mizbizzyb Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 You are going to get many different answers. However if you want to try a different wick other than the CD's...try the HTP, LX or Premier. Shucks, try the zinc some people love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yup all the ones Stinger Butt mentioned throw like hell. Cotton core, paper core, ECO and RRD also work great in J-223! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yup all the ones Stinger Butt mentioned throw like hell.

linwvr Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 what size zincs for a 8 oz jj? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty in SC Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 It depends on your oil. With most of my oils a 44-32-18 works fine, but with some I have to use a 51-32-18. When I'm testing I always start with the smaller wick size first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenmimi Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I use the 51 in the 8 oz and never have any problems - great hot throw and burns good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
