- How to Choose a Candle Wick- Picking the right candle wick for your container
CandleScience Wick Guide: www.candlescience.com/learnin...
Choosing the right size wick can really make or break your candle business or hobby. You want a candle wick with the perfect burn time, melt pool, no flickering, no soot, and no smoke. It all can depend on what candle wax and container that you choose as well. Part 3 in my series for beginner candle makers I go over all the different candle wicks and what each of them are used for.

Thank you for this series. My daughters and I are just starting in a candle venture and this series breaks everything down so well. Thank you, again.
Lovely Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Honulian Wiffy Remover (search on google)? It is a good one of a kind product for making money as a candle maker minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my work colleague after a lifetime of fighting got cool results with it.
Ugh thank gif a good informative video ! Thank you :) to the point, detailed and concise !
Starting my candle business and buying everything today... Thank you for the tips, definitely took down notes on your video. Helps a lot, thank you again! :)
Happy Sunday ☺️ I am a beginner like some of the others here and I truly am struggling with the Rock size for my 8 ounce candle containers. I was desperately trying to find the proper sized wicks. It seems you have answered my question 🤗🥰 thank you do much. Have a peaceful and blessed day 💕🙏🏾🤗

Hi first time on your channel I enjoyed your videos I’m new to candle making and been testing since march 2022 you been a big help explaining wicks and sizes everything that you explain I did not know about these wicks but thanks to your videos you are a great help I will subscribe to your channel
Hello I enjoyed this I am. Beginner I was using two wicks and the flame was very big. I am using one wick now and trying to make it better thanks for this video
Great video ! Thanks !
Thank you very much for sharing.
This was very informative and useful. I am very interested in making my own candles and purchased a kit from pro candle supply but feel they set me up for failure in a way. They supplied the jars, wax, FO and wicks. They gave me instructions and after two fails I had to start re-evaluating the steps and now feel the wick they sent with this kit is the wrong type for the supplied equipment. I was really discouraged by this and am finding it hard to self motivate. This is not a cheap process and I want to keep trying. Watching series like this and others, that really help with educating and edifying me and my technique and really helps me stay optimistic. All that to say, thank you. You have a new subscriber in me. 😁 the video was great.
you can do this! it takes a lot of trial and error
Thanks a lot, this video has help me a lot!!!💕☺✨

