I purchased these wicks as CandleSciences recommendation for my wax type and jar size. My initial thought when burn testing was that they were too large for my candle and burned wax too fast. Before jumping to conclusions, I started weighing my candle before each burn and after burn (sometimes hourly) to determine the actual burn rate. These wicks are burning my wax at a rate of 1oz every 5-7 hours. Within 2.5 hours burn time, the candle has usually got a melt pool that reaches all sides of the jar about 1/4in deep. As the candle burns deeper, all wax is cleanly melted from the sides of the jar. I think these wicks are great for my candles (Soy wax 464, 9oz straight sided glass jar).

Despite being the recommended size for my container, these wicks left plenty of wax on the edge of the candles on multiple tests. Not happy, especially considering the shipping price I paid for this order.

These are great wicks with a consistent burn and excellent hot throw using 464 soy and a 8% fragrance load. Make sure you trim them to 1/4” before each burn and instruct your customers to do so too… these don’t need a lot of head to catch a flame and build a pool without drowning. Do your tests with your vessels, as different materials retain and distribute heat differently, but the CS wick guide hasn’t failed me yet!

I'm burning a candle right now with this wick and it's tunneling horribly. It hasn't even melted half of the wax from the top down.

I'm disappointed in these wicks. The wick immediately starts to curl even just shortly after I light it and I've done several tests. Very disappointed in time/money wasted with this product.

I absolutely love these so much, the perfect flame. No soot and I pair it with my 464 soywax.

I am using these in 464 soy in the straight sided jars. they work great with 8% Fragrance. I have since started buying on another site due to the shipping here was actually double for me to buy the wicks now.

I've been using these wicks for YEARS, with no issues.... Until the past couple of times I've ordered them. I'm experiencing tunneling in the wax and the wicks don't burn as well as they used to. I'm currently in the process of finding a replacement wick, because these ones are starting to cost me more many, as so many candles aren't turning out. Ugh! :(

I followed the CS suggestion for my candle size. I had to purchase 100 because the 12pc was not available. My first tester instantly curled as soon as I lit it. The light went out after only a few minutes. I relit it and then it created a tunnel. I had to pour nearly half of the wax out in order for it to melt properly. I may need to go up a wick size but that confuses me. I was going to get CD 14 but if I go up with the measurements of the diameter the suggestion says CD 18 and ofcourse the 12pc is out of stock.

Candle science has always been my go to sense I began this journey…however they seem to be out of stock on multiple items for months at a time. Sad to say I’m going to have to find a different site that’s more reliable.
