Joannec Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hi,I am using wax j223 and trying to wick a canning jar, they are called kilner jars, think they are similar to your mason jars. The top diameter is just under 3 inches and the rest of jar is roughly 3 and quarter inches. I wondered if someone could suggest an Eco wick size to start testing with? I have tried an Eco 10 but flame seems quite small.Thanks xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 In my experience the zinc wicks have always worked best with the J223 (IGI 4633). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joannec Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hiya,I do have zinc wicks, what size would you recommend? The biggest I have is the 51z? X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 In that diameter I'd use a 60-44-18z wick. The 51 will be too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joannec Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thankyou very much for your reply. I'm not sure if I like the zinc wicks, sometimes they seem to get a white ash on the top of the wicks? Would you know what causes this?

wthomas57 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 This usually happens when it's undersigned. Try going up a size or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansasEarthandSkyCandle Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I use EricX Light Organic Hemp Candle Wicks. They seem to burn really nicely from our testing. Its also a renewable and fairly clean burning wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
