TheClassicModern Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 A great starting point is woodenwick.com There's a guide to help you choose which wick works best your wax based off of diameter and height of your candle container. You can also purchase a sample pack with free shipping. Northstar3 and The Flaming Candle are 2 others that have wooden wicks. You can find them with several suppliers, but woodenwick in my opinion would be a great starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy T Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Agree with the above. Wooden Wick Co has the largest selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have much experience with wood wicks and it's been along time since I used any. Here's some links to other wood wick posts that may be helpful to you once you start testing.

Peggy T Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I used wood wicks exclusively for around 5 years. Most of the time my wax was 90% 464 and 10% coco83. Over time, I found a wick/wax/jar combination that worked fairly well. In my case I used a 1/2 booster wick in a 9 oz straight sided glass jar. You have to trim wood wicks every time, period. I had this on the product page when people ordered them and also did occasional social media posts about how to properly burn a ww candle. I actually printed a little 2x2" card with instructions that I included with purchases. Over those 5 years, I never had an issue with customers complaining about their candles. I never got significant debris like some of those pictures showed. Most issues are prevented by trimming the wick when the wax is completely solid. But that is the inherent challenge with wood wicks; it demands pretty rigorous compliance by the consumer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinB Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 You can find them on some candles supply stores. I have gotten some from CandlesandSupllies.net or Natures Garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
