leisa2003 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I have a customer who said she purchased a 16 wide mouth mason jar candle that was double wicked and she wants me to make her one double wicked. I have only made those with one zinc wick. If you were to double wick a 16 oz wide mouth mason with zinc wicks, where would you start? I know I am going to have to use 2 smaller zinc wicks.

puma52 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hey Leisa,Hmmm....I use only one zinc wick too for that jar. I think I would really try to talk them out of it because it really is designed for 1 wick (maybe the person who made it did their own thing), BUT if I were even going to think about doing a dble wick I would use the 44's. Curious to see other people's opinion on this too!:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which doesnt really make sense to me if you have the same depth of melt pool as a single wick. Its another online vendor who sells them double wicked and claims they throw better then a single wick.

puma52 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Tell her that you don't know where the other supplier gets her scents, but that YOUR scents come from Top of the Line Suppliers and with YOUR awesome candles she will only need 1 wick and her candle will last twice as long!

mtt Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Give her one candle with one of your wicks and have her burn it to show her it will work. I had a customer like that and after giving one for her to try she did agree with me and now she orders all the time from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I would say I only make single wicked in that size, don't like to double wick. So keep buying from the lady online since she makes the one she likes... I would not change for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandleindulgence Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi Sharon,Trying using the Eco series wicks for the 16 oz mason jar. These wicks burn far better. If you decide to use the Eco series you can try to double wick using either Eco 4 or Eco 6.I hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I am not sure how anyone answered this, she never said what wax she was using. A wide mouth mason is 3.5" so really not too small for two wicks. What wax are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
