Wicks Unlimited???

[CandleCouture]

Anyone tried them? It's interesting to note that they carry most every wick imaginable, including their own line. More interesting still is that their cotton cored wick produces:

3.5" pool diameter, with only a 0.29 rate of consumption (their largest size)

compared to:

2.02" pool diameter, with a 0.28 rate of consupmtion, on the 62-52-18C cotton cores.

Has anyone ever used them?

I use them for the comparison chart...I think they have a 10,000 wick minimum. I live about 10 minutes from Adkins & Pierce and can't afford their minimum either...rats!

It would be nice if test data from different manufacturers was comparable, but it often isn't. If they tested their own wicks and got the other data from A&P, the performance difference you see might not be meaningful at all.

For example, look at the test data for HTP and CD (Stabilo). They should be different, maybe even distinctly different, but not worlds apart as you see. You couldn't use this info to realistically compare.

What we'd need is an independent party testing everyone's wicks.

Good point.
