lmao the shoutout to the crinkle paper on your shirt 😂 I love you wade!
🤣🤣 you noticed that huh? Lol
I would choose different colors to categorize / organize wick sizes, shapes, styles and if its a 1, 2 or 3 wick vessel.
Thanks!
Thank you for the suggestion Wade, I just ordered these through your link.
No problem. I love em
Game changer, the Kit is well worth the money. Thanks for always coming up with these great items, for a beginner every bit of info helps.
No problem. Thanks Lisa!
I am thinking of dipping my toes into candle making. I love watching your informative videos. I would say use each color to categorize them and keep everything organized.
❤️👍
After the video, use the link below if curious to explore them and try them out!

Yes, these tools are the best. I haven’t bought anything from them in a year. I just checked their website, and they have really expanded their product offerings. Very nice.
Yes great stuff!
Damn you Wade!! I see those in all of your videos and I am envious. I just need to do it and stop being a weenie 🤣😆
🤣🤣🤣
Suuuuper helpful! Lol I had no clue what wick placing tools were for but it makes sense now! I'm ordering some now, they'll save so much time and frustration!
I've been using these for months now. I love them. Very practical for short vessels. I only bought in black cause I love black. They have the vessel name on them anyway so it's not hard to know what goes where.
❤️👍
I have these too. They are fantastic and Alyssa is a sweetheart. I choose one color for each jar type---that way I don't have to think too hard about which clear plastic bag to grab when I need to wick my jars (I store mine in big, clear plastic bags).
Yep!
I like this company because they make these centering devices for wooden wicks! I struggle with getting my wood wicks center in the jelly jars and this helps out so much!!
I agree! Thanks Sammy
I use them already and they are legit game changer if u make candles these r a must have and not to mention Alyssa’s service is Top Notch !!!!
💯💯
I emailed them a couple months back when you me tinned them before.
I'm from Canada so I am not familiar with the American suppliers or their jars. They asked me to send them the link the the jars and tins I use, and they let me know that my vessels were the same size as ones from an American supplier. They sent me the links to the correct wick setters for each of my vessels. And they were super nice and friendly about it. I haven't ordered yet because shipping costs and duties hit hard for Canadians. But I will definitely be ordering some soon.
❤️👍
I ordered them the last time you mentioned them. I'm freaking obsessed now! I plan to order different colors by size I need. I'm undecided what I want engraved on them, if anything.
🤣💯🥰
I love mine! total game changer.
Very much so!
These are fantastic especially for multi wicks
❤️👌
The wick holders are fantastic. I do, however, need to order custom setters. I use the round, low profile metal wood wick clips, and they don’t fit down the tube of the setter and I have to hold them in place from the top with tension. It actually slows me down, so I need to place a new custom order. Their Customer Service is AMAZING and they are incredibly friendly and responsive. Won't use anyone else from here on out...and yes, I geeked out seeing my own name customized on the setters! Love it!
Haha exactly! And yes... the service is great and they can customize the tools to exactly what ya need, its nice.
You could use the color to help keep organized for scents you’re making that day. Super cool product!
❤️
I would use different color per vessel
👍👊
These are the best! Ordered them a few weeks ago and found that they did fit perfectly and do a great job. Thanks for the recommendation! I let them know that they found them through Wade.
🥰
I have been using them and love them !! Customer service is great !!
💯
This was so funny. I literally don’t need the blindfold because I already have very low vision. You are right these are the best. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha. Thanks Paula!
I just received the ones I ordered after watching this video. Absolutely love them. Wish I’d known about them sooner.
Awesome. Yes they are great!
I LOVE color! Color coordination would be smart. Or having the jar type printed on the pieces is great too, but extra cost. Bubblegum & charcoal are my top 2 choices. These are on my wish list. Can we get a discount code for Norden?! 😁
I agree. And you can shoot Alyssa a message and ask. Being a small business they have less wiggle room on margins ya know but it might be worth asking. They do offer better pricing when ordering bulk
I can attest to how cool these are! I did their vessel trade in program to get custom fits for my candle science tins, it was fast and easy, and they fit beautifully!!
