Wicks

Candle wicks are the core component of a candle, responsible for drawing up the melted wax to fuel the flame. Choosing the correct wick is crucial as it directly affects the candle's performance, including burn rate, flame size, and soot production. An appropriately sized wick ensures an even and clean burn, maximizing the candle's lifespan and preventing issues like tunnelling, excessive smoking, or uneven melting. The type of wick needed varies based on factors such as wax type, candle size, and any added fragrances or dyes. Hence, selecting the right wick is essential for optimal candle functionality and safety.
