100 Pcs Wood Candle Wicks for Candle Making-50 Wicks & 50 Wick Holders | Smokeless Wooden Wicks Long Lasting Candle Cores with Iron Standers for Candle Making Supplies, 5.1 X 0.5 Inch

I did not have the problems with burning that some other people did after using the tips found in the reviews. I soaked the wood in coconut oil before putting the candles together and I put two wood strips per metal holder and the candles burn very well (although when you light them for the very first time they will typically burn out and then stay lit from the second light on). The crackle sound is not as loud as some other candles I have purchased but that may be due to the coconut oil. I would purchase again.

I'm not the most experienced with wood wicks, so it took me some time to try these out. I've been having trouble with my candles being so smoky my room looks like it's foggy - so I wanted to try different wicks and see how that went. These have not disappointed! They are very uniform in their cuts and shapes. I was extremely happy with the box that they come in - plenty of companies just have sad little plastic bags that are unpleasant or a hassle to use once you open the packaging. This is something I want to hold on to for wicks forever! The wicks have been easy to place - the "foot" that holds the wood strip stays in place well and the wood is easy to trim. There is some crackling that happens during the burning, which I enjoy for some passive ambiance. They feel good, look good, work well, and are a great experience in my candle adventures. I often use these with wax cubes or for "zombie candles" where I combine wax remnants from other candles and the wicks still work well! Have a happy little pet fire with a modest crackle while you're at it!

If I could have given a 0 I would’ve. The worst wicks ever . I don’t know how they get to sell this product I made 12 candles and was so proud of myself, I had to melt and remake them I had managed to make some pretty cool ones. Just ruined the whole experience for me. They DO NOT BURN AT ALL. It will lite and burn out right away. I was sooo pissed off . Don’t waist your time. I tried to get a refund ant they actually want me to go out of my way to ship this one little defective product. So I guess it’ll go in the camping stuff as kindling or as a quick lite for fire

These are really really thin so I used them for 2oz candles. I soaked them in olive oil and also coated them with wax when I was pouring my wax. I used soy wax. The wicks are super thin and fragile so handle with care as it can break when inserting into the clips. The burn of it is okay and no crackling. I will update when I use them for an 8oz jar. I do think the width of the wick is too large for a 2oz can. My bf used it in a large jar and also coated in olive oil but not wax and his wick did not do so well. It was struggling to burn after a big flame. His wax pooled very deep but not wide.

I am extremely new to candle making and I chose to use wooden wicks and beeswax for my new adventure. It is unlikely I will buy these wicks again. The second set of pictures shows tunneling. That is why on my next candle (first set of pictures) I used 3 wicks. See Picture 5 and 6 for the size of the candles I made. Using 3 wicks solved the tunneling problem and gave the candle a crackling sound similar to Wood Wick Co candles. I gave this product 4 stars because I like the metal base they come with and they are easy to cut with scissors. Steps/materials I used to make my candles * Checked temperature of the room (62 degrees F) *1 hour before hand rubbed one drop of essential oil on center wick (I used 3 wicks to 1 wick holder in both pictures) *Preheat the 4oz glass containers (Pyrex) to 200 degrees F *I heated 4oz Opeshar beeswax up to 160 degrees F *Poured in 9.5g (.33oz) of esstentail oil at 145 degrees F * Mixed in 1/4 teaspoon of Pearl Ex pigment powder at 140-135 degrees F *Took glass container out of oven * Placed metal wick holder with wooden wick inside glass container * Poured Opeshar beeswax into glass container * Added 2g of argon oil a gave the candle a gentle stir * Waited until wax cured (3h -24h) and painted the top with Pearl Ex powder Note: When lighting the candles the flame was high as I trimming the wick 1" from the wax. After about 3 minutes, the flame burnt the wood similar how it would look burning incense. I blew out the candle and relit for a regular candle flame. The heat throw (smell of the candle when lit is strong) and the Pearl Ex makes sparkly ripples when burning!

3 stars for now as the only candle I’ve made with it won’t stay lit. Will update with a higher rating if the following ones I made actually stay lit. Good crackle sound when it does burn, just goes out in like 2 minutes after the initial burn.

I make my own candles and always select these. They came in a nice case.

Love that these ship in a resealable plastic box that keeps them organized! These are nice wicks, long enough for a 6" candle cup, slow burning, and thick enough you do not have to double up. These are so easy to use. I do add an adhesive sticker just to be sure they don't tip or travel when I pour, but I believe the metal brackets are probably weighty enough they would stay in position without it.
