AngelaVA Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I've never heard of them either, but am interested to hear a review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleCouture Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 I've not yet tried them. I will be pouring some testers this week. I called over there and spoke with someone who was so helpful it was unbelievable. Given my type of wax (GL 70/30), he recommended, and sent, samples of two wicks. The Stabilos (better known as CD's), and the FW's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgie Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I've used the FW wicks before when I used to work with Apothecary jars. I really liked them. They were the only wick I could ever find to single wick an Apothecary with soy. For the most part they burn pretty clean. Sometimes I would get a little soot on the jars but not much.

Jeana Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I was sent a bunch of samples from wicks unlimited too. But they are the only ones who sell them and they have a minimum of 5000 pieces to buy of any type of wick. So I never tried them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleCouture Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Actually, their minimum is 10,000. And, I know someone else sells them, I just don't remember who. If you do a search on here, though, you will find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgie Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Moon Glow sells a few of the larger sizes. That's where I got mine from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleCouture Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Budgie, how do you like these wicks and how do they compare to other wicks out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Ok- now you all have peaked my interest. I am almost positive I have some sampler wicks from Wick It from one of these candle conventions. I am more interested now as Budgie said she can wick a larger jar with one wick.I am going to research this more. I'll be watching this thread more info.Keep it coming... LOL!!

CandleCouture Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 I don't think Wickit sells these wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Oh- I must have misread the posts. Who does?Edited because *I* mistyped- I should have said I think I have wicks from Wicks Unlimited.Bad day- and I don't have my contacts in.

Budgie Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I really liked these wicks when I used them. They are described as self-trimming, but I did not find that to be the case. Well, at least they're not like other self-trimming wicks I've used. The wick stayed straight up and did not bend over. The flame gets a little bigger than normal, but the part of the wick that is burning stays small (does that make sense?) so you don't have to trim them that much. I could usually get away with using a 3x32 or 3x34 in the Apothecaries (4" diameter), but sometimes I had to go up to a 3x36. I was using CB-135 with the jars - not 100% soy. I've noticed the 135 to be easier to wick than 100% soy. Sometimes I would get slight mushrooming, but not much. When I was feeling lazy, I wouldn't trim the wick between burns and I had no problems with the flame getting too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
