HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT WICK
Most people usually think that most important elements of a candle are fragrance, shape, or color. However, the wick also has an essential role.
Importance of the wick
The purpose of a wick is to deliver fuel (wax) to the flame and draws the liquefied wax up into the flame to burn.
Different wick sizes allow for different amounts of fuel to be drawn into the flame. If the wick is not correct, it is likely that the candle will not burn well.
Excessive fuel and the flame will be too high, and the wax will burn too fast. It can create smoke and soot, thus compromising the release of the fragrance; Insufficient fuel and the flame will be unstable and burn only part of the candle because it does not have enough fuel to melt all the wax (tunneling) or possibly extinguish itself.
So, selecting the correct wick is crucial
Wick Selection Guide
All our wicks are ready for use and currently available in a variety of diameters (sizes) and lengths.
Choose the wick according to the size of your candle holder container:
For candles with diameters of 10 cm or more, we suggest using 3 wicks placed equidistant and with a safety margin in relation to the container walls.
