KMommy Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I am using the regular Enchanted Lites wax with the modifier. I would like to know which type of wicks do most of you that use EL wax prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enchantedflorest Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I havent been making candles that long (less then 1 yr) but so far I have found the CD line to work alright for both jars I use with that wax. Im a realllllllll perfectionist so I dont know if anyone makes what I would call a perfect wick. What a dream it would be to never have to trim a wick or see a mushroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMommy Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Thanks for the reply. Looks like we are the only two using EL wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I use el soy wax and have been for about 2 1/2 years. I like htp's in mine. I don't know why I do but I prefer them.I also do use any of the modifer. Just fragrance and dye. Don't know if that helps you or not.

Rebecca Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I prefer the RRD series....they seem to be the best for me....very little mushrooming and no soot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiaII Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I used it for about one year and I always used HTP wicks. They worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittykat Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I use both the HTP's & CD's in my EL container. They burn about the same in my opinion and between the 2 series I have lots of sizes to wick pretty much any container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisajo Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I've been using EL 100% soy for a few years. I started off using the cotton wicks. Major PITA, since only so many suppliers carry them Now, I am gradually moving to HTPs since I can find those more places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gicandles Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I use mostly RRD's and for large or hard to burn containers/FO WI's. I also use the cotton and paper core (cotton is more flexible while paper is stiffer) wicks from wickit.net for votives and tealites. They have some handy charts on their website for sizing. I use a 28-24Paper for 2oz votives and it works great. They have several different options for coating your wicks. No coating, parrafin coating (ahhhh), natural coating, and highmelt coating (both natural and parafin). They make your wicks to custom order. They do have a minimum order, but their prices are so good. I order around 100 000 wicks at a time (minimum I think is 1000) and ship them across the states and into canada and they are still the best I have had both price and quality. They have a chart located here http://wickit.net/recommendations.html#ccw and if you call and ask they can tell you what size you need. Great customer service and will send samples, so you can test before ordering a box.Should mention that I use these all in EL Container, Millenium and Votive Blends. I also get their square braid wick and add a hardner to the Votive wax and make pillars, with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underground Candles Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I have been testing the EL Millennium Blend, so far I like the RRD series best. I haven't tested any of the fragrances that I usually had to wick up on yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisajo Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I use the regular 100% soy (not millenium) and I use cotton wicks. (edited because I tried to get away from cottons and couldn't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
