In today's video, we are talking all things WICKS! When it comes to candle making, "how to choose the right wick" is one of the most commonly asked questions - I KNOW I WAS DEFINITELY CONFUSED AND OVERWHELMED. So I am breaking down the most commonly used wicks, giving a high-level overview of what they are used for, plus discuss the importance of testing! Enjoy 😊
P.S. I do keep a log of video ideas and suggestions, so more videos down the pipe. Thank you so much the support, feedback, recommendations, comments, and encouragement!

XO, P
You are a recent discovery for me and I must say that I’m so thankful for finding your videos. I have my scents down. I have my jars. I have my wax. I have all my tools and process down. The one thing that is so scary and overwhelming for me was wicks. CD vs ECO vs wood. What?????? Thank you so much. I haven’t even finished watching this yet but this video is so valuable and, honestly, one of the most important for people rattling their brain about wicks. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!! Subscribed.
So I discovered you a few days ago and I'm having a marathon on your channel. AWESOME CONTENT!
María Peppermery Thank you!
Me too like everyday .... I even left it on when I went out the house . When I got back my daughter said Mom I learned a lot about your new you tuber .. we love her!!!
@@Chosen4thislife Hahah thank you!
Same!
Do shoe strings and yarn 🧶 burns efficient or good like yarn. Can you use tree wooden twigs for candle wicks ??
So glad i found you... I been on a binge watch.. my husband thinks I should do this because I loveeeeeee candles! I’m excited
I really love how you keep motivating people to not give up. It is my very first making a candle and i was frustrating because my candle burns wild and producing some black smoke. Thank you so much.
Watching your videos encourage me to start my Candle business I was scared at first but watching you videos made me feel like maybe I can do it thank you
amandayhe 30 Yes lady, you absolutely can!! People want to hear your story too❤️ Thank you for watching!
You’re helping me so much 🙂 I’m not planning to sell candles, it’s just a new lockdown hobby lol, but I never thought that it’s such a complex procedure. Your channel is awesome 👏🏻
Awww that’s great ❤️❤️ Thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate the time and effort you take to make your videos.
Thank you so much!
Testing for quality, amen thank you Ms. Paris I am watching tons of your videos now and I am learning a lot

Sistren. New Subscriber. I really enjoy your soothing, down-to-earth commentary. You are so appreciated.
Thank you!
Thank you, this was helpful.
great video, thank you so much!!
maria Vazquez Thank you so much ❤️
It was awesome 👏
Thanks for sharing future candle maker. Fragrance mixing
Hello hope all is well. I made my 1st candle tonight out of my kit.. I think it went well. This was my test trial and now I know what kinks I need to work out. But the candle itself looks good, it's curing now in my tin. I just wanted to share with you that I didn't give up.
Thank you so much for making this video. Wicks are so overwhelming. What type of wick do you recommend for virgin coconut soy wax?
Thanks for the info LC. Would you mind making a video on using your own website vs third parties.
7s345 Hi!!! I did make a video on Marketing Platforms and briefly discussed having my own site vs Etsy and the pros and cons. However, I do plan on making a video going a little more in depth about Shopify soon and will be glad to dive in a bit deeper about other parties❤️ Thank you for watching!
what would you recommend for a paraffin soy blend? eco or cd? thank you for your helpful videos.
love your content. I felt calm while listening to you. Thank you! It would be great if you could add a photo of each type of wick to your video or having it in front of you, so we could easily see the difference.
That would be a lot of wicks just sitting lol. I am working on a wick guide though 👍🏽
Do shoe strings and yarn 🧶 burns efficient or good like yarn. Can you use tree wooden twigs for candle wicks ??
If you ever make a skillshare course please let me know your tutorials are great
Love this! You've inspired me to try candle making as a hobby. Thank you for making all of these videos.
Yay! Happy for you; and thank you❤️❤️❤️
This is glorious, been searching for "how much does it cost to make a soy candle?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Panlijah Inconceivable Position - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a good exclusive guide for discovering how to become a candle making master and turn a profit without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin got excellent results with it.
