Gdawg Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I am making votives again since I gave up on them lol but am wondering if there is a big difference between those two wicks. I have tested an HTP83 and it seems to do good but also wanted to try an LX14 didnt have one so I did an LX16 doing good also just a little bigger/deeper melt pool.I am using the ecosoya pillar blend wax and the votives are getting a full melt pool in the glass. Tried some CD's but don't really care for them.SOOO before I place an order was curious as to what wick I should go with. The HTP83 that I know is doing good or the LX14 which I have read many recomandations for this while surfing. I really thought I had some LX14 but no such luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffancy Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I've tested both the HTP83 and LX14 and I prefer the LX. I get an even melt pool right off the bat with the 14 whereas with the 83 it took awhile for the melt pool to even out because of the curl in the wick.
