FragileXmom Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Very cool! I may have to try one of those. I have NO idea how that is done. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanasnecessities Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 They are cool, They do make the sound.They even burn well enough. Looks like a thin wooden toungue depressor in them only dark.They snap and crackle just like they say.They were the new thing at market in the fall and I checked them out. A lady down from me sells OV and she says they burn great and sell okay. People just don't trust them.(neither do I) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Can someone provide al link to a picture of the wooden wicks? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Can someone provide al link to a picture of the wooden wicks?TIAHere's a different candle with the same idea.http://www.daynadecker.com/collection/collection.htmlI wonder if the wooden wicks are manufactured for the purpose or if there's something we can buy that would work. It might be interesting to experiment with this concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryGirl Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 http://www.oldvirginiacandle.com/it is an intresting idea...it would take alot of testing...but would be very natural if it worked.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Those are really interesting. Does anyone know if they would work with soy wax? Any suppliers carry the wood wicks? I think this just gave me an idea of something new to test this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryGirl Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 I have nooo idea yet.. i did a search and came up with nothing so i wrote one of my suppliers to see what they said! I think it would be cool to make them! If it works and actually burns the wax with no problems..i think it would be amazing!I love fireplaces...

CranberryGirl Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 ps.. Maybe if everyone started writing suppliers..wem might see them hit the market....supply and demand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 That's a Lawsuit & re-call just waiting to happen!Curious why you think so. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any more danger than a regular wick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I tried some searching and couldn't find a supplier either or more info about them. I only found places that sell them. Please post anything you find and i'll do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashmo37 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I had DH take a look and he says it looks like a Bamboo wick. He also thought the crackle effect would throw tiny sparks and be a hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celicagtca Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 This company has a Patent Application see: http://www.tvausa.com/stories/story.asp?id=1 The name of the original company is: Lumitique Inc.You can check out their demo here: http://www.scentsationalcandlesandgifts.com/oldvirginia/WoodWick.htmYou won't see these wicks on the market for a few years.

topofmurrayhill Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I took a stab at searching for a place to buy slivered bamboo but no luck so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisinka1 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 As a candle buyer, I'd be very cautious about buying them. I saw them on the website and I just don't like them at all. First, they look ugly in those jars. Second, I really don't want to listen to snap crackle and pop. That's what I have a fireplace for. Third, this sounds dangerous but I have never seen, smelled, nor tried them so I may be wrong. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 By the looks of it, several places have a "patent pending" on those. Wonder who's gonna be the lucky patent holder? I admit, they seem pretty cool. I could see a custome base for those. The ones who don't have a fireplace; or for use in the months where you just don't use the fireplace and miss the sounds.

CranberryGirl Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 At first I thought...what a joke...But U know the more U think about it and how cool they could look....and if they burn good! Holy cow!! I don't have a fire place I miss the sounds..I would love it in my house...I have done a ton of searching so far...have not found them yet....I dout I will but well..Ya never know...

The_Dallas_Dean Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 http://www.oldvirginiacandle.com/it is an intresting idea...it would take alot of testing...but would be very natural if it worked....I really like the jar that the candles with the wooden wick are in. Two sizes. Nice interesting shape. Have any of you seen this jar available or is it something that OVC has exclusively? It looks like Scentsational is distributing them for OVC.It seems to me like there is very little that has hit the market that is "new" to the candle industry in a long time...and when it does, it is usually a hit if it works. My bet is they work just fine and will sell like hotcakes for awhile. I would definitely give them a shot...just because they are different. ( Not necessarily because I care about the snap, crackle, pop....without hearing them...they could get annoying. ) Who knows, they maybe on to something. Can't say as I am 100% thrilled about any wick we have available to us now..so why not?Doesn't seem like they are capitalizing on their hot new item. About a buck an oz. Same $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Finally, a wick that will grow a mushroom if you DON'T light it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