❤️💯
Thank you so much for making this video. I just switched to new jars and the wick holders I had before do not work with them. I plan to buy their kit that comes with a wick setter and 12 wick holders.
❤️👍
Have been using them for a few weeks now after seeing you use them on some videos. Coming from the easy wick setter, that one had too much play and never seemed to fit the jars snug. These are a gamechanger for sure. Ease of use, consistency and cost make them a no brainer purchase and likely one of the only things I can safely say I don't have to worry about functioning properly when making candles.
Absolutely agree! Way more consistent and accurate. There is something to be said for a single tool that can fit multiple jars. But it doesn't fit super well like these do!
@@BlackTieBarn for sure. I'm glad to have the ez wick one for any odd vessels I try but if that vessels a keeper I'll be sure to get the Nordens for continued use.
I used to use the EZ Wick Tool and every time my wick was off centered. Ordered another one and same issue. I am definitely going to try these! TY for this info!
No problem!
Thank you do much I just placed an order game changer!
❤️
Omg! Awesome video! I’ve been on the hunt for a good wick setter. This will save so much time. Gotta get an order in. Thanks, Wade!
Thanks man. I think you will love them!
I got some and I love them. ❤️ pink is my first color . I will get different colors in the future. Thank you.
❤️❤️
I will be making candles soon and have loved your videos that I can understand and which will help me prosper. Although I don't plan on becoming a business because I am 71 years old, I am going to proceed with a business mentality. I am definately going to get this product! Thanks for all the wonderful videos you see and the super explanation about the products and how to use them, as well as pro's and con's in a lot of your videos. . I can't wait to get started, but like your beginner video I am taking it slow ~ watching your videos and rewatching.
I ordered two sets of these!!! Amazing customer service and product. ❤ Also, SMARTIES MADE MY DAY!!!!
Lol. I agree
These!!! ✨✨✨this company is absolutely amazing. I sent in a vessel to have it custom wick setter and clips done. It was perfect! And just bought the bubble gum pink double setter for my larger glass vessel. If you haven’t tried them, you’re missing out! I plan to buy more!
100% agree
These are amazing! I saw these on your last video about them and I decided to give them a try. OMG. They are so easy and fit so perfectly on my jars! Thank you Wade for recommending them!
Yes they are. No problem!
Thanks so much for recommending these! I just placed an order. My current wick centering device does not center my wick half of the time so I am excited to try these. Thanks!
You're welcome Joni!
I have been looking on Etsy. Not getting fast replies. This is exactly what I need! Thank you for doing this!
No problem Lynn!
I'm gonna order some of these for 12/oz straight sided jars I have . Love the videos you have helped me out so much with the information in your vids!
No problem Brandon. Thanks for the feedback!
those are pretty cool. I 3d print custom ones for my wifes candles. Color for us doesn't matter because we get a ton per roll of filament. I just recently started putting the size on the side of them, but most vessels are substantially different.
👍
Do you by any chance have the stl or cad model that you would be willing to share?
love love. I'd get the colours to coincide with the sizes of the jars
Ok. That's what I've been doing thus far. Popular answer. :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I’ve been looking at them. Thank you Wade❤️❤️❤️
No problem!
I just ordered 4. I chose my company colors. Can't wait to use them!
Amazing
@@BlackTieBarn Follow up... I LOVE these things. Wicking is so much faster. Thanks for this post! 😃🕯
So helpful! You are #1 for having the best advice and videos ❤
I’d definitely choose different colors ! I’ve been looking for wick centering tools thank you! 😊
You're welcome
Thankyou for another interesting video,your helping me so much on my journey towards candle making
Great! Thanks Caroline!
I order some of those tins you showed us about four months ago and your code still works by the way so thank you! Now I’ll be ordering these!
Oh that's great!
Whats the code? Blacktiebarn?
@@DistantAll no code. Just use the specific link below. ;)
@@DistantAll BTB20OFF
Great looking products! As someone getting started I would like to have one color for specific jar. That would help me keep things organized... I hope !! LOL
I agree!
