htp vs. zinc 2 questions


Recommended Posts

1. Which of these two wick types burns hotter?

2. Which seems to have a better throw in 100% soy?

I have a soy blend candle that I bought somewhere and it has a really amazing throw--it uses zinc wicks. Now I realize that different blends will affect throw and so will different wicks, so since I don't know what the blend was I thought that I would ask your opinions concerning wicks. Currently I'm using HTPs and like them for the most part....

Also feel free to chime in with a different wick that you think has a good scent throw.

TIA

To answer both of your questions, HTP is one of the hottest wicks you can buy, compared to the zincs which are the coolest. They are almost at the opposite ends of the spectrum. In straight soy, the HTP is the better wick.
