  • Hey besties! Choosing the right wick for coconut-soy wax can depend on several factors, including the size and shape of the container, the desired burn time, and the type of fragrance or additives used in the wax.
    Here are some steps you can follow to choose the right wick for your coconut soy wax:
    ✶ Determine the size of your container: Measure the diameter of your container, as this will help you select the appropriate wick size.
    ✶ Check the manufacturer's recommendations: If you purchased a pre-blended coconut soy wax, the manufacturer may have provided recommendations for wick size and type based on their testing.
    ✶ Consider the burn time: If you want a longer burn time, you may need a larger wick to ensure that the wax melts evenly and does not tunnel. Conversely, if you want a shorter burn time, a smaller wick may be appropriate.
    ✶ Consider the fragrance or additives: Fragrances and other additives can affect the performance of your candle and may require a different wick size than what you would use for plain coconut soy wax. Be sure to check the recommendations from the fragrance or additive manufacturer.
    ✶ Test different wick sizes: Once you have an idea of the appropriate wick size, test several different sizes to determine which one works best for your specific wax blend, container, and desired burn time. You can do this by making several test candles with different wick sizes and burning them to see which one performs the best.
    ✶ Overall, selecting the right wick for your coconut soy wax can be a bit of trial and error, but by considering the factors listed above and testing different wick sizes, you should be able to find the perfect wick for your candle.

    Hey. First let me say I love your videos.. Keep making them girl they are great.. I am using a 10 oz vessel coconut soy wax. I use 9.2 oz wax w/ .8 oz FL. What size wick would you recommend?

    Enjoyed! Do you wickless test when testing wick to FO?

    • @viewsofayona
      @viewsofayona  Před rokem

      Thank you! I have before but not now. I've noticed some of the FO performed differently when the wick was added so I didn't trust the method anymore. Although, it works well for others!

    Do you have any wick size and type suggestions to double wick a 3 1/2" wide x 5 1/2" tall glass jar using coconut apricot luxury candle wax from Virginia candle supply with added dye and fragrance?

    @valleygurl8531 Před 10 měsíci

    Well i thought i understood wicks but then i watched this lol...THANKYOU SOO MUCH!!...I'm just curious whats the difference between CD and CDN wicks? Lol

    • @viewsofayona
      @viewsofayona  Před 10 měsíci

      WHOOP WHOOP! So glad it helped! The condensed answer is CDN wicks tend to burn cooler than CD wicks in most waxes. This helps when using softer waxes, like coconut blended waxes. I also noticed they burn much slower getting you more out of your candle.

    Hi 👋🏽 so I use a 14 Oz vessel and a 8 Oz tin can and I’m struggling to find the right wick that goes with apricot coco Creme wax. Any suggestions?

    • @viewsofayona
      @viewsofayona  Před rokem +3

      Hey there. I use coconut-soy! Check your vendors candle wicking size guide chart and test based off recommendations first. Also watch videos of other makers who use that wax.

    Do you reuse your jars after testing?

  • @summerlingillam7214
    @summerlingillam7214 Před měsícem

    can you share your FO % for each as well? It could be a good starting place for us, even though our FO could affect it for us individually

      Check the wax vendor why y'all ask common sense questions 👀 especially when it's added in the video 😒
