Let’s just say if you’re getting tons of black smoke with these wicks, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. I use these in libbey straight sided jars with parasoy wax and the flame is perfect every time and I hardly get any soot. Remember before you test any wick, you should have knowledge on how to test!!

First let me say I love Candle Science fragrance oils but I am having problems with these wicks. My first ones caused a very big wick with lots of black smoke. The second time was just the opposite with a very small flame and couldn't smell the candle. I am losing money making candles I can't sell. Is there another option to use? I use 464 Soy Wax.

doing everything carefully, tested with this wick multiple times. No matter what there is just so much black smoke. I was told it was from “too much” fragrance. I made a candle with NONE just to test the wick itself. It let off so much black smoke. Just a waste

For the life of my I don't understand why candle science continues to recommend eco 8s for 12 ounce lobby straight jars with fill line of 8.5 ounces! 8 candles. Significantly tunneled and had to be thrown out and remade. Each of those candles were created with the same wax, the same fragrance load, and the same melt temp. Yet every singal one of them tunneled. Therefore it is safe to say that an eco 8 is NOT the wick to use in these jars. Candle science, the correct wick is an eco 10, not an eco 8. Please consider changing your wick guide to include eco 10 for straight sided lobby jars. Please listen to your customers. You are totally frustrating people. Thank you!

We have used the ECO 8 6" wicks for about a year but the last shipment of wicks are burning with a lot of black smoke and sooting up the wick terribly. When the candle burns down to half a jar the soot is all over the inside of the candle jar. Not sure how to stop this problem. Is there a better wick to use with IGI 6006 wax in the 8.5 oz. Libby straight sided jars?

I bought these wicks for christmas candles and because they were suggested to go well with the Straight Sided Tumbler jars (Libbey) the jars are fine but the wick creates a large flame that is unsafe and creates a lot of black smoke while its burning does anyone have a fix for this or any other wick that might work for these jars and IGI 6006 wax?

I been buying these for a few months but I struggle with the wushu I switched my wax make sure my formula is appropriate for the materials that I’m using but these wicks give off a lot of black smoke and very big flames I’ve had multiple customers complain. I have tons of candles that’s made for a vending event on October 28 1 and I have to figure out if I should sell or is there a way to correct the flames in a black smoke are very bad on these wicks. If someone can help me THANKS 🙏🏽

My original wicks I was using The whole sellers haven’t been selling them so decided to try some of a candle science wicks. These particular works for me I get an off a lot of black smoke and very big flames I’ve had multiple customers complain. So now I have tons of candles that’s made and my opening is on October 1 and I have to figure out is there something I can fix or what I can do because the flames in a black smoke are very bad on these wicks for whatever reason. If someone can help me ty

I’ve been using this wick in my straight sided 9 oz canning jar for over 4 years now. I use GB464 and have never had any mushrooming nor sooting. As a matter of fact my customers rave that ALL the wax burns so my candles last up to 50 hours! Also, sometimes they seem to be self trimming, no clipping needed. I highly recommend these.

I recently bought the ECO-8, LX-18, and CD-8 wicks to see which would be best for my candles. I am going to do 2 trials so this was my first. I used 6 oz yogurt jars from Amazon and 444 Golden Brands soy wax. ALL stayed lit which was my first good sign. I had them lit for 1 hr bc they are a smaller diameter so each candle has reached a full pool for the diameter of the jar, which was also a good sign to make sure they could be used in bigger jars. The LX-18 wick had ALOT of mushrooming I assume it was bc it was made for a bigger jar which it is, so I still need to run trial 2. There was only a little little bit of mushrooming with the CD-8 which is a super close second. With the ECO-8 there was no mushrooming at all and a small tilt to the wick as it burned which is what eco wicks do so over all all wicks passed, the only reason the CD and ECO are better is bc of the tiny to no mushrooming. My next test will be in my 2.8 diameter jar so we will see if the mushrooming is better with the LX and if all the wicks complete a full wax pool! I hope this is helpful.
