I launched my candles and soap company a little over a year ago. I kept considering this EZ Wick Setter, but I saw how mixed the reviews were and decided against it multiple times. I sell candles in bulk (100s per week), so finally I broke down and ordered it. It works great! If you try to guide it which is (I think) instinct, then it can off-center the wick, but if you just let it fall right on the container and press the lever, I get a completely centered wick...yay! I've made over four hundred candles this week and this tool has been a gem! Game changer for sure. For reference, I use two-and-four-ounce metal tins and 4-ounce glass jars. Thank you, Candle Science!

After reading the reviews I was hesitant to order. My problem when using this is more the jar than the setter. If the jar is a loose fit you need to make sure you have the setter in the center, sometimes the same type of jar is tight, same thing, you need to make sure it is center. Every once in a while I have to remove the wick because it isn't in the center but I am sure it is because I didn't have the setter centered when I pressed down. This is a game changer for me, I have been using it for a couple years now and if something happened to it I would buy another one.

I didn’t expect much when I bought this after seeing the not so great reviews. However, I got it today and used it and wow! This device is life changing for me. I have arthritis so I spend way too much time on wicks. Maybe for others this device isn’t that big of a help, I don’t know. But for me, it makes all the difference in the world. Also it states the jar sizes it works with so I made sure it would work with mine beforehand. Well worth the money for me.

I wish I’d read the many reviews advising that this won’t work on hand blown jars like Libbey, and I would suggest that the product description be updated accordingly. While the Libbey jars are my go-to, I have dozens of 8oz and 16oz mason jars that I have never been able to wick properly myself, even using a template, and the wick setter gives me a perfectly centered result every time. It does what it promises and I found it very easy to set up and use. Would I have purchased it if I knew it didn’t work on the Libbey jars? No. Am I pleased with its performance on my other jars? Absolutely.

I am new to candle making. Brand new. I read a lot of the reviews. Always somebody not happy with something. I made the decision to purchase both of them. I love them, both of them. They work just fine for me. I have no issues at all. Set my wicks just fine and centered. Gosh if you break the glass more than likely your doing something wrong or applying way to much pressure. I highly recommend them. Use them properly and they will work just fine. They will put a smile on your face and make you a happy candle maker and not a grumpy old complainer.
