Have you had a chance to test thicker wicks to see if they fit thru the slit opening? I have used CD16 in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilosCandles Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Just made my 1st samples for @CorgiCaper I have no idea how I am going to price these yet and not 100% ready to sell. Maybe like $5 for 1, $25 for 10 ($2.50ea), $50 for 25 ($2ea), $87.50 for 50 ($1.75ea), $125 for 100 ($1.25ea) all with Free Shipping. Thoughts? If anyone else is interested contact me. I am still looking for input on them and for some people to try them. Just need to ship me you jar/tin and wick so I can measure and size them. The ones I made for myself... OMG I can not believe how nice it is to NOT worry about if the wicks are centered after I pour. The way I designed the tab that hold the wick allows for a little tension to be applied also to keep it nice and straight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiCaper Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I can't wait to get the samples. I'm not even pouring any more candles until I get 100 from you. With that said, Bittercreek (the plastic sample I sent you that didn't quite fit) were 100 of them for $30. The white plastic cross bar one's sell for $34 for 50 of them. Whatever you choose to sell them for, count me in 😊 Happy to be your first sample 😊 Cheers, CC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilosCandles Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 The difference is those are done with Plastic Injection Molding. Pay $10,000 for the mold, and then fractions of pennies afterward for each. It will be interesting to see if there are some common sizes or more popular sizes that can be done that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooner or later something will come along and they'll be just what I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) So are these for just 1 size? for just 1 container? like $125.00 for l00 of them. If they are it would be way to costly to even think about getting them for all the different style jars unless they could be adjustable. Im used to making 100's of jars at a time and it would be too long to recoup money. You have a great thing there Milos, but maybe once you get these, they could be worked on to fit and make to different style openings in 1 of these wick holders.

GoldieMN Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Those look fantastic! I'm still figuring out if I want to switch jars but will be keeping these in mind. I only need 25 at a time, I think. Unless I ever get a big order like @Trappeur . GoldieMN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilosCandles Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 @Trappeur Yes these only fit 1 size. Not good for some one that makes various containers. Do you have 100 candles curing at 1 time? Usually the most I have curing at 1 time is 50-80, and usually by time I get to the end I can take off the holders from the 1st ones.