I just bought a set! I’m so excited! Thank you for the great tip
❤️ you're welcome
Just ordered some! Can’t wait to get them! 🤗
🤗😁👍
Love these, got ours a few weeks ago. They work great.
Awesome! Yes they are
I have use these for the 8 ounce mason jars when you did a video on them a while back
I love them I do make concrete jars, so I’m in the process of getting ready to order for those as far as the colors I would choose them by the jar
❤️
It really is cool what you can do with 3D printing. Whoever did the design work did an absolutely fantastic job, both in terms of function and ease of printing/customizing. Very reasonable pricing, too. I would advise you, though, that if they are saying that they are using a biodegradable plant based plastic, that would mean the products are made from PLA. PLA is great stuff and a staple of the 3D printing world, but anyone that tries to tell you that it is in any way green is either lying to you or doesn't know what they are talking about. If you want to know more, the info regarding its sustainability and degradability is widely available online from a legion of reputable sources.
Thanks Ian!
Well I certainly hope you were sponsored for that promotion!! I know I would certainly give you free products for that perfect pitch! 👍
Btw different colour for each type of jar is the way to go for sure!
Awesome. That's what I was thinking too! :)
Great video, where'd you find the pourer, it looks like a long tube.
Hi Pam. Not sure aure what you are referring to...
I have them and I used them, originally had one arrive broke but their customer service was amazing and replaced it no questions asked. I don’t think it was their fault damaged in shipping. Looked like the mailman drop kicked the box across the yard
🤣🤣
❤ I would use different colors with description of what jars each color is assigned to
❤️👍
Is there a video on what you use to pour your wax. I've hit my wick holder with wax during my pouring process. It's ready to clean up, but it's time-consuming.
If hand pouring I put them on after. Much easier. Less/no mess. If using my pumper for very large batching it's a small nozzle and I put then on before or after. doesn't matter in that case.
Last time I used my wick centering tool after I poured the wax, the wick sticker/wick came off the bottom of the jar. But I will try it again if it's easier. I'm going to try the Norden products though to see if that helps me. I'm actually blind in 1 eye, so hitting dead center is hard for me so that's another reason I'm going to try the products.
Can the holders be used for any size jars . I’m not living in the USA and I’m want to get a wick centring tool that easy use but not too expensive as well
They make them for any jar. :)
I will definitely purchase these. Where do you get those style of jars? Looking for a new supplier.
Try makesy!
Ok, I’m excited because I have cases of vessels from dream vessels!
Awesome. They fit everything so well
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS!!!!!!
No problem Kim!
Love the video I’m going to try these. But funny note did you drink coffee before this video? 😂😂😂 you have so much energy you need to bottle that and send some my way.
🤣🤣😆 honestly, I just happened to sleep for once before I recorded. Lol
I love these!! I have actually been wandering about them because I saw them in your other videos, Wade they should have given you an affiliate link with a % off the price because we are ordering because you demonstrated & showed us everything about them, and you are sending traffic to their website. I will hold off for a bit in buying them, in the hope they do that for you, which I am a little surprised they haven't done for you already.
They are exactly what we need, they are perfect!!
The link in the description does help support the channel. And they sponsored this video. :) all good!
@@BlackTieBarn Nice!!
Sold!
❤️
I would pick colors base of my brand colors.
Thanks Don!
Love these wick setters
❤️
Hi hi I always enjoy watching your video.... watching from Trinidad and Tobago.....
Thanks Roxanne!
So, do they Not have the vessel inventory for Candle Science??
Yep they do. I use tons from CS. It's on their site. Scroll down about 1/3rd of the way in between Candles and Supplies and Candle Wic
I can’t order the wick tops and so. I should do need them
Can you pour the wax then put on the wick clip?
Yep I usually do. Less mess.
I would use different colors for different scents, for example. So I don't have to write the name of the scents... Just a thought.
👍
Can you say #GameChanger!!! Thank you once again, Wade! You are always keeping me in the know to make the best possible products for my clients, friends, and family. Used the link and placed my order right after watching the video.
