I've been seeing a wealth of false info spread on these reviews/questions and I'm truly afraid someone is going to catch their house on fire. If you plan to make any sort of candle (even pouring an old candle into a new jar) do some light research first! If you don't know much about candle making then don't respond to questions about candle making! Pouring candles can be dangerous, you're dealing with an open flame, folks. Just sticking a wick in a random jar and hoping for the best is NOT smart.
1. Candle wick sizes do NOT go by the length of your container but by the diameter, people! As well as a number of other factors (amount of oil, type of wax etc).
2. You can literally cause an EXPLOSION or large fire if you just choose a random wick or don't at least somewhat choose a size in proportion to your container. (Using a XL size wick in a super thin jar for example is a no-no).
3. Candle wicks that are too "small" for your jar will tunnel or not burn cleanly aka you'll have a bunch of wax on the side of your container and your candle will not burn well. Candle wicks that are too "large" for your container will create soot, large flames, and will flicker rapidly (could crack the jar, catch on fire, explode, etc).(okay explosion is fairly rare but catching fire and cracking is seriously not rare. I've seen it happen dozens of times while running burn tests)
4. Unless you test out each type of candle you make with various wicks you will never get a perfect candle or wick. Candle makers test their oils and waxes dozens of times with different wicks before selling a candle. (And for you to leave a bad review because a large wick left soot in your small jar is just insulting to people who know what the heck they're talking about but I digress...)
That being said, I really enjoy Candle Science products. I own a business hand pouring my own candles and I've used them for ages. If you are new to candle making or you just want to try out a single candle check out their website for some info first. They even have a wick calculator so you can find out which wick is the best for your needs. They have tons of videos and instructions (plus the prices are a little better). There are also tons of other companies that make DIY videos and sell wicks and supplies (Candle soylutions, Bramble berry, California Candle Co.) Of course, buying on Amazon is always convenient. I usually turn to their Amazon listings if I need to make just a few products or if I have customers waiting for candles and I need my supplies urgently. Just spend five minutes doing some research from people who know what they're talking about and you should be good to go! It truly is fun and so wonderful to create your own candles just exercise some caution.

How to make Cottage Candles CandMak Candle Wick Kit
Homestead Tessie
I am a newbie at making candles so I was worried when I realized there were so many different types of wicks for different sizes! I wanted one that was clean burning so after much research I bought these. I realized that these were for candles a tiny bit larger but I made them anyways. They worked great, burned clean and long! They don't have a sticky tab on he bottom so I just used a dot of hot glue and it worked great! I'm so happy!
