I'm a little at a loss. I have not made candles in a minute but these were usually a good wick for mason jars. I put them in the jars and they are so thick that my stabilizer I thread them through won't fit? They are so fat! Did I get the wrong size in the bag or is this the norm? Worried they will be too large now and will ruin my burn. Any ideas?

For my large 14oz candles I needed one good wick not 3 small. This works perfectly. Yes there is mushrooming if the wick is not cut correct and can produce smoke if blown out. Luckily my candles come with a wood lid. So the smoke is a non issue. This has saved me a ton of time and money from the previous wicks I’ve used.

I've been using this wick size for the last year and so far it works well. I use the 8 oz candle tins and Cargill C-3 wax between 6% to 8% fragrance load, depending on the fragrance, some do mushroom more than others but this wick has been working pretty well for the most part.

So I had purchased these wicks for 8oz candles as my blend is soy and beeswax to assist in the hot throw. My only complaint about them is that if you stick to the regular wick trimming rules, expect a ton of mushrooming and a high flame. They also burn quicker due to the higher cotton content but they do work very well to increase the hot throw. Make sure you trim the wick fairly short to help minimize the mushrooming and soot production.
Would recommend for mason and straight sided jars (10oz+).

Initial burn resulted in a tremendous amount of smoke. We trimmed the wick shorter than normal and the test burn performed well with no smoke or soot.
