LX 10 6" Pretabbed Cotton Candle Wick

About the LX Series

LX wick is a specially braided flat wick which maintains a slight curl when burning. The curl moves the tip of the wick into the hottest part of the flame, which helps to minimize or eliminate carbon buildup (mushrooming), reduce smoking, and provide a 'self-trimming' effect, which creates a very stable and consistent flame.

You may see some variation in the wax coating on the wick due to different coating processes. The variance of the wax coating on the wick has no impact on the burn of the candle.

LX wicks are lead and zinc free.

For help choosing the right wick for your candle, visit our wick guide.

Conveniently secure your wicks with Wick Stickers (large) or Wick Stickers Pro.

super

I finally gave these wicks a go after being recommended for my favorite wax. They perform wonderfully. I am not sure why I thought they would be "mushroom" free... because they most certainly are not. Those pesky things can and do manifest with this wick as well.

Great for Paraffin Wax

I love LX wicks, as they are the best wicks series for paraffin wax outside of maybe Zinc wicks. They do not lean as badly as HTP wicks, they do not burn as hot as CD wicks, and they definitely don’t burn as hot as ECO wicks.

Usually, cooler burning wings are what you want for paraffin as it’s fairly easy to melt. In addition, LX has a fairly tight flame that burns very consistently. It also self-trims very well.

All of that being said, Candle Science, PLEASE stock LX 8 wicks, as they are required for any Mason Jar or smaller vessel with 4630 wax. LX 10 is just too over-wicked in many smaller vessels with Paraffin. I will be so, so happy to buy your LX 8 wicks, as I love shopping from you.

Please and thank you.
