Carrie Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 They were a PITA for me to wick so I put them on a shelf and never looked at them again except to move them out of the way occasionally.Sorry, no help here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanglow Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 They are a pain to wick but once you get it down it's so worth it. I love the way they look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 They weren't that difficult for me to wick. Two wicks won't cut it, you have to use three. I don't know what wax or wicks you're using but I used three LX-24's (if I'm recalling correctly, haven't made those containers in a while) in J-50 and they burned great. I also don't remember how many wicks I tried prior to that, but I don't recall having a whole lot of trouble with that container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredron Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Never had a problem wicking mine. Been using them in 3 sizes since day 1. I use a 6 oz, a 16 oz, and a 24 oz. I use 60-44-18z's in the 6 and 16oz, and 3 60-44-18z's in our big Bazoomba. I realize the 6 oz might be over wicked, but I've never had a problem, and I sell a million of them. The 3 wicks work really well in the big one also. Our jars are smaller at the top, bigger in the middle, and smaller at the bottom. I think the shape of the jar helps get the jar wall warm, and the wax melts all the way down. Many of our customers comment they've never had a candle that used all the wax the way ours do.Fredron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanglow Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I should clarify that mine were a pita to wick because I use palm and mine are 10 oz jars. I had to get it so that there was no hangup but also not too hot. That's where it was a pain for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
