- Hello Beautiful People!
Today's video is all about how I tested my wooden wicks to get the perfect flame, full melt pool, slow burn and AMAZING hot throw! Hopefully there are some tips within this video that can help you choose the best wick for your candle. There will be a part 2 with wooden wick facts! I didn't want to make this video too long.
Quick Tip: Please keep an open mind when choosing suppliers. I have to switch things up because one supplier may be sold out of the ingredient or supply that I need. So, do your research. I have chosen the suppliers that work best for my brand and business needs. I check for quality and efficacy to ensure I am using the BEST ingredients and materials to create my candles.

So happy it helped! ❤️ Thanks so much for watching and good luck with your testing!
This info helped so much for my business. Thank you! You’re awesome! 💖

I appreciate your kind words! Thank You 😊 Wishing you many Blessings in this new year!
Very helpful! Thanks Paris 🥰
You're so welcome Axis! 🥰
Awesome video! Thanks for the wick tips! I got my Infinia vessels today...so excited! Still waiting for apricot coconut wax though! Keep sharing!
Thanks so much Jenice! 🙂 So exciting! Good Luck!
Thank you so much for sharing. This will be very helpful when I start
You're so welcome! 😊
I love these vessels, I'm testing them now. the .625 is a perfect fit for me as well. Im still deciding if I want to go with booster wick .03 or .04 with the .625 size. As for the booster wick size (.02) does the size in number mean that it burns hotter? like does the .04 wicks burn faster and hotter than the .02 wick series? This is what I'm trying to understand, thank you for any advice you can share!
Thanks so much! ❤️ So, depending on your wax blend, fragrance, and dye load, as well as the diameter of your candle, sometimes a Single-Ply Wick is not enough wick material for a proper burn. Booster wicks are created when attaching two or more wicks together with a thin layer of non-toxic adhesive, making a single layered wick to help with performance.
Thank you so much for the info🙏🏼 very helpful ❤️
You are so welcome! ❤️
You did it!!!! Thank you 🙏🏾
Any time! Hope it helped! 🙂
Thank you for your wealth of information 🙏🏽
My pleasure! ❤️
thank you for this video...many blessings to you
Same to you! 🥰 Thanks for watching!
Thank u this was helpful. I started this process last year then stopped. Then was going to just pay a company to wholesale then decided I wanted to do it myself. So back to the drawing board. I'm definitely going to try the coconut apricot wax I think I'll like that one a lot. Soy was ok. Thank you again
Absolutely! You can do this Fee Fee! I loooove coco apricot wax, it is amazing! It definitely mingles well with fragrances which is why I believe I am getting such a strong hot throw! Many Blessings to you on your journey!
@@ParisNikkole Yes, I've heard from several ppl that yhat it gives a bomb hot throw. I can't wait to go home this weekend and get to testing.
Thank You!!
Really helpful 💛 thank you!
You are so welcome! 😂
Thank you so much for these videos. You are most helpful!! I’m using the same vessel and .625 on virgin coconut soy wax. Do you have any question on how to make the vessel not get black soot on the sides? When I use less FO it loses its cold throw.
Let me just say you are fierce! 🙌🏾 I just watched your fearless video and I love it! Now for the candle question! lol! It may be that you haven't cut your wick down to that 1/4" that is suggested. A longer wick produces a larger and hotter flame, which causes the surrounding candle wax to melt faster and give the flame more fuel. The increased fuel means wax is drawn into the wick faster than it can burn and react with oxygen in the air, resulting in incomplete combustion. Then the extra wax is released as soot. OR When extinguishing your candle, you are not using a cap or snuffer and blowing it out which will release a tuft of soot-containing smoke and leave you with a smoldering wick which continues to produce soot and smoke. Hope this helps!
Omg! I missed this! Thank you so much for your kind words!!! 🥰. I will try to trim my wicks even more and hopefully this will do the trick. I appreciate you! 💛⚡️
Awesome content! Thank you!
