absolute waste of money and time
I followed the instructions and the wick won’t stay lit. Of course, I found this out AFTER I had poured and dried the candle wax, so the entire candle is likely ruined without some very detailed work. Zero crackle sound, thin and flimsy, even when doubled, they didn’t hold a flame. These won’t even function as fire starters. Very disappointed
4.0 out of 5 stars Good start but not the best
I am extremely new to candle making and I chose to use wooden wicks and beeswax for my new adventure. It is unlikely I will buy these wicks again. The second set of pictures shows tunneling. That is why on my next candle (first set of pictures) I used 3 wicks. See Picture 5 and 6 for the size of the candles I made. Using 3 wicks solved the tunneling problem and gave the candle a crackling sound similar to Wood Wick Co candles.I gave this product 4 stars because I like the metal base they come with and they are easy to cut with scissors.Steps/materials I used to make my candles* Checked temperature of the room (62 degrees F)*1 hour before hand rubbed one drop of essential oil on center wick (I used 3 wicks to 1 wick holder in both pictures)*Preheat the 4oz glass containers (Pyrex) to 200 degrees F*I heated 4oz Opeshar beeswax up to 160 degrees F*Poured in 9.5g (.33oz) of esstentail oil at 145 degrees F* Mixed in 1/4 teaspoon of Pearl Ex pigment powder at 140-135 degrees F*Took glass container out of oven* Placed metal wick holder with wooden wick inside glass container* Poured Opeshar beeswax into glass container* Added 2g of argon oil a gave the candle a gentle stir* Waited until wax cured (3h -24h) and painted the top with Pearl Ex powderNote: When lighting the candles the flame was high as I trimming the wick 1" from the wax. After about 3 minutes, the flame burnt the wood similar how it would look burning incense. I blew out the candle and relit for a regular candle flame. The heat throw (smell of the candle when lit is strong) and the Pearl Ex makes sparkly ripples when burning!
5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, Woody, Fun!
The media could not be loaded. I'm not the most experienced with wood wicks, so it took me some time to try these out. I've been having trouble with my candles being so smoky my room looks like it's foggy - so I wanted to try different wicks and see how that went. These have not disappointed! They are very uniform in their cuts and shapes. I was extremely happy with the box that they come in - plenty of companies just have sad little plastic bags that are unpleasant or a hassle to use once you open the packaging. This is something I want to hold on to for wicks forever!The wicks have been easy to place - the "foot" that holds the wood strip stays in place well and the wood is easy to trim. There is some crackling that happens during the burning, which I enjoy for some passive ambiance. They feel good, look good, work well, and are a great experience in my candle adventures. I often use these with wax cubes or for "zombie candles" where I combine wax remnants from other candles and the wicks still work well!Have a happy little pet fire with a modest crackle while you're at it!
