I prefer wooden wicks because of their aesthetic but their inconsistency is what had me pulling my hair out 🤣

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

😆

@ginabaldwin2839 Год назад

That's why I'm afraid to try them! 😬😕

@iluvgr8music2 Год назад

I love the luxurious touch of class a wooden wick gives a candle however, just like you said, they are inconsistent.

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

@mquilez01 Год назад

Cotton wicks here. I'm not a fan of proprietary one supplier goods. Thanks for the excellent content Wade!

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Thank you!

@danissaforever Год назад

Oooh my goodness just saw this!!! Thank you for the review!!!!! We are so grateful. Yes we scraped the Amazon wood wick. We also blend two different brands of wax now!!! We hope to send you our newer version of candles which are in tins ❤❤❤😅

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

My pleasure! :)

@sherit8594 Год назад

Yeah, I thought wow! Someone's pretty bold when I saw that wooden wick in votive. Great job once again reviewing and helping your fellow makers 💙

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Thanks Sherri!

@rachaelg.4804 Год назад

Cotton wicks!! I keep trying wood but they're too inconsistent for me. I love the look but cotton burns better IMO

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

👍

@Vrie. Год назад

The key to wood wicks is TEST TEST TEST and TEST! Once you get that nailed your golden, I use different wood wicks for the same vessel I have because each fragrance oil reacts differently

@rachaelg.4804 Год назад

@@Vrie. I think it depends on the wax. My wax doesn't like them... I've tried numerous FOs and no luck.

@PeterJDYoung 11 месяцев назад

@tarot2271 I agree to this. I have to F.O., two different wooden wick sizes, but the same tin size. Both size wicks work. When it came to another F.O. the consistency was horrible. F.O. definitely plays a factor

@wtsharpe Год назад

Cotton wicks overall for the consistent performance! Though when the stars align, wooden wicks. Great looking candles here and really enjoying these reviews.

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Haha. Yes 100%

@4CCoilyme Год назад

Cotton wicks for sure , wooden wicks are that devil BUT I really do love the way they crackle.

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Same. :)

@Straingelove Год назад

Yaayyy can’t wait to watch this later! Just came in to show support!! Would love a lot more of these videos with wooden wicks 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@scentedlegacy Год назад

Being new I have very little experience to have a valid opinion just yet, but I will say, I have loved wooden wicks since I first found out about them. I love the aesthetic and the ones that crackle. I originally thought I'd want to have wood wicks in my candles one day, and I still might....but I have to be honest and say the inconsistency I hear that comes with them, makes me draw away. Wicking can already be tough and adding more stress to it by using wood wicks is very daunting.

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Thanks Teanna!

@NaturalMackie Год назад

Another great and informative review. I just ordered some C-6 to try. Hopefully I’ll be able to make some nice gifts for the holidays and upcoming birthdays with this new craft. 😊

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

It can have some major frosting issues and tricky to wick. So just a heads up. Lol. Like i said I don't use it so not much help

@NaturalMackie Год назад

@illumbiscotti Год назад

The more testing I do, the more I prefer cotton wicks. Personally, I find their HT to be stronger and their performance to be a little more consistent. I love the look and feel of wooden wicks, but I haven't had a lot of success with HT. Hey, any luck with getting subscriber suggestions for reaction to TikToks? Where do you want me to send mine? :p

@candlewhisperer Год назад

Hello Wade Thomas Great review!!! I totally agree that there are candle makers in various stages of their business!!! I am at the stage where I am trying to decide my branding. I feel confident in my candles but having trouble deciding on colors and labels!!! I want to work with wood wicks to compare them to the cotton wicks, however, the wood wicks are pretty pricey to me compare to the cotton wicks. But, I do plan to buy some so I can determine which would be better. Keep the reviews and any other tutorial coming. I am really enjoying your channel!!! I can't wait until I can send my products in for a review!!!

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Thank you Tamara :)

@Soulful_Spirit_Candle_Co Год назад

Cotton wicks , if I do use wood wicks it’s one size only the same jar wax & fragrance , due to the inconsistency and the amazing ability I can have to over wick 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 thanks so much for bringing us another awesome video , always love the feedback & learning new possibilities!

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Thanks Leah!

@0neTruePassion Год назад

Great job Denise! Thank you for another amazing review Wade! Love love love these helpful videos and seeing your face from Canada😂 I prefer cotton for ease of use but wooden wicks I use for a couple scents just because I love the aesthetic. So hard to chose!

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

🤣 thanks. Where at in Canada?

@danissaforever Год назад

Thank you!!! 😊

@shiningstarsoup 10 месяцев назад

I've read a lot of people say that you "can't" really use wood wicks in coconut wax, I made the dumb choice of getting a 100-pack of Ultimate wicks (.625), fell in love with Coconut Apricot Wax, made some test candles where I experienced tunnelling pretty bad. I am trying a test with C-6 wax today but ordered only enough for 2 candles. Do you have any recommendations or should I just shift to something more completely soy-based to work better with the abundance of wooden wicks I foolishly ordered (lol) ? Thank you, Wade!

