cmspath Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I currently use the HTP and sometimes CD's since they are so close to each other, heard abou these Premier 700 Series and was wondering how people like them, if you used the HTP's what did you find in different between the two etc.. I appreciate any feedback..TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 That is like comparing apples to oranges. Two very differant style of wicks. So far compared to other cotton wicks I have use they are an improvement. I have only done a few tests but I am liking them so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I am in the process of converting from HTP to these. Great throw and no falling over in my new blend of wax. So this is going to be an easy process, as I test an FO in the new blend, I am going to be testing wicks. 2 birds knocked out with one stone.I am loving these wicks.

jgcurtis1961 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I really like these wicks. I have been testing them using GW 444 in wide mouth mason jars. I was unable to get these jars wicked right with HTP's but was able to single wick with these wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 These are really good wicks. They don't mushroom as much whihc is nice. They also come in a huge variety of sizes, so it isn't terribly hard to find the one that works. I haven't ever found myself needing "the size in between", if you know what I mean. I would definitely give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I, too, am still testing these wicks but so far I really like them. I love the stability of these wicks in my pure soy candles. And as AngelaVA stated, they come in a huge assortment of sizes, which is great. Give them a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

hewells Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I too am testing these wicks and finding them much easier to work with. There are so many sizes to choose from I haven't found myself needing one that isn't available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I think I requested samples...haven't seen them yet so now I'm not so sure if I did request them...my brain is failing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meredith_D Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I think I requested samples...haven't seen them yet so now I'm not so sure if I did request them...my brain is failing!I requested some, too. I received an email back from them, but no wicks yet. It might just take a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekrunner Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I got some too and I am very happy with them. They don't curl as much as HTPs, so I don't have to worry about which way to position the wicks when double wicking. Great range of sizes, and I was finally able to single wick 16 oz keepsakes that would not single wick even with the largest and hottest HTP, and the largest 700 series, the 798, will come pretty close to working in a 3 3/4 to 4 inch wide jar.Only thing to consider is that minimum order qty from Wick-It is 1000 units, but on a per-100 basis they are less than other brands. If we get enough CTers using the wicks we could start a Premier 700 wick co-op going.geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
