wick Horizontal Wicks?

[7kgirl]

I am very new, and I am reading a ton of tutorials and articles and watching videos. My niece gave me a container she would like me to refill, I believe it is Woodwick, or Ribbonwick. I would love to  do a horizontal wick, but I can't find anything even close to that, or a horizontal wick of any kind. Is there such a thing out there for candle making, or are they patented? Thank you for any responses.

Hi @7kgirl, just now seeing your post. Sorry, no, I've never found any wicks like that for sell, they all appear to be patented and used by certain candle makers. I would like to buy those wicks and test them too.

It seems there is a provisional patent on those wood wicks. https://patents.google.com/patent/US9816053B2/en?q=wooden&q=candle+wick&oq=wooden+candle+wick

Northwood Candle Supply has ribbon wicks but I am not sure if they are exactly what you are looking for.

Candle Cocoon has something similar to the Ribbonwick.

Wave Wick

 

The wavey wick used by Ribbonwick appears to be patented.

Flexible Wick

(I found the mention of silk and alpaca hair as a wicking material interesting. I guess that makes them potentially non-vegan.)

 

Edit: I just realized how old this thread is. Oops...

Sometimes necro threads are the best.  This was a good one to revive.   Good info.

Thanks for the reminder, I remember seeing this wick in the past. It looks awesome, I've been wanting to try it out.
