Just What I Needed, and Then Some
You might think, "They're just wicks. What's the big deal?" Here's the big deal: While the product itself is great, it's the "and then some" that takes it to the next level. With a purchase of these wicks, the seller then follows up with a thank you letter that includes a free ebook showing how to make your candles. This is way above and beyond "just wicks." It's adding value to an already valuable product. It's being generous. It's taking care of your customers in a big way. If you are making candles and need wicks, buy these.

Good for beeswax candles
They’ve worked well with my beeswax candles. I expected to have more hiccups in the candle-making process than I’ve had. The internet had me thinking there would be a lot of trial and error with wicks but these burn evenly and are easy to work with. These candles burn for 40 hours. Not sure yet if that has to do with the wicks or not. Still learning. I’d buy them again.

Great!
These wicks are great and the centering device makes it so easy to make candles. The wicks burn well and not too fast.

Good but haves some flaws
This product is good but the wick would burn really easily and it wouldn’t last very long. But I liked it over all I made one to three candles with the wax I had.

Perfect buy!!
This was a great first buy for me!!! It worked in my 4 and 8 oz with a nice clean burn. Will be ordering more :-)

Wick curls down far too easily, ruining candle
We've used these wicks now for dozens of candles. Jar candles, pillars, votives. No matter the candle size or the number of wicks/candle we use, the same problem keeps happening: the wick curls in on itself, charring off the top--which has to be removed. As a result, the melt pool is always far too small for the candle width. If you use a longer length of wick, it burns too fast/high, producing a large carbon-mushroom. If you use a smaller length of wick, it just curls into the wax. The right wick length to get the right burn rate to produce the right diameter wax pool--same thing: wick curls in on itself ruining the effect. We tried without scent, no dye. No difference. The wick just isn't stable. It would be worth it to pay more for wicks that all actually work. It's a waste of money and time to buy these inexpensive but poor-working wicks that ruin all the effort you put into making candles. If it matters, we use soy wax...

Great for small candles
The weighted wicks did center nicely with the included centering tool. They remained straight while pouring hot wax in, with no bending or collapsing. They were in good condition when they arrived, and feel well made.But they burned 1" diameter for me, and did not work in a 3" container. I'm not experienced enough to say if this is the fault of my wax or my wick.I tried this with my junk candle wax and some empty, clean 3" diameter metal cans. I was hopeful that the reflected heat from the metal would help ensure an even melt and burn, since 3" is the top of the recommended range for these wicks. I was disappointed. After hours, it was clear I was only getting a 1" diameter burn, the exact same diameter I get from the spool wick I use for taper candles.I tried the YouTube aluminum foil cone trick to try to increase my melt pool diameter and fix the wax memory before it tunneled down more, and this YouTube trick didn't work. The outside of the metal can is very warm, but my wax is stiff.I'm not entirely sure this is the wick's fault. I noticed while trying to melt my wax that it requires higher temperatures than recommended, and it has a lot of shrinkage as it cools, which I'm given to understand is better for molds than jar candles. While there were some old gross tapers in the junk wax mix, it was mostly jar remnants and large 4-5" pillars (which I realize as I write this are mold-made candles).I'll be trying this again after I blend some Crisco into my wax. If the burn diameter increases, I'll update my review.

Good Candle wicks
Candle wicks were easy to use and work perfectly. Would recommend to anyone that makes their own candles.
