DanaE Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 So far only one supplier carries low smoke zincs - wholesalessuppliesplus.com. I use these wicks almost exclusively now, and I'm currently testing them in my baked goods (cinnamon buns, apple pies, pumpkins, etc.).DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Do they really give off less smoke than regular zinc wicks? If so, I might have to give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Angela, they do give off less smoke, but they still mushroom. In fact, they give off little to no smoke in the candles I put them in. I used to LOVE my CD wicks, and still occasionally use them, but they would smoke if I didn't wick the candle perfectly because I max out the FO load in my candles. I don't think they mushroom as much as the original zincs, but it could be my opinion. I like them mostly because they burn a little hotter than regular zincs and there are enough sizes that I can usually find the correct one for any application. (sizes go 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 29,31 plus 1 for votives and 1 for tealights) It really is a matter of opinion though, since some people hate zincs and some love them DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I love the zinc wicks, couldn't care less about the mushrooming and hate the smoking. I might just have to try some of the low-smoke wicks, they sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I've done limited testing with the low smoke. When wicked properly there really is no smoke. I screwed up on one test and wicked to big. That baby smoked like a chimney. To me the mushroom seems lots smaller. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Is there a chart that corresponds the regular zinc sizes to the low smoke sizes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Is there a chart that corresponds the regular zinc sizes to the low smoke sizes?If you go to WSP they give you the corresponding size. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