Glad it helped! 🥰
I recently started watching your videos and i love them all. Thanks for sharing .
I have a question tho, is it normal for the wax to change colour after burning?
I recently started making my own candles . A slight yellowish colour .
@B1ood Barbie i didnt add any color at all to the wax .
After burning i realise the wax is not as white as before . I wanted to know if thats normal
Have you experienced having your wax a bit discolored after burning the wood wick? Mine comes out a bit yellowish and I thought I did something wrong.
SUBBED !! Thank you this has helped me a great deal !!
Thanks for the sub! Glad it helped! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! Do you allow your candles to fully cure before testing? Or do you test immediately?
Hi Gaebrielle, I generally allow my candles to cure for about 24-48hrs before testing.
@@ParisNikkole Thank you so much! I was wondering if I really needed to wait three days. This was helpful! Thanks again!
I loved this video. Question: Do you pre-soak your wooden wicks?
Thanks so much! ❤️ No, I don't soak my wooden wicks. I would think that would ruin the quality of the wicks. Have you tried this?
I enjoyed the video, it was very informative however I would have liked to see a clock or some kind of time lapse just to get an idea of how long each candle was burning & how long it took for each candle to have a full wax pool. (Hope that makes sense)
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the tip! ❤️
Hi! I am still in my testing phase for the same jar! Do you use the same wick size for each of your scents? Or did you find yourself having to use different sizes for different scents?
Hi Deb! It has worked out for me to keep the wick size consistent for all of my scents. I have tried using a larger wick and I don't like how fast it tends to burn and the black soot it creates. With the smaller wick it burns slow and clean. Some of my scents burn slower than others which is fine because you still get the same hot throw, it is just a longer burn time than others due to each scent having different flash points.
Thanks for this video. How do you determine how much burn time a candle has? Are you literally burning on and off for that amount of time or are u using some sort of calculation based on how well it burns for a specific timeframe?
In my testing phase, I allowed the candles to burn for 4 hours at a time and kept a notebook with burn time. Always document your process! 🙂
@@ParisNikkole thank you so much! These videos have been so helpful!
Thank you so much!
You're so welcome Samiyah! 🥰
Thank you for the info.
Any time! 🙌🏾
When you were saying that you got about 60+ hours on the wick on the far right, did you let it burn over night or a couple of hours a day? If so how many hours?
I let it burn for 4 hours at a time allowing the candle to completely solidify before relighting. And I NEVER burn a candle over night. That would be super dangerous.
Love this your inspiring me! Definitely going to support and get some candles! Just started my channel and would definitely would do review on this!
I appreciate that! 🥰 Many Blessings to you on your journey!
Do you use .02 booster wick or .03booster wick?
How long do you test to kno the burn time? I love your creation & energy thank you can’t wait to start my business definitely motivated me.
Thanks so much for watching! ❤️ I basically burn the candle for 4 hours at a time until it reaches the end. Always allow the candle to completely cool and solidify in between burn times so that you are able to get a true burn time. Good Luck on starting your candle business! So excited to see what you create!
@@ParisNikkole do you reach a full melt pool in 4 hrs instead of 2hrs?? I’ve seen some who say you have to reach it in 2 hrs, this is becoming so confusing. Thank you!
Hi love,
Which wooden wick do you recommend for the Glam Tins from woodenwick?
Hi Alexa, I am not sure with those because I haven't worked with them before. They look to be a bit more narrow than the other tins so I would definitely get a few different sizes to test with. Good Luck!
How do you know when it’s best to double up the wooden wick vs keeping it one stick? (In a 3” diameter holder)
Testing is key! I tested single and double wicks for all jars. The general rule is candles with a diameter of 4" or larger may need a double wick. The jars I use are generally 3.5” and I have singe wicked them with wooden wicks and double wicked them with cotton wicks.
I know that song, too. Lol. Good intro.
LOL! Thanks Eric for not leaving me out here alone ❤️
Yeah I was in middle school when this came out ☺️
Hello, great video!
