Lulu Belles Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 What wick do you recommend I use with IGI 4630? I am using 3" tumblers. Also using about 7% FO. What sizes would you recommend with the following wicks: LX, HTP, or CDs? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintguru Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I've gone to zinc core with 4630. I'm using 44-32-18 for containers around that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know! Thank you! Have you tired any of the ones I mentioned? If so, just curious what your results were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintguru Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I think I've tried them all. Most were reasonable once I found the right size, and likely would have been fine. I actually liked the Ecos, but from my reading online, it appears that many 4630 folks prefer zinc core, so I went with that. If you prefer a particular series, grab a sample pack and just run a few tests on different sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner14jc Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I usually start my testing with the LX wicks from what you mentioned. For that size container, probably something like the LX 22 as a starting point. Or the HTP can do well too, HTP 83 if I were to start testing. I haven't tried the CDs in that wax yet though.

Sarah S Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I use HTPs with a similar wax. Great throw. I agree with @runner14jc, start with an 83, and be prepared to wick up or down from there, depending on the fragrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu Belles Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 Just wanted to post an update. I'm almost finished with my test burn (3" tumbler, 7% FO from CS). So far you all have been spot on! The HTP 83, LX 22, and LX 20 are performing the best. I tried several CDs but they flames have been way too big (even with trimming) and they have given off a lot of soot. Thanks again for all the help!
