LX 22 6" Pretabbed Candle Wick
Choose a Variant

Product Update:

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.

About the LX Series
LX wick is a specially braided flat cotton 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. 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.

Various issues

I've used these for almost 3 years and in that time when o first started there were no issues these have gotten worse somehow? Lots of black smoke, tunneling, to hot.. I use the same jars, wax, and FO load basicly everything else has stayed the same but these wicks have been giving me trouble. I wish that customer support could also answer these concerns for people outwardly in the comments so we don't all have to write to you for an answer on what we can do with the issue.

Surprised at the excellent burn

I went against the grain and use these with 464 in a 12 oz libbey heavy bottom jar. I double wick with these and they burn perfectly, evenly and all the way to the metal tab. I love the mushroom effect and advise my customers to simply pinch off the shroom before they relight. Sometimes my HT is not as strong as the CT and it could be the wick vs my wax BUT these wicks burn beautifully.

Worst wicks ever!!!

The wicks are the worst. I got them being that they were recommended for my wax and containers(all brought of candlescience). This wicks mushroom and they produce black smoke whenever they are burned.

Help!

I bought these as per the recommendation. They are mushrooming and when I blew the candle out it dropped soot into the candle. I trimmed and tested for 4 hours. I need help with what other wick would compare to this one. I'm using 4630 in the new matte tumbler black. Thanks!

Super Inconsistent

Will be tossing these out and replacing them with a different wick. Sometimes they clear the sides, other times they cause tunneling on this sites Straight Sided Tumbler Jars. Strange that a wick recommended for those jars would cause me issues. I would say they cause tunneling 50-60% of the time

wick test

just made 1st candle in an 8 oz ( jelly jar ) using a LX 20 wick . I did not have the Lx 22 on hand. I let this candle burn for 12 hours straight and it still left a very small wax wall . This wick did not burn high and I did not have any smoke issues . I just needed the 22 size. I also noticed it did not burn hot because I could move it handling it from the top of the jar . It was warm but not hot . I now have to test for a size 16 oz. canning jar . Guessing on size of around LX 26 - 28 . Has anyone used this wick in a 16 oz . jar ????? your suggestions PLEASE

These are the best wicks I have tried so far! They burn down perfectly in my 8oz Jelly Jars.

Creates tunneling in 12 oz jars

This size is recommended for the 12 oz jars but every one of my candles creates tunneling as the flame isn't enough to reach the outside of the candle.

Our Go-To Wick Series

The LX Wick Series, specifically the LX2 is our go to wick for our single-wick candles. We use everything from the LX14 all the way thru to the LX28 in our vessels. Previously we used ECO; however, in our testing we found greater HT, less sooting, and a slower burn with LX wicks vs ECO. It all comes down to testing testing & more testing.
