Wick and Container Guide (MARCH 2022)

Please refer to the table below to find out our recommendations for our wick and container pairing. We are continuously testing our products. This table will be updated as we make progress.

If you did not find the specific size and container you are looking for, it means we haven't tested them yet. In that case, you may base your testing on the nearest size or type of container available in the chart below.

Disclaimer: Not all candle formulations and work for everyone. It is always recommended to do your own testing to figure out what formula, container and wick combination works best according to your preference. Always do a small test batch first (for any formula, container and wick combination you've never used) before making a big batch.

BY CONTAINER:

Note: All tests were conducted using 100% pure soy wax with no additives.