Thanks Debra! Appreciate the feedback
:)
I would pick the color per jar and I might even Mit the name of the jars on them instead on my name on there. I have had fog brain since I had got covid this year so that may be a good think for me!
Thinking the same thing!
I just have to figure out what jar I like before I order. 🤔
What was that device you showed pouring into those candles?
You can check it out in this recent video. ;)
ua-cam.com/video/8NOexhPySss/v-deo.html
Got some after watching this video, but ran into an issue. I normally use foil pans to slow the cooling process on my 6006 to prevent massive sink holes, but using these in foil pans causes them to shrink and become impossible to remove from the jar. I contacted the company and they confirmed, no preheating the jars and no using foil pans. I now am back to massive sink holes and double pours, is there any other way I can prevent these massive sink holes without using these two methods. Guess I might switch to problend 600, but have done all my work and testing with 6006.
I have these on my wish list!!
For sure!
I clicked on the link for this Co. And I have a case of 8 and 9 oz candles purchased from Amazon. Only issue is when you tic the appropriate box, candle wick and Colour; there's No Size or description ie "Diameter". Soooo not sure how I feel about making a "Blind Purchase" 🤔
Ps. Would love to try these
They are sold by specific jar. So you choose the supplier and the jar and the clips for those. They are very popular and nothing but good feedback. 😉 you can also message them to confirm if you are worried about a specific product. Alyssa is awesome
@@BlackTieBarn Yes, when supplier "Amazon" is chosen the option is like ceramic or cement 🤔
Thank you for your review/advice ☺️ I'll probably contact them before purchase
I love the "Merlot" colour but would be very disappointed if they didn't fit my 8 and 9 oz jars :-(
@Sheri T oh I see. Sorry didn't see that they were from Amazon. Yah that will be tougher to nail down as amazon isn't necessarily a specific or consistent supplier of candle jars. It would be harder for them to design around Amazon since they sell so much stuff. You may just send them a link to the product and ask. :)
Nice
❤️
These look amazing!
I never set it up past this video because was crazy busy and then shortly after was looking at these new options. So not much wasted effort. :)
That looks awesome! I am thinking about starting (not sure yet) but I was looking in too all that comes with the candle making business. But I think they don't sell any here in the netherlands...But love your video's and all your tips thank you Rgds Bianca
❤️
Where do you buy your wicks? I am looking for wicks that will melt a 3 inch diameter.
Will depend on your wax more than anything. I buy my wicks from several places as I use several kinds based on the wax and jar in using if that makes sense. Your best bet is search based off your wax. Others here as well as ok my FB group can really assist with that info
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you
Can I email you? I have questions like, where do i buy fragrance, wicks, and wax. What do you recommend starting out. Im all in
I literally just bought the EZ wick setter from CandleScience😅 might have to look into this haha!
It's fine too if it works for your Jat. L Ike I said I've used it for years. But it never quote fit just right. Plus I needed more wick clips anyway which led me to Norden. Got both. :)
I had that wick setter too---these are SO. MUCH. BETTER.
@@BlackTieBarn It arrives today and I have no idea if it fits my jars. I am just tired of eye balling the middle haha! The wick clips so look very nice! I'll have to look into them vs what I am using right now haha!
@@s44577 The setter arrives today so I will see how it fits my jars. I do really like the customization Norden offers!
interesting. They look 3d printed. I will check them out!
They are great quality... however they are made.
I tried to purchase some of these but when you fill out your information and click on to shipping, it kept going in circles and an error message would pop up saying something went wrong. I wonder if the site crashed? I’ll try it again during the day time because these look nice and I haven’t bought a centering tool yet.
Hmm. Hasn't happened to me but it could be the site being busy. Try a different browser or computer if you haven't already. If still having an issue shoot them a message. Their support is great
Ok, it went through. That was strange but Igot confirmation. These will be great. I have been dabbling with candles for some time now and I have watched all of your videos and I’m still trying to find the right wicks for my vessels and trying to make my way not look so yuck. I have bought a huge box of the soy c3 but I’m getting better. I finally found the sweet spot on the pour temp. Now I just need to get the wicks right. Thank you for all of your content!