Thank you for the information!! Helpful
Thank you for watching!!
Omg thank you for the information about the more than 3 inch!! My shit was pooling 😭😭before watching i did add another ! So I guess i knew before hand
I am so glad I found your channel. I’m almost 65 and no one ever said to burn the candle u til you have a nice burn pool. Or however you out it. I bought candle making stuff I believe off Amazon through reviews. It was ok. But now that I am learning more I see I screwed up. I was going for all natural so I bought essential oils, not fragrance oils. The wax I bought is 444. I have t seen many videos on it and have no idea what the difference is. It does melt to a beautiful white which impresses me. The wicks I have are 6” EricX Light. I’m having a hard time finding info on those as well. I just made candles with them in the small mason jars. They are about 2-1/2” wide, 4” tall. They look pretty but they don’t melt to the edge. So I’m wondering, can you melt and repour these once you add fragrance? I did use fragrance oil on these. I was thinking of adding two wicks. Or maybe just keep for myself and let them burn. The flame I think is beautiful. So much to learn. I’m sure I will be binge watching your channel all day tomorrow. I’m still making Christmas gifts.
Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! If you wanted to double wick a 16 oz tin what CD wick size would you recommend?
I think this is the most informative channel I have visited... I alsonthink that the UA-camr can be my friend too🤣🤣 we have the same interest🥰 I hope I can make it too, just like you did it🥰
Hey neighbor chandler, candlewic and candles and supplies are my locals too :)
Great video! Thank you!
@Clayton Candle Co.. Hi Jane, amazing video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 U are totally correct when we start making candles for the first time we think that we can just melt the wax stick any wick and pour the wax without measuring the heat or figuring out if the wick is good.or not good. Also we are anxious and we want the candle to cool fast so as soon as the candle is room temperature we want to burn it with out curing... Because we didn’t know all this. Then we have tunneling, mushrooming, black smoke ... everything like u explained. I don’t do thin metal container but my son give me some, they are 6 oz. so what wicks u recommend for them? Also for a 10/11 oz. jar? Which one would u use?
Ur doing great
That was great, thank you. Where do you recommend getting the most organic candle fragrance from ?
This was a great video thank you but a couple of quick questions if not to much trouble.
I am very new to candle making and I was wondering a couple of things.
1) what is the best size wick to use with 8oz bell mason jars.
2) I am in MN and if you have either tried or is selling on ETSY or something similar or how did you start out selling your candles before you started your company?
☺️ thank u
Thank you so much for the great information!!! How many wicks do you use in the 8 oz. tins, one or two?
Thank you. Yes, the wicks are definitely the most challenging part of candle making. It's highly challenging and tests patience big time. It can be very discouraging. Especially for beginners. I wish it was much more direct when picking wicks, but it's just not. It is what it is.
Lol. You are not talking to yourself. Thank you for the info. New subscriber 😊
Thank you for watching!!
Hi, thanks for the video, it's my first time watching one of your videos, I'm new to candle making and going through the process of picking wicks. I'm using a para-soy wax. What kind of wax are you using with the CD wicks? Look forward to hearing from you.
From Frances
Found out I think I need to change my wicks after finally finding what I thought was the "right" wick for me... finding out my hot throw is weak. I started with the ECO series also and I think I'm switching to the CD series too.
Thanks for the video. If the CS guide recommends an ECO 16 and I choose to double WIC, would I double wick with 2 eco 16s OR do I split that up to 2 eco 8s?
Could you give me your opinion on what kind of wick I should use for a 10 oz glass jar - soy wax
hello!! do whipped candle need larger wick. example if Im using eco 10 for my normal container should I use the same wick with whipped candle in the same container or bigger wick thank you
Thanks for the candlescience link. I'm trying to make beeswax T lights and have been completely unsuccessful, I've been using the wicks that come with the T lights and simply adding melted beeswax, any hints that folks can offer me are welcome
Really need to know what’s good for gel wax
What wick and size would you recommend for the body mould? Everyone’s making them but no one mentions wick size, I’m presuming to big a wick will burn them down to quick.
What CD would you recommend for a 7 oz jar that is 2.5 inches in diameter please?
HI Jane can you give some advise on wicks for pillar candles with a width of 3 to 5 inches so that they dont melt and over spill or cause tunneling....
Here!!!
Hey! I’m using C3 wax & I have been going crazy looking for the right wick! The diameter is 3.25 & I’m using an 8oz tin- please advise!
Hy if you used in your 4oz tins cd 8 with what kids of wax.. thanks
Hi what size wick for the 9 0z straight side jar or the 9 oz salsa jar i was using cd 12or 10 and how about the wine glasses
So when your telling us the size cd wicks your using ex: 8 oz is cd # 8 is it the size of container or diameter of container?
What would you recommend for beeswax ? Unless I missed it in your video if so I apologize!
8oz tins you used cd 18 and how many wicks 2 or 1 only.. thanks
Are the gauge numbers the same universally for all wicks or are they different for each series?
When you have a large container and u use 2 or 3 wicks do your go down a size of the wick when you use more than 1?
I'm wondering. During the test process if I'm making 15oz candles, I make 15oz candles. Nothing smaller even when testing wicks? Sorry, not worded very well. Also, with curing, using a soy/coconut wax, I still need to wait 2 weeks before I burn test? Thanks in advance for your help.
Thank you for this video! When meausring the diameter of your container to determine which wicks to order, what do you do when the diameter varies from top to bottom of the container? Do I go off of the smaller diameter or the larger one?
I would say the larger one because you want to make sure that the wax pool is even to the outside of the container
were can I buy wicks for hand dipping taller and thinker than birthday candles?
I used a cd 12 in my 8oz but I used two and the flame was crazy big
How long should you let a candle burn each time you light it before putting it out?
In your 8oz and 4oz jars do you use 3 wicks or just 1 please
hi. what wick size is best for a 3 inch diameter candle
What wick should I use With joy wax
