Anyone use enamelware cups for soy candles?

[Wildcrafter]

I have 40 pounds of 100% Soy Container Wax left over from failed attempts to figure out wicking for a small metal square container and a small glass container.

I saw a company that does soy and beeswax candles in 4 oz. tin enamelware cups and they looked really cute. I found a place where I can get them for 2.65 a piece.

Does anyone use these or similar containers for making soy candles? Any ideas of wicks? I hate to get them and then find out I can't figure out the wicks again. The whole candle thing has really stumped me.

Here is a place that might be cheaper. http://www.craftcatalog.com/Enamelware-Mug---White---2-12-P107556C0.aspx

OhioWholesale used to have them too at a cheaper price but I couldn't find them on the site today (site is tricky to navigate so I may have missed them). My son has used the mugs before for his candles and they were very nice.

Thank you so much for the site. I tried to navigate around ohio wholesale myself yesterday and today and finally sent them an email saying that I was going to have to go to another company to purchase what I needed because every time I put something in the search engine, it comes up with everything BUT what I'm looking for and I don't have to time to search by category and then each subcategory.

I may buy these mugs, although they are bigger than what I'm looking for. I'm wondering what wicks would work in them?

I would be using EOs, not FOs, which I understand make a difference in wicking.
