Learn how to find the right wick size for your new candle or jar. I will also show you how to conduct a candle burn test, so that you can make perfectly burning, professional candles.
You can get the best wicks for soy candle making at my website www.procandlesupply.com/colle...
It is very important that you do candle wick testing on any new soy candle that you make! You want to make sure that your new candle burns cleanly and evenly all the way to the bottom of your jar. This way you can sell your candles without customer complaints.
You should conduct and wick test / burn test any time you change any part of your candle. Example
Type of soy way
Candle dye type or amount of color used
Fragrance Oil or fragrance oil amount used
Candle Container size or type
Have fun with your DIY candle making and wick testing. I think that finding the right size wick for your candle is the most important part of candle making so please make sure you put the maximum amount of effort in this step and remember to take detailed notes in a journal that you can look back at.

Hi! Important question: how would an eco 14 create less of a melt pool than an eco 12? That doesn't make sense. .. since eco 14 is larger. I'd appreciate your answer. Thanks

@micahokeiley
@micahokeiley 3 года назад
Those are usually close to ECO 14 or ECO 12 wicks in diameter. I have successfully reused those types of jars in the past using those sized wicks. I believe the “guideline” for multi-wicked jars is to measure the diameter of the jar you want to multi-wick, and match it to the closest sized wick for the amount of wicks you want to use. For Example: - You want to put two wicks in your B&BW Jar and the jar measures just about 7”. - 1 ECO 14 works well in a 3.5” jar. - That would tell me that 2 x ECO 14” might be a good place to start. Then I would conduct burn tests. If the ECO 14 didn’t burn correctly, I would try an ECO 12 or ECO 16 based off of those results. Also note, for best results, the wicks should be placed at equal diameters to each other and the jar edges. Hope this helps! ☺️

@cherylwilliams1800
@cherylwilliams1800 4 года назад
She said that just because the wick size is bigger, doesn't make it the correct size. Thats why the burn test is important because you will test out which wick is the best to use. In this case Eco 12 gave her no flicker, even pooling etc. I had to watch it twice lol

Hey! So which size of the wick was correct from your first test? Since it seems that eco 10 was underwicked, eco 12 was overwicked (meltpool way too large) and eco 14 (which is larger than 12 I guess) hasn't reached the sides of the vessel?.. I am feeling lost.

@micahokeiley
@micahokeiley 3 года назад
In my tests and candle making knowledge, it seems that either the candles are mislabeled or the ECO14 wick had a burn issue (maybe trimmed too short, too much fragrance, or incorrect wick type for the wax). After seeing the results and the way the wax pooled, I believe the center candle actually the ECO 14, not the ECO 12. The 10 was waaay under burning, the “14” was also under burning, and the “12” was nearly perfect. By this test, if the 12 was perfect, the 14 would have had a HUGE melt pool and would have been throwing soot, mushrooming and had a massive flame. I believe the candles were mixed up, or the 14 wick was not actually a 14 wick, or it had some serious issues in manufacturing or process.
@ProCandleSupply
@ProCandleSupply 3 года назад
Hello! The wick sizes are not mislabeled. I can see how this can be confusing. One would think automatically that the eco 14 would give the larger flame and be the right size wick for this candle but I picked this specific example for a reason. This is why it is necessary to always test your wicks in your container with each fragrance you're using in it. It is not simply just a function of size, this has to do with the chemistry behind the combustion of the flame which includes the wax, the fragrance used, amount of fragrance, size of wick and size of the container. There are many factors that go into choosing a wick size, it's always important to perform a wick test with multiple burns when choosing the size that's best=) The most important thing to take away from the video is the stable flame height and the melt pool. With that it's always best to test the candle until the bottom! I hope this helps=)

9% FO oil is the highest I like to go. If eco wicks don't work for a candle I'm creating I try CD wicks. If it's a wide jar I will use two wicks or three wicks. What size jar are you using?

@@ProCandleSupply the wide tin jar I'm using is 3.5 but I gave up because all of them were tunneling. My main glass jar I'm using now is 2.5, so far lx18, eco 8, eco 10 are giving good even melt pools. The issue is 2/3 left of wax, the flames get very ver small. The lx18 has a bit of mushrooming. What could I try for them?

Hello! it will depend on your burn test as well as the wax used, fragrance, fragrance amount and if any color is being used=) Once you get it down for reach candle you make it is very easily repeatable as long as you document all of your steps very detailed and follow the same steps every time=)

I’m so confused about the wicks! Please help. My candles wick are drowning and sometimes I can’t light if it short. I don’t have melt pool either. It’s always tunnelling. I’m using soy wax and my jar are 3.5in so which wicks is best for this tins..

Hello!=) Are you stating that your jar is 3.5" wide? That's a pretty wide jar for one ECO wick and 464 soy wax. It would depend on what wick series you are using, I often use ECO or CD wicks with 464 soy wax. With a 3.5" jar I would probably test out double wicking (two wicks) =) Please try checking out the double/two wick video we have on this channel=) Thanks!!

How is the HT with the eco 12?

It will all depend on whether the wick is the correct size for the jar=) If a candle is correctly wicked the chemical reaction is optimized for a good how throw.

I noticed in the comment section that she is bad about answering questions. Especially considering that the nature of the video is to be informative. I had a lot of the same questions I went to the comment section to look for and saw that were asked and not answered 😕
