I love CD wicks, they surpass any other wick series I've tried in 7 years of candlemaking. Trimming & proper candle care is important for customers... these provide a perfectly clean, soot free burn if basic candle care is followed.

I went with the recommended CD12 with the new Paraffin/Coconut Wax in the 21oz, 3” diameter Status Jars… A tad too big. A lot of mushrooming, soot and it wasn’t trimming as it should. I do like the wax though so I’m going to try the CD10. Previously, I used the Comfort Blend Wax which is also wonderful, although messy with LX16, high fragrance load (over 10%) with 2 drops of color and my candles burned nonstop (it was in a very safe place) for every bit of just under, literally by 1.5 hours, 7 days!! I hope the Paraffin/Coconut lasts as long with the CD10. Burn tests coming soon! If it doesn’t work out I’ll go back to my previous wax & wicks.

I had been using a "standard" 6" wick I found on that colossal online bookseller/retailer. The wicks were doing a good enough job, but I hated seeing the wax collect on one side of my containers and/or the wax tunneling. I played around with the pour temp and tried to better center the wicks. No improvement. Then I took a chance with Candle Science's CD wick series and BOOM! the burn was amazingly even. I use the CD 10, 14 and 20 as my candle containers are cut beer, wine and liquor bottles--all different sizes/diameters. These wicks have greatly improved the quality of my candles. Thank you!

I bought these and ECO10 for use in standard Mason Jars. About 3” diameter. I burnt them side by side. Would not recommend the ECO. Tall flame and lots of soot. The CD10’s are great though.

Using GB464 with a 12% fragrance load in the 4 oz CS candle tins, I was a little worried this wick might be too much. It may have burned a *little* fast but I got a full melt pool at around 90 minutes. The flame didn't stutter or smoke. There is a slight mushroom on the tip of the wick but it seems like it burns itself out really well without causing any issues. Prior to buying these to try, I saw that several people said the CD8 was too small for the 4 oz tin so I figured I'd try this one and step down if necessary. Glad I did!
