Constructed as a flat, coreless wick, ECO Wick improves burn stability and wick curling. The wick is made of cotton and is interwoven with specially treated paper filaments, which reduces the afterglow commonly seen with paper wicks. With self-trimming capabilities, the Eco Wick allows for a decrease in mushrooming and soot. 

Eco Wicks are best suited to vegetable based waxes and lower melt point paraffin.

The Prepped Eco 8 x 6" tall is recommended for pillars and medium container candles 2.5 - 3" in Diameter. If your candle project uses a large amount of colour or fragrance then a larger wick might be required and the Eco 8 might be more suited to the lower end of the recommendation.  

Please note this wick information is only to provide a starting point for your candle making and is based on our own testing using a variety of containers, pillar molds, dyes, fragrances and waxes. Individual testing is recommended as style of container, mold, addition of candle dye and fragrance can alter the wick size required.

  • Wick Designation: Eco 8
  • ROC (gr/hr): 7.37
  • Flame Height (inches): 2.1
  • Pool Diameter (inches): 2.8
  • Notes: ROC means the Rate of Wax Consumption in grams by the wick in one hour
  • Disclaimer: This information is provided only to indicate general trends. These statistics should be viewed as reasonable estimates for comparison purposes only. Actual results should be determined on an application by application basis as results may vary based upon colour, blend, wax, fragrance and size/shape of container.

Which Wick? Choosing the correct type and size wick is one of the most important steps to a great burning candle. While we give wicking suggestions, there are many variables, such as wax type, fragrance level, dye and style of container that can affect how a candle burns. In the case of some larger diameter candles, one wick may not be enough and multiple wicks are required for the candle to burn optimally. We recommend that you always TEST, TEST, TEST before manufacturing several to ensure you have chosen the correct wick for your candle. For accurate test results, start your test burn 12-24 hours after pouring and burn your candle for 3 - 4 hours at a time, allowing the wax to fully harden between burns, re-trimming your wick to the appropriate length before re-lighting.

Not great for my 3" jars

I wanted to love these but with my 3" glass jars they tunnel big time. A word of caution: even if a wick works within the first few days, burn test again after one month of curing and you may find you're actually under-wicked! I still gave these wicks 3 stars because I've used them in 2" jars with success and a great, clean burn.
