All About Candle Wicks | Details of types of cotton wicks for candle making [Wicks and Wicking]

You literally don’t need to listen to any other candle makers videos to learn candle making if you watch this channel. SO much information and so thorough and entertaining. Keep them coming!!!

I have been struggling with CD wicks. Wade you are always a pleather of information and it is so appreciated. I am placing an order for Premier wicks today.

Great video with so much information. Thank you. Came here looking for a recommendation for a beeswax votive Wick. I know it needs to be rigid and also a robust flame to melt the high viscous beeswax.

Amazing video thank you! I have only been candle making for about a year now and decided to switch my jar to a larger vessel. Do you have any recommendations for a wick for double wicked 3.5 in diameter straight edge jar with beeswax & coconut blend? I've tried eco 14 and they burn okay but not fully to the sides after like 5 hours burn time. There's so much to consider I know. Thank you for your time!❤

Hi Wade- quick question. Is there a place to get more specific information regarding viscosity of fragrances and how they affect wick burning? There’s got to be some kind of math that can help narrow down wick choices, right? Love this video!

This question has probably already been asked, but...I'm starting my testing phase and all but one of my candles are burning great. Is it possible that the fragrance might make a candle not burn the same as the others? I have four different fragrances but all the same variables for everything else. Same size jar, same size wick, same amount of wax, no color, same amount of fragrance. One is not burning evenly. Your insights would be appreciated!

You're funny 😅

Another excellent video. Thank you Wade!

Hi Wade. I'm interested in a 3 mm woven or braided wicking material to use in a survival lighter. The price for the OEM wick at 8 inches long is ridiculous, over $2 each. Since lighter fluid is not wax etc , I'm not worried about absorption, but durability. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thank you

I m,trying to lrarnbhow to use
wicks,I woulf have like to see diffrent wivks you talk about.

Thanks for this information it’s highly appreciated

If they can't eat they are gonna go home 😆

hiii im Valeria and I have been following you for a while now. I have really learned a lot from you and im sooso happy i found you because i am ready to start my candle journey ☺. Im on the website to order the wicks from the link in your description but the ones i want to try out for my testing are all sold out lol .. do you think you can suggest one for me? my vessel is 12 oz... 😇 i know its based on a lot of factors such as wax type and fragrance but i just dont know what size to try.. help? 🙃

Currently in the wick testing phase of my business, & I have a few extra gray hairs lol. Nonetheless learning is so refreshing & this video breaks it down beautifully, my weekend will consist of watching your videos & taking notes.

Great video, I do wish there was a little more info on wicks for beeswax candles. Happy to have found this channel.

A modeling wax candle? Whatever do you mean by this @Wade?

The intro was funny. Great information! Thank you!!

Hahahaha 😂 " Bring all the boys to the yard" 😂 I love what you do and I love your video's ❤🤩

im from india i cant caulate onuse pounds in inda is all kilogram

niceinformation thank you god bless you

which is the best wicks for soywax

Hi Wade, thank you for this video! I'm new to candle making but I've been studying it for some time (albeit all the procrastinations), I'm going to trial and error my own blend of beeswax with coconut oil. But like you've mentioned, I understand there's so many variables to consider, it's like endless possibilities. After deciding on a wax blend and container size, what variable should I start testing next? I'm only using pure essential oils/fragrance oils, no colour dyes etc. Should I do the fragrance and wax blend test first, before moving on to testing wicks? Thank you so much, hope to hear from you!! 😊

I Absolutely Love all of your videos! You are just excellent at helping. I give you 100 Stars ⭐️

This video is 2 years old has anything changed for your preferences on wicks on coconut wax

Hi Wade! I know this is an older video but I have a question about Hpsp wicks. Do you have any knowledge on those wicks? Which wax do they work best in?

Hi Wade! Just came across your video and it’s such an informative video. I’m using the makesy version of the virgin coco soy wax & the diameter of my jar is 2.98”, what wicks from htp and/or premier would you recommend?

Hi wondering how many wood wick you would put in an 8.8inch diameter vessel, I would appreciate any info. Thank you

Can you specify why you haven’t had luck with the eco wick? Like what characteristics about it makes you steer away from it

Great info. Thank-you

Wicked video, that milkshake quote is now a personal proverb.

Another AWESOME lesson ❤

The first 30 seconds of this video has been me( probably most of us) so many times . I was unorganized when I began, and more than once, took a wick out of the labeled bag, got busy then forgot which size I took.🤦🏼‍♀️ They all look identical out of the bags to me. I'm way more organized and careful now!😁 Thanks for the great video! I appreciate all the wonderful knowledge you and the commenting candle makers share❤️

4:20 AM still binging still making candles!!

Where's that wood wick video @blacktiebarn ?

Listening to you I hear Charlie Munger

Wick for beeswax.?

Your the greatest

That analogy had me laughing out loud! Especially when you mentioned the boys will leave....lol!

That’s literally me. I did my first batch of candles yesterday and I light one today and it didn’t smell like anything 😑

hi angel, i'm with you lost. your wicks are inside the plastic mine mixed everything, even making text and there's no explosion in the fragrance.. you can help me, i use Candle Science essence. do you know.or do you have a better supplier for me to buy essence thanks

Wade can I use just one type of wax In the beginning to start? If so
Which one ?

too much talk and not enough succinct information

Hello, I am using a very small 1.125 inch pillar candle (paraffin) and I need a flat-braided wick that will really curl back on itself for my application. Which flat wick, in your experience, would curl the most? I have tried the LX 8 wick, but it is merely leaning a little and is certainly not what I would call self-trimming and the flame is just getting too high. Thank you so much for the video. I learned a lot from it.

I'm usung a 500 millilitre jar, its a very pretty one with gold on it. Which wick shall i be usung?

I love how you teach your craft it is insightful helpful and I enjoy making my candles after watching you

anybody know exactly what type of wick Yankee candle use?