Thank you
Thanks LadyCimonne! This is useful information! Would you you be able to tell us how to determine what kind of wax I have in an old candle in order to reuse the wax for a new candle? Many thanks!
You will need to contact wherever you purchased it if it's not on the label or warning label.
If I wanted to use the ECO wicks for 8 oz jars, which type should I get? There are 8 types of 6" ECO wicks. Thanks! 😊
Really nice video🙂....I use ECO wicks and I am not sure that is the right type of wick for me 😂....the struggle is real😑 (I measured the tin diameter, considered the type of wax I am using which is soy wax 464, fragrance/EO percentage of max 10%)....now I started considering wooden wicks.
What wicks do you suggest for Coconut Apricot Wax?
Do shoe strings and yarn 🧶 burns efficient or good like yarn. Can you use tree wooden twigs for candle wicks ??
Hello. I'm using joy wax from natural Garden. I've been using all types of wicks and everything one it cam e wrong. Black smoking and mushrooms. Sometimes I see everything good and I say: finally I got the right wick and in the and the same thing. Black smoking and mushrooms. What do you recommend?
Thank you sooo much for that wick info. I'm very new to candle making. I'm doing all natural candles
Awesome👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What about lack of the wicks now?
I wanted to start with 6006
Does taking wicks depends upon like containers wht if we choose bigger wicks for smaller container
Can I heat jars in oven with the wicks in them. Was wondering how to keep warm if I wick after??? Help plz
Great video. Do you have a guide to candle to wick to download? Thanks
I will soon❤️
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo
Great, Thanks
How do we choose wicks that can be used in a jar and mould
Thank you so much for the information, I'm actually having a tough time with the wicks, I am finally pleased with the c-6 wax and after trying 4 different wicks it seems the eco wick burns better so far. Are there no wicks that burn straight up & down without folding? Also I sometimes get a high flame when I first light the candle and then it goes down is that normal 🤔
Typically all wicks do that. Just trim them before each use. You shouldn’t ever have a high flame so just make sure your wick’s first trim is a appropriate cut.
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Thank you so much you are truly appreciated and a big help. Also what suppliers do you recommend for the jars I normally choose nature's garden, flaming candle and candle science for wicks & fragrance oils
@@honeyb2917 Those suppliers are fine. But you won’t know until you try. Just Google candle suppliers or jars you like🙂
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Great thank you 🙏🏾
Have you ever used wood wicks? Could you recommend one
I have a wick guide freebie in LadyC’s Digital HQ. If you click the link under “All Things LadyC” in the description box and subscribe 🙂
Would it be okay to use a CD 10 wick in the straight sided jar instead of the CD 12?
When I tried it for me, I didn't get a good result. You will just need to test it :)
Hello there. thank you for the video. i spend like $200.00 or more in candles material and still dont have one good, they smoke, get a big mushorom , some times i dont feel the fragrace. the wax that im using i joy wax.
Maybe reach out to the suppler and see if they have any wick recommendations :)
I am having a problem with my candles bottle being black when candle burning
How can you measure your wick to cut it to 1/4 exactly without cutting it to small or to big after you have made the candles
DeNisha Johnson When using an actual wick trimmer, the way it’s made allows for it to cut correctly
Lovely Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Honulian Wiffy Remover (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for making money as a candle maker without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy after many years got excellent success with it.
Hi! Do you get better results with ECO wicks or CD wicks? I've been using CD 10, but wicked down due to large melt pool and mushrooming.
I prefer CD
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Thanks for responding! Thanks for making these awesome videos! May God bless you and your candle business!!!
@@meganweaver5200 Thank you!
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Forgot to ask you, have you tried fragrance oils from Lonestar Candle Co, if so how do they compare to Candlescience?
@@meganweaver5200 I’ve tried two...lavender and vanilla. And between Lonestar and The Flamming Candle, I prefer those two scents from these two companies better than Candle Science! So The Flamming Candle is my first go to for those two for my line and Lonestar is a back up.
My 2021 content will begin incorporating scent comparisons and doing reviews for you guys!
Do you cut your wicks to the 1/4 inch before you sell them or you let the customer cut it? I have tops on my tin containers. Is it okay for the wick to be bent because of the top?
