gingerinarkansas Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 For all of you that make wickless candles, do you charge the same price as ones with wicks or less? I was checking out some different sights today and noticed one that charge $1.00 more for wickless. I just supposed that you would charge a little less cause you are leaving the wick out and it just seems less hassle. Please tell me the pros and cons of wickless.TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I charge the same for wickless. Wickless candles are nice for people who don't want to have a flame. I make mine in my 10 oz jar which fits perfectly on the candle warmers I sell. The disadvantage to wickless is that you have to wait awhile for the wax to melt to start getting it to throw. Another disadvantage , and I put this on my warning label is that children sometimes don't associate these with hot because there is no flame.

Candle Man Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 On average a wick and stickum is only .10 cents.Where you read they charged more for wickless may be because they added more FO. You can add more FO to a wickless because you are not burning it but you can only add so much more FO to a point. Wax can only hold so much FO before the FO seeps out. In the case of a wickless to much FO could be a hazzard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Thanks for the info. I don't make wickless but it always seemed better cause you didn't have to deal with that da^m little wick. I just thought it was strange to charge more for them. Thanks for the input.
