Review on EricX Light 200 ft Spool of Organic Beeswax Hemp Wick | Thick Gauge (2.0mm) | Well Coated with 100% Beeswax by Nicole Mcleod

I make many different types of candles. Now I'm working on low beam candles. So far I've used a 24-strand cotton wick (almost the standard for most candles). The problem with picking up coreless cotton is that it curls quite a bit. With dipping cones, this vortex causes the candle to burn faster - lots of dripping and wasted wax, significantly reducing burn time. I wanted to try a different wicking material for these candles and saw this as an alternative to the wick. I had never worked with hemp wick before so it was a new experience. I have to say that after making almost a hundred of these cone shaped candles (about 1 inch in diameter) I will never use any other absorbent material again. It works with both paraffin and soy wax and burns with a decent flame with little waste. I've also tried this absorbent material in several candle shapes - mostly 2- to 3-inch diameter cane candles. A wick is too small for 3" pillar candles, but one of the things that makes this absorbent material so good is that you can cut 2-3 wicks, twist them together and use them as one wick. The beeswax on the wick acts like one Glue and the wicks work well rolled up.Three wicks twisted together are perfect for the poles I made.It's a bit more expensive than a cheap 24 strand cotton wick but worth the price.I will be using this wick from now on for the I use most of my candles. Also nice is that you don't have to refill the wick before use. It may seem like a small thing but the time saving is noticeable.
