    I learned with wooden wicks:

     

    1) I have to “prime” them.  I stick them in the melter as the wax melts and periodically hold them at the bottom of the pot until they stop pushing air bubbles.  When I don’t do that I experience inconsistent burns like you spdescribe.

     

    2) you need to light from the bottom of the wick to give them some fuel to get going. If you only light the wood part it will char an limit the capillary action for the next few millimeters.

     

    3) when relighting it helps to remove the charred bit from the last burn before lighting. 
     

    4) if they look like they are petering out as it burns, whack off some of the char.

     

    i started and stopped with wooden wicks at least eleventeen times.  Am loving them right now in my wax blends. 

     

    do you sell candles made with wood wicks or just personal

    2) I’ve had some that just won’t burn in the same package as those tested successfully. Hard to retail those when it’s a crapshoot if they will even light and stay lit. 

     

    Hi Tall was this your experience with Wooden Wick co wicks? Or are you referring to another company?

    Can someone explain this scent throw phenomenon?

    When I make a half jar candle with 9% fragrance I can cure the candle for 24-48 hours, light it and it will fill the whole living room, very strong throw. But the same scent made to full jar capacity (to the top of jar) will not have scent throw when I light it within 24-48 hours?

     

    These are flint 8oz jars I'm using. 464 wax

     

    I have tried this with 8 different scents from 3 different brands.
