25PCS Wood Wicks for Making Candles Kit, 5" Trimable Natural Wooden Candle Wick with 25 Iron Stand for Handmade DIY Scented Candle Holder Craft Supplies

Good quality wooden wicks that work really well for homemade candles. They’re easy to set up with the metal bases and give a nice steady burn. I like the subtle crackling sound you get when they’re lit as well. Great little kit if you’re making your own candles and good value for the number included.

I pre-soaked one in olive oil for 15 minutes. Then I put it in a small jar and poured in melted Beeswax. I eyeballed the amount and added some drops of essential oils. I was going for a skyrim theme so I used juniper berry, pine needle, black pepper and cypress which gave a nice smell. I let it cool enough for the wick to stay in place on its own which didn't take long. I cut the wick down to an appropriate size for the candle, and let it cool completely. The size of the wicks are big so for this small candle I could probably make 3 with just one wick! Lighting the candle: I lit the wick with a lighter and it burned briefly then went out. I re-lit holding the flame on the wick for a bit longer and it it started right up and stayed lit. It crackles subtley, not as much as my Woodwick candles by Yankee candle but they're using soy wax and they're also using different looking wicks with like a hex pattern so that probably has an effect, but this Definitely does the job for me. It burns really clean which is nice and a big improvement on some more traditional wicks I've used in the past that leave big plooms of smoke when blown out, this doesn't do that. Just a small puff of smoke and it's out and the room doesn't smell of smoke afterwards. Again, I used an unrefined raw natural beeswax rather than soy, paraffin or refined beeswax so I can't say for how that might turn out. But with this individual candle, I'm really happy with it. TLDR: ITS GOOD.

You need to follow the instructions! I tried skipping the first step (soaking the wicks for 24hrs in a carrier oil) and obviously the candle didn't work. I re- melted having properly soaked the wicks and also doubled them up and they burn brilliantly. Nice crackle (see video).

These wood wicks are absolutely terrible. Tried making several candles with them and each one was a disaster. The wicks barely stayed lit, and when they did manage to burn, the flame was pathetically small - barely enough to create any sort of melt pool. After about 20 minutes, they'd just fizzle out completely. Save yourself the frustration and money. I wasted perfectly good wax and fragrance oil on these useless wicks. Had to throw away multiple finished candles because they simply wouldn't burn properly. The only thing these wicks are good at is disappointing you. The few that actually stayed lit produced almost no crackling sound - you know, that cozy fireplace effect that's supposed to be the whole point of wood wicks. Tried different heights, different wax types, even pre-soaking them - nothing worked. All 25 pieces were consistently bad. Don't make the same mistake I did. These are clearly cheap, poorly made wicks that shouldn't even be on the market. Complete and utter disappointment.

As described. Wooden wicks work well giving homemade candles a little professional touch. Came with wick holder

I was sceptical whether these would work or not after reading the lower star reviews and nearly didn't buy them. They DO work but read below. I took on board what one of the other reviews said and soaked the wick in oil. The only oil I had was sunflower oil used for cooking which I placed in a takeaway container for a couple of days. I melted the wax by placing the candle in boiling hot water and put a lid on the candle and the container I put it in. It took a few attempts to melt it completely and remove the old wick which looked identical to the new ones. I don't know what type of wax the candle is but was one purchased from B & M which had tunneled. It was still burning ok after 30 minutes as the video shows. Update - The next day didn't go so well. Zero flame the following day but still crackles. The wick burns faster than the oil. I may have soaked the wick for too long in oil and the tunnelled candle is now in the bin. Cost of boiling the kettle four times possibly isn't worth trying to save one that has tunnelled. We have another to try so let's see how it goes.

Perfect

These work perfectly, despite some 1 star reviews - they're doing it wrong.. Melt the candle in a pan of boiling water until liquid, remove the old with then place the wood wick in its holder at the bottom of the jar. Once cooled, trim to about 10mm above the wax (or more as it will burn down anyway). Dip the wick in the liquid wax first so it has a film of wax. Make sure the wicks are in the centre of the candle otherwise the container will get too hot. Two wicks or more is good for larger candles to prevent the tunneling effect and give an even burn. Makes a lovely crackle with a LOW flame and very little smoke. Very pleased !

Petites mèches très agréables à utiliser. Je me suis surpris à me faire plaisir en créant mes propres bougies pour ne plus jeter systématiquement tous les restes de celles qui ont fondu. Les mèches crépitent agréablement. Je les utilise doublées mais je ne sais pas si c'est absolument nécessaire. C'est vraiment très simple d'utilisation et on se fait plaisir !

Me encantan estas mechas son geniales

for soy C3 double stick , it puts itself out after 10mins of lighting it, ( just wax no oil test) crackly sound almost none, "buy cheap, buy twice"

Ho acquistato questi stoppini per candele in legno perché avevo visto un effetto simile in altre candele e volevo ricrearlo a casa mia. Sono molto soddisfatto del risultato ottenuto! Questo set include 25 pezzi di stoppini in legno tagliabili da 5 pollici, insieme a 25 supporti in ferro. Mi piace il fatto che siano realizzati in legno naturale ecologico e che non producano fumo durante la combustione. Ho scoperto che il modo migliore per usarli è inserire due bastoncini in una sola candela, posizionandoli vicini tra loro. Questo aiuta ad aumentare l'effetto desiderato, creando una fiamma più ampia e affascinante. L'uso degli stoppini in legno è semplice e veloce. Possono essere facilmente tagliati alla dimensione desiderata e inseriti nei supporti in ferro. Una volta accesa la candela, il legno brucia uniformemente e offre un'atmosfera accogliente e suggestiva. In conclusione, i 25 Pezzi stoppini per candele in legno sono un ottimo acquisto per chi desidera creare candele fai da te con un effetto speciale. Sono facili da utilizzare e offrono un'alternativa ecologica e senza fumo rispetto ai tradizionali stoppini in cotone.
