linwvr Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Where do you order the CD wicks everyone talks about. I haven't seen them on Peak's website. I ordered J223 and some zinc wicks, but now I'm starting to worry that I'm not going to get the hot throw I was hoping for. I'm making my first candle with my new stuff tonight...wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Peaks sells HTP which are similar to CDs. Did you try Lonestar to see if they carry them? Don't know of any other supplier in TX. I use PA suppliers (Candlewic and Candles and Supplies). Be sure to start with a sample pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 You might post in the classifieds ISO CD wicking and see if others have smaller quantities they may sell to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleScents Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 now I'm starting to worry that I'm not going to get the hot throw I was hoping for. I have to agree with Sharon on that one too Jim! I've been using J223 for a few years now. I also switched to CD's and love them. I get a great hot throw. I usually use 1 oz/ppw and add it between 160-165 and pour between 155-160. So, we are on the same plane as far as temps.Pitifully poor hot sent throw Don’t let a few posts deter you from testing your zinc wicks and your J223. I get an excellent hot and cold throw from my J223 and zinc wicks. Before you purchase your CD's do some testing with the zinc to see if you get a good throw first. I have heard allot of people complain on here about the CD's & HTP's, Cotton Core smoke too much.You need to test see what is right for you.

For some odd reason, the sizes are different from the different suppliers. I get mine from BCN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Lonestar carries them, and I think BCS also carries them, if you live in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
