Wick Testing TitanWax Natural 5373 & HPSP Wicks
I'm currently testing Titan Natural 5373 candle wax with HPSP candle wicks. I'm hoping that this will be helpful to some when narrowing down which wicks to use. Feel free to adjust based on your wax/vessel/fragrance oil combo. I'm using a vessel that's 3-1/8" inner diameter at the top, so if yours is smaller, you will want to wick down. It's best to test a couple wick sizes in a few wick series or brands to see what you like the best! Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any questions at all. I'm here to help.
About HPSP Wicks...
Constructed of specially treated cotton, Special High-Performance Flat Wicks by São Vitor are often used in container candles, pillars, tapers, decorative, votives, and tealight candles because it minimizes soot. HPSP candle wicks feature a long strand and tight braids to inhibit carbon deposit and afterglow. These are designed to use in coconut blended waxes.
I'm using a 3-1/8" jar and the wicks I'm using are Hpsp 331 (single wick) and Hpsp 335 (single wick). I'm using 8% fragrance load. I will allow it to cure for 2 weeks before testing them. I will keep you updated! If you've found a combination that works for you, please feel free to share your results below.