@kodeethompson6699 Год назад

I have watched over 3 hours of your videos in the last week and a half or so, I am very eager and ready to dedicate a lot of time and work into crafting candles, I have not made a candle yet, but I am thinking I will be starting with cotton wicks, they seem like the better wick to learn with.

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Definitely more reliable

@kodeethompson6699 Год назад

I just started with a kit last Thursday, I was not impressed with the kit, the scents were basically non existent, anyways, I purchased some more fragrances and am having a lot of fun, but I do have questions, when I pour the wax into the vessel the wick's keep coming up from the bottom, also, how do I measure out the correct amount of wax to use?? I keep melting to little. Thanks Wade, best wishes.

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

@@kodeethompson6699 Hi Kodee. Quite a bit to unpack here but here are the short answers. 1) Are you securing your wick to the bottom with good quality wick stickers? Certain jars have issues with this as well if they aren't flat on the bottom. If wick stickers are not working, try Red RTV from a home improvement store. 2) Measuring correct amount of wax for your candles is too long of an answer or too difficult to explainin a comment. But check out this video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8b8OsGbM5YE.html 3) Yah, Ive never liked most kits to be honest. I plan to make one for candle makers here soon. :)

@kodeethompson6699 Год назад

@@BlackTieBarn thank you very much for the response, the stickers it came with were more of a gel/glue consistency, I will keep trying and give different stickers a shot I think. Making a kit would be great of you to do. Thanks Wade.

Wade, are you still accepting candles to test?

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Not at the moment unfortunately. Too backed up and busy at this time

@christinasanabria1734 Год назад

I definitely prefer cotton wicks over wood. But that could be my skill set. I’m new and it seems wood wicks are so hard and not consistent.

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Yah cotton wicks are much easier in terms of consistency

@dons6570 Год назад

Another great video Wade! Does the wick type play a role with hot throw?

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Yes... and no. It does in the sense that you want to find the beat type for your wax and jar to generate good melt pool and overall good performance. But to say, independent of everything else, that one wick type generates better HT over the other is probably a stretch. Or at the very least, hard to measure and evaluate. I match wick type to wax and jar and go for the best burn possible. If it throws good too... it's a winner. If, not...I move on. I won't degrade my performance with a non optimal wick I'm hopes that it may boost the scent throw. But that's just me. :)

@genesisa2464 Год назад

Thank you for this video!! I switched over to wooden booster wicks for my soy 10 wax and I like them but started noticing inconsistency. Not sure if it’s just the FO?

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

It may be. But wood wicks can be super inconsistent on their own

@BmoreGaming Год назад

I've watched a ton of your videos and I'm pretty sure you've said in the past that you use paraffin wax, is that still the case and if it is what wax do you use specifically? I just lit my first candle today using 444 soy wax (I only let it cure for about 4 days), and the hot throw was okay, but I'm worried that this is the best it gets with soy wax and now I'm considering the leap into paraffins or a parasoy blend. I have about 10 more candles lined up to be tested with different fragrances and wicks, so all hope isn't lost with the 444 wax, but figured it might be worth exploring other options.

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

I use all sorts of waxes. Mostly parasoy blend but I use many kinds for different reasons. I'd suggest sampling a few to see what you like best

@BmoreGaming Год назад

@@BlackTieBarn Thanks again for the response! Glad to hear that you like using parasoy blends. I really wanted to start with the BW-910 parasoy blend, but candlescience is out of stock, so I just ended up with 444. Which parasoy blends have you had the most success with?

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

@@BmoreGaming Probably ProBlend 600 and IGI 6006 the most

@BmoreGaming Год назад

@@BlackTieBarn Awesome, thanks again for the help! Really appreciate it!

@ladeof204 Год назад

It's just so satisfying watching your videos, i've learn a lot, i just have a question a, is it posible to layer different kind of wax in one vessel, Let say 1st layer=gel wax, 2nd layer=soy wax, 3rd layer=beeswax? If so, how would i know the wick i need to use? TIA and more power

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

It technically is yes.... but man.... wicking it would suck. Never tried it. Lol

@soulessiren Год назад

Cotton wicks are my favorite but will be testing wooden wicks shortly! Btw how do we get in with sending something to you? I love your videos and I would love some professional feedback ❤

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Thanks Diane. Send me an email to RU-vid@blacktiebarn.com

@ozema87 Год назад

If you're making an embed for a candle do you use tart wax? Is it ok if they mix?

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Some do, some don't. Yes... they can mix, just be sure to test the wick the whole way through to ensure the wick will work out

@bmwwwe Год назад

Where can I send mine to, for you to review. Just starting out and got some, I would like your opinion on.

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Hi. I have them on hold for the moment. Very backed up and swamped at the moment.

@mizzstarr510 Год назад

Hi I have a question, is it normal for a candle to begin sooting after nearly 3 hours of being lit? My Premiere wicks soot a bit at the 3 hour mark :/.

@BlackTieBarn Год назад

Yah. Anytime after 3 or 4 hours wicks can start... misbehaving. Trim and keep going. If it's bad enough you might need to wick down or try another wick type for your wax/jar
