Loved your video, and you're right about the wood wicks. There's nothing better than that crackle! Could you share where to get that wide of a wood wick? I'm new to candle making and only want to make them for personal use. I'm still in the process of finding quality supplies.
Yes, there are different size wooden wick as well! That’s where the testing will come into play. Wood wicks come in different thicknesses and lengths, I had to go through a few different ones before I found which one works best for my candles. Hope that helps!
Hi! Just subscribed to your channel. I’d love to know which wax you are using with your wooden wicks? I’ve been in an extensive testing phase for many months and not getting the ideal results I’d like to see. I’m using a coconut/beeswax mix and now just switched to coconut 83 (California Candle Supply) as well and it’s still not giving me the ideal results. I’ve tried the diff wicks from Makesy in every thickness (.02, .03, and .04) both in single ply and w booster. I may have to try a predominately soy based wax for a different viscosity. I am sooo over testing already! 🤪😅😂
Hey! Thank you for the support! I actually use a coconut soy wax. I absolutely love it, and it has worked great for me! The testing can be so frustrating, especially when we are spending money on all of these materials and it doesn't work out ughhh. If you try the coconut soy wax, I'd love to know how it works for you!
@@nicolemartinboone5699 I completely understand! Obviously more testing would need to be done for your particular candles, but I’ve found with mine, that I’ve actually been able to increase the burn time! Highly recommend giving it a try, but I know it’s tough to switch once you’ve found that perfect balance with your current candles. If you do, I’d love to hear how it went!
@@knightlightcandleco thanks that’s actually really reassuring! It takes sooo long to find that perfect balance during the testing phase so once you have it you don’t want to touch it. However I love the look of the wooden wick and know my target demographic does too. So I think its time to do some testing
@@nicolemartinboone5699 nothing wrong with just testing it out! The good thing is you have perfected your other candles, so worst case scenario, you can’t find that same efficiency with the wood wicks you are testing, you know you have a great product that your customers love with the cotton wicks and can stick with that. ☺️
The wood wick does look elegant, but i like your black vessels too! Thanks for the video
Thank you! We are still sticking with the black vessels as well. Actually going to three colors gold, black, and white!
Gracias por compartir, soy nueva suscriptora e hice un maratón con tus videos 😊
Thank you so much for the support!
Thanks for the tool.
No problem at all! If there is anything else you think would help, I’m all ears 😊

Yes! I personally get mine from Amazon. It’s the 1 inch wide one! I can find the link for you if you’d like
Where r those gold vessels from? I love them
Thank you! I actually got these off of Amazon!
how long does it take to get a full melt pool with your 8oz candle with WOOD WICK?
Mine typically reach a full melt pool after about 2 hours
@@knightlightcandleco ok thanks bro
Question does it matter what size you use like with the cotton wicks?

I’m hesitant about using the wooden wick because I’m afraid I’ll lose hours off my burn time
