Michi Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I just have to say that I'm impressed with these guys, and I haven't even tested their wicks yet. I went on their site per someone's recommendation about getting wick samples from them.In their request form it asks you to state what type of jars you're currently using/trying to wick etc. and what you're trying to accomplish (ie. only use one wick in a large jar etc.) so I filled in all my info. asking only for wicks for two certain jars that I mainly use right now.A couple of days later I got an email with confirmation that they had rec'd my request and would be sending samples ASAP.Well, they did. It took about a month's time, but they sent this pkg. via UPS.I opened up this smallish box, and couldn't believe my eyes. They sent every size wick in their Superior 600 series- 15 sizes in all, and not just one or two wicks, but 6 wicks of each size!! I think that is awesome, and just poured a candle using one of the big dudes/wicks they sent (I'm sooooo hoping they will work for single wicking my 20oz. apoth. **crossing fingers**).Anyway, I just wanted to toot their horn a bit on the samples I know they are a newer company and are trying to drum up business but I thought that it was very nice of them to send sooo many wicks for FREE.Oh, and also, it states that if you find one or two or three that you feel are working, they will send a few more of those sizes for further testing. They DO have a 1000 piece minimum, but hey, if I can single wick this big dude, I'll buy that many in a heart beat. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yup, I got some too. I can't remember his name, but he even came here and posted about this over on the veggie side a while back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I got my sample box quite a while ago, but just haven't had the time (or inclination really) to do anything with them yet. I can't believe how many wicks they sent me though. Great sample deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosebay_1999 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I have been using their wicks for awhile now.

Bev Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I received my sample box of 700 series wicks a couple of weeks ago. I was AMAZED at how many wicks I received. I haven't had a chance to test them yet but hope to soon. Keeping my fingers crossed some of them work in my containers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I can't believe they sent that many samples. It was so nice of them. I have tested some of the 700's in my votives and increased the burn time 2 hours. I am really liking these. Poured some jars today to test tomorrow. I am so ready to DUMP the zincs.

Dixie Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 After testing for more than a year these wicks are the wick of choice for me! I recommend all of you to order a FREE sample from them. They will send you a boatload of them to test.Dixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been testing the 700 series wicks and requested a sample of the 600 series wicks over a month ago and haven't received them yet. I was also wondering if you knew what the basexneck field is for on their order form on the website. When I contacted Joe Blythe (after not recieving a response from the info e-mail address on the website after a month), his response was "The base is the round part on the bottom and the neck is the piece that extend upwards from the base. The measurements are in Millimeters." However when I measured out the 22 OZ apothecary jar that I wanted to order wicks for it is larger than the standard sizes on their web site.When I measure the base it is 9 cm which would convert to 90 Millimeters, the neck measures 7.5 cm which would convert to 75 Millimeters. The largest baseXneck they have for a wick on their site is 38mmX4mm. Am I calculating this correctly for a standard 22 ounce apothecary jar? I don't understand the importance of the baseXneck. Have you ordered wicks yet or are you still using your samples?Thanks,Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrie Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Ann, the basexneck is only about the wick tab, it has nothing to do with the size of your container. Most wick tabs are 20mm, another popular one is 15mm, which I use for all my tealights because they are smaller and fit into the small indentation in the bottom of the tealight cup.The "neck" refers to how tall the tabs neck will be. Some like to have it as high as 9mm so a person can't burn the candle to the very bottom of the jar, it will go out at 9mm. I use the 3mm because I have never had a problem with them and have used them from the start. Finding a wick that will work in your jar will just require testing.

scentsationaldelites Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Gerrie,Thank you so much for the information! Your description of the baseXneck was very clear and easy to understand. I appreciate your knowledge and response. :smiley2: Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I emailed them the end of April...got a reply May 4th but still haven't received mine. I hope they didn't forget about me. In my email from them, they suggested me to pay postage to due large response but would send even if I didn't. Anyone else get this email? I think the guys last name was Blythe.

gingerinarkansas Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 There would definitely be no large bills.Not sure what those are any more. Probably have to count it out in pennies but that would be pricey to ship.LOL Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
