nay2120 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I am looking for a burn rate consumption chart for Premier wicks. I have emailed the company, but thought I would see if anyone already has one.Thanks!!!Renee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEP Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Unfortunately, all they have to offer on the Premier wicks is a suggested use/size jar chart. They said that they haven't had these long enough to be able to do a burn rate chart. Seems like they would have tested before, but who knows. I have a bunch of the Premier here to test, but just haven't had the time. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nay2120 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Thanks for the thoughts!!I am interested in testing them again. I did get a sample pack last winter, and tested them, but I really want to try again.I currently use the htp 126 for my 1/2 pint, and pint wide mouth jars, and would like to retest the premier wicks. I am also killing myself trying to single wick the standard 4" wide apothecary jars, 10oz, and 16oz to add to my line.I am testing the htp 1312, and 1212. They both work great if I let them burn for hours.... I was hoping maybe the largest premier wick is hotter.Back to testing!!Thanks again!!!

stacien Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 1312 will not burn hot enough to single wick a 4 inch jar I have tried and tried you think it will at first and then it fizzles out in the middle. I think someone on this board did try it with the 700's and it was a no go. I have noticed these large soy companies like R**t and B**np*d and they use blends and use a zinc wick. A lot of people just have to throw in the towel and double wick. Besides its not that bad, It gives a greater scent throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Ya know, I really wouldn't bother.We all secretly hope for a wonder wick that can solve problems for us, but realistically I think Premier 700s don't do anything so special that other flat braided wicks don't do. It's not like this company has the experience and R&D to work miracles and blow away the offerings of Atkins & Pearce or Wedo.Sure, every line of wicks can have certain advantages. I'd love to mess with them some more myself. But there's probably no advantage that isn't outweighed by the fact that other excellent wicks are available in any quantity you want, any time you want, from suppliers all over the country.As for that burn data, OK maybe they don't have time to do the testing. But providing yield numbers doesn't require burn testing and it would be invaluable for comparing with other flat braided wicks and guestimating what size you might need. I'm sure they're received countless requests for wick data (including twice from me) but they can't even provide yields. Lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nay2120 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Stacy,Thanks for the info. I am ready to throw in the towel too. I dont know why I am really hoping to single wick. I have never had a double wick candle, so I really shouldnt judge, right???Top, I am sure that you are right about the Premier wicks. I am very happy with my burn for my current jars, so I dont know why I was looking to mess with the formula. I was curious to see the charting, to see if their largest wick burns hotter than the htp 1312, or even the rrd, lx, eco, etc... The charts are so important. Thanks for the thoughts!!

cowgirl Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Maybe you already know this since it is an old thread but Wickit does have a yield chart for the premier 700 series. Just thought you might like to know just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowgirl Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 That's good. Have they put it online or how do you get it?I just emailed them and asked for a yield chart not a burn chart. I was emailed back within an hour. So many choices I didn't know where to start. I started testing them today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
