Low smoke wicks from WSP ?

[Scent Cellar]

For those that have used the low smoke wicks...do you notice less smoking and is the chart on WPS pretty accurate for the comparison to the regular zinc wicks regarding size?

I use these....a lot. They smoke less, but still mushroom. I can't remember what the mushrooming looked like on the regular zinc, but I get the impression that these don't mushroom as much.

I've found that if it says it's comparable to a 51Z, it's actually hotter; more like between a 51Z and 60Z. So if you use a 51Z normally, you could probably still use it's equivalent, a low smoke 21, but I'd try a low smoke 23 also (one size down) to see if it'll work. I use a low smoke 19 in my mottled/rustic pillars, and a low smoke 17 in my OK6228 pillars. When I used 1274 mottling wax I used a low smoke 21 and it was absolutely perfect. Unfortunately I can't afford the shipping on that wax, and had to go with a mottling wax from a supplier that is closer to me.

I'd highly recommend buying a sample pack of them. That's how I started, and found that they didn't seem to have a wick small enough for a votive. Even their smallest size was too hot. They've added a couple of sizes since then, so they may have something. I know they didn't have low smoke 15's when I first started ordering them, but they do now. (they low smoke zinc for votives is WAY too hot for my OK6228 votives)