Queen Lee I always trim my wick before selling them to customers
Okay great thank you
Do you ever have a problem with your jars getting too hot? My jars are hottt after 1 hour and I’m wondering if I’m being paranoid and if my candle will be dangerous. I’m hope to launch on Sunday but I’m wondering what I’m missing. Please help
Yes jars are going to get hot😀 Congratulations and good luck!
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo thanks hon. I swear I am learning patience in this process.
What is mushrooming LadyC?
Ok when I make candles now, what I am doing is melting down used candles to get my monies worth. What kind of wick should I use? I usually have bath and body works for my base. I have no idea if they are soy or what.
lynn sanderson Wicks is based on the size jar you are using.
What kind of wick should I use when I don’t know my wax?
lynn sanderson You will have to inquire about it. If your remelting was from a candle that you purchased, maybe call or email the store or company. And ask what wick recommendations they have. It’s all about research and sometimes digging for answers when you purchase supplies and products. 🙂
Hi I’m having the worst issue with my heat throw, is it my wick. How can I fix it
Using soy 464
With soy wax, you will not achieve a strong throw due to it being natural way and the nature of the wax's properties. Wick could be the issue of the fragrance load percentage you are using. Please check out my troubleshooting video and free guide (link in description box) that helps with this :)
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo ok thank you 😊
what number of wick do you use for your straight 9oz jars?
CD 12
thank you❤️
@@julidza087 i hi
Good morning, I hope all is well. I saw where you mentioned where you got your candle jar from and I went to their website. I am going to try testing soon and I saw it was a 9oz jar but I'm just trying to confirm if it's the Tumbler jar if you don't mind sharing. Thank you.
Straight Side Jar
Ok thank you
I found it, thanks again....
I figured out that I'm going to start with 464 soy wax and CD 12 for my wick. I discovered the wic guide and that helped me alot.
@@jacquelynmangum5848 those wicks worked for you? for a 9oz jar?
Do you have a video how to cut the wick
I have video in general on making candles where I trim the wick but not a video completely devoted to trimming the wick🙂
Hello. Does the wooden wick work well with soy wax?
Queen Lee Yes
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo thank you
Thanks, but would have been great if you practically show the various wicks and appropriate applications
How far should I cut wick from candle
1/4 inch🙂
I'm making candles with embeds. But the wicks are always drowning... Wich wicks should I use?
I ordered the htp ones, what do you think. I'm making candles with succulents and cacti embeds all soya
The embeds are not the issue. You need to contact the supplier of your wax and jars and determine what wick size you need👍🏽
What is a good website with wicks , fragrance and wax ?
I mostly order from Candle Science or The Flamming Candle😊
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Okay thank you ☺
@@kaylavanburen1242 Sure!
The music is so distracting, but I love your channel and the info. I'm interested in spiritual candles. Thank you so much❤❤❤
Altovise Wright Thank you! ❤️
This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "soy candles recipes" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Cenadoelyn Candle Contemplation - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got great success with it.
kevin rodirguez Oh okay great - thanks! And thank you for watching ❤️
Your music is fine honey~Great video
I didn't even notice the music. 🤷♀️
Hello I have a question. Are you wicks smokeless?
Yes they are
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo I have another question sorry . Can you explain how you calculate the numbers for the wax and oil
?
What is a core less wick?
Cotton braided wicks designed to bend at the tip when burning
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo Ever tried the beeswax coco creme from wooden wick?
@@mrrandy7525 I have not🙂
Do you cure your candles to produce a better HT?
Kiara Eaton When you cure your candles they do smell stronger; mine depends on orders and inventory at this point.
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo hello sorry to get in the middle.What does mean to cure the candles?
@@marisoldiaz6850 Letting them sit and settle; giving the wax and fragrance oil time to really infuse together prior to burning👍🏽
All the trial and error is so overwhelming.
It is smh😫😫
Love your videos and advise, but i find the music distracting!! Sorry, perhaps its just me 🤭
I really enjoy the music. It makes it more uplifting and fun, Thanks Lady C.