Question, are the wooden wicks from amazon ok quality?
Thanks so much! ❤️ Actually I haven't used wooden wicks from Amazon. I am almost certain that most of them are made by wooden wick co. though. They have some patented technology on wooden wicks and have dominated the market. I would say, test them and see if they work for your candles. Good Luck and let me know what you think if you decide to test them out. ❤️
Hi we’re these the 12oz or 8oz auras! Thanks! This was very helpful!
Hi Jay! These are the 12 oz Aura jars. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Did you use to .02 or .03 wooden wick? Thank you for your help!
.03 for the Aura Vessels.
Hey love this is amazing!! What size would you recommend for a 8oz candle I am sooo done with regular wicks lol
I second this question 🙋🏾♀️8oz tin candles
Hey Elaina! ❤️ It depends upon the diameter of your tin. Some tins are very narrow and some are wide. Can you let me know the measurements?
Are those vessels from dream vessels? Also what size label did you use on those jars?
Those are from Wooden Wick Co. I create my own labels and they are 3x3 inches.
🙏
❤️
Loll good intro.
LOL! Thanks Jill!
Amen
Wow just informative. How do u package and ship your candles.
Thanks so much Jasmine! ❤️ I am going to do a video on that soon! It was really a task in the beginning trying to figure out packaging! LOL! But it is coming along. Thanks for watching!
Hi beautiful! Which wick is that exactly ...the one .625 please? I would like to test the exact one in my vessels. Thank you so much
www.bulkapothecary.com/wooden-wick-booster-5-8-x-5-bag-of-25/
Question how soon did you test it did you test it after it healed or before
I allow my candles to solidify and then I light them to test if the wick gives a full melt pool. Hope this helps! ❤️
My vessel is 4.25" Tall x Bottom Width 3.125" x Top Width 3.375"... Do you have any suggestions on which wooden wick I should use
I would say try the .625" whisper booster wick .03. If that burns too fast then go down to .5" anything larger will make your candle burn too fast. If you purchase a wick testing kit you will get multiple sizes and types to test with.
@@ParisNikkole Thank you
This has helped so much my dear. which one works best for the 8oz tin candles? I've tried 4 diffrent sizes and all have failed. Please help if possible.
So happy my videos have helped you in your journey! ❤️ Unfortunately I have not tested 8oz tins with wooden wicks. I would suggest ordering a wick sample kit and use my plier method to switch the wicks out. ruclips.net/video/5ngJKqrJ2kc/видео.html
@@ParisNikkole thank you sooo much I poured last night. Every one is out of the sample packs so I'm purchasing small amounts of diffrent sizes. !Keep Growing and Glowing!
@@tequilagarvin38 Thats a great start! Hoping you find the right wick! Then we can celebrate! 🤗
@@ParisNikkole yes ma'am you'll be the first to know!!!!

My wooden wicks never stay lit I tried 3 different sizes with para-soy wax ☹️
Oh my! Not sure why that is happening. I don't use para soy wax so I wouldn't be much help there. I would say try coconut wax. It works really well with wooden wicks. Good Luck! ❤️
Hi, what is the diameter of your vessels? Sorry, probably missed the part in your video 😅 thank you ☀️
Hey there! The diameter: 3.75" w x 4.1" h
The caption looks weird zoom out a bit ❤️ love the information thank you
Thanks for the tip!
Could you do a video ways to price your candles at a high price 45.00 vs low like 15.00? Is there anything we should consider when it come to the amount
Absolutely! I will do a video on pricing. However, it all comes down to cost of materials and profit margins. So take everything that you use to make 1 candle and break down the cost. You can also include shipping in that cost if you have an idea of how much that will cost you. But, no worries, I will show how to come up with pricing in my video. Thanks for watching! ❤️
Have you did wood wicks in a tin container
Absolutely! Check out my video on how to make tin candles. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/NCTUflYbFkY/видео.html
What length are these?
They are 5"
Watching in 2023!
Love it! Thank You.
