One needs to use correct wick size to produce candles that are smokeless and dripless. If the wick is too big , the candle will smoke. If the wick is too small, the candle will drip, and the flame may be drowned by the liquid wax. We have been a candle manufacturer since 1982, and are glad to suggest the most suitable wick for you to use. Our wick is made of 100% cotton,and flat braided. We accept small order.