Which supplier do you use for your jars? And I would color coordinate by size
How do you order please?
Their website. Nordencandlesupply.com I believe. Also in the description of this video. :)
Unfortunate these are not for sale in my country :(
Ahh bummer!
pro-tip do not try to heat gun wax off of these lol learned that the hard way
Lol. Well you CAAAN just low heat and slowly from far away. Lol. But, no seriously, I don't use heat guns on any wick clips. Lol
So I bought 9oz jelly jars from Amazon would these work
You get the ones specific to your jars. They aren't a single size for everything. So if you go to their site, and search for vendor or size. I'm sure they have them though
@@BlackTieBarn ok thanks and another question is when I print t out my labels and peel them off there is still a little bit of white or black sk how do I change that
@@ItsJessie915 you'll need to just keep tweaking your design and alignment on your printer. Not something I can really help with from here obviously so it's just something you have to keep tweaking. Printer alignment is never fun. Lol
@@BlackTieBarn what should it be aligned too
@@ItsJessie915 I can't help with that. It's specific to your printer, labels, and any label program you might be using. This isn't something I can help with directly from here. Follow the label instructions and your print instructions. They should give some guide on how to print labels. Just experiment with tweaking your design to it prints correctly.
I don’t see wood wicks centering tools 😢
They are there. Just choose your vessel as you normally would then there is option for what type of wick and wize on that vessel product page. I use their woodwick ones all the time. :)
My wife and I make goats milk soap and we wrap them in tissue paper and my wife picks the color what she thinks match’s the sent maybe get colors that match the different sent’s you use
Thanks Dennis. Problem is... they don't have 1000 colors. 🤣 lol. But in all seriousness. I'll probably use different color for different jars for now. :)
I am a blue lover so I will pick blue first..lol
Yah those blue ones are gorgeous
@@BlackTieBarn yep ...sad that I can't have the joy off useing it as shopping an shipping to Trinidad and Tobago are way way high
Would like to order
Yes
How to buy the right size
Sweeeeet
😁
I would love to buy one if this wick setter.
For sure!
The wick holders seem awesome, but $35 for 12 seems a bit steep, especially if you want a bunch of them.
Not the cheapest but the difference in quality is noticeable. They are pretty in line with many of the wick tools being made these days to be honest. But as far as bulk.... you can get price breaks on bulk of you contact them. Maybe try them out first of you want and then reach out for bulk pricing.
@@BlackTieBarn Yeah, definitely gonna order some. I'm not at a point to be ordering them in bulk quite yet lol.
$35 for 12 seems steep, i hope they truly work phenomenal...
Pretty standard these days for quality ones. And they last forever too. You can find cheaper, sure. But it's a noticeable difference. Also, if you need a lot and wanna buy more bulk, let them know.... price breaks. 👍
@@BlackTieBarn I placed an order, I feel like I've tried everything but these look great if they are phenomenal I'll defiantly order bulk, Thanks Wade!
@@Jesus-warrior man... I've used probably 30 different kinds over the past 12 years. All I can say for me.... it's been worth it!
@@BlackTieBarn Wade, i ordered them and they are way backed up so you def sent them an army of Deliveries, however that's not why i'm commenting, you being my favorite candle Yotuuber, i have a question, so adding more fragrance does not = better hott throw I get that, but will it add a DR effect? like i did a small batch of 3 9 oz jars and a half lol, with 1 oz of fragrance, for whatever reason these candles are SLAPPING, like it smell phenomenal, usually i do 5 Candles per bacth, 2 lbs of wax and 2 oz, of fragrance, these cured like a week, these were just testing to see if i wanted to add this fragrance and these are the best candles I've ever made so I'm and confused. so if i did like 2.5 oz per 2 lbs would it DR? this may sound dumb idk i'm confused thank!
@@BlackTieBarn Wade, I just realized when I thought I was dong 2oz of fragrance I was actually pouring like 4oz.... my tools were not accurate for like 8 months!!!
so is there a DR on to much fragrance ?
