country bee Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Has any one tried these wicks? Have you tried them in 4627 comfort blend wax? They say they are for highly scented candles.Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I almost find the definition alone hilarious. Scent comes from melted wax and melted wax alone. Saying a wick is for a highly scented candle is sort of like saying everything is better with bacon. Every wax type works best with a different type of wick. Soy is more viscous thus needs a wick that is hotter than say a paraffin which in contrast isn't. Scent is the least of my worries when choosing a wick. I want a wick that burns correctly for the type of wax I am using. Who is selling such a thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country bee Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks for the reply.I know what you are saying and agree.I was searching for a diffrent wick to try and ended up at adkin & pearce wicks and thats what the was stated in the aroma -lite wick listing.I was just wondering.I have the scent I like but thought maybe a different wick will burn better,you know how it is,always greener pastures. LOL I thought what is this wick,I have never heard of it before.I did do a search here but I thought maybe there would be a up date on the subject.

Flicker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 So A&P is selling it? Unreal. They are one of the major wick mfgrs! My honest quarter after nearly 20 years of candle making is this. Find a wick that burns your wax the best. If your melt pool is complete and after 4 hours burn time the depth of the melt pool is close to but not exceeding 1/2" in depth, you will have great throw. If you're not getting it, then I'd test other waxes because the wick isn't the problem, the scent and or wax is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Could it be that when A&P says a certain wick is for highly scented candles that it means for a candle with a higher percentage of FO rather than for better scent throw?

Flicker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Even that wouldn't matter because it's still not going to be for all waxes. It's sort of silly either way you look at it. A wick that is properly sized will work great in a HIGHLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 oops scented or unscented candle just the same. But a wick isn't going to be a one size fits all. Not all wicks work well in all waxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
