Choosing the right wick is one of the most important steps in candle making. It determines how your candle burns, how well the fragrance performs and how evenly the wax melts.
In this guide, you will find an overview of the most commonly used wick types in Europe and the US, including their burn behavior, advantages, characteristics and best use cases.
It is important to understand that there is no universal wick. The same wick can behave differently depending on the wax type, fragrance load and composition, colorants, container size and even ambient conditions.
Use this guide as a reference, but always perform burn tests to select the optimal wick for your specific formulation.
