A lot of people are shocked by the amount of wicks they can choose from when they first start making candles. It isn't easy to select the appropriate kind of wick to use with your candle. The right wick can make all the difference in an edifice being a huge success or a complete failure. Proper wicking makes all the difference when it comes to the longevity of your candle, how well it burns and whether or not it keeps burning.
You can have your wicks tabbed in advance, or put on spools.
Most commonly, pre-tabbed candles will be used in container candles and votives. These wicks are made of stiff wicks that have metal bases. The wick is connected to the tab by an extended metal piece, known as the wick collar or neck that is also available in various lengths.

The wick tab keeps the candle from burning when the flame on it hits the neck of the metal. This prevents the flame from reaching the bottom of the container. In the event of overheating, it could result in the container breaking.
Spooled wicks are most commonly employed in tapers and pillars and are able to be used with or without tabs, or tabs can be fixed by hand.

It is recommended to spend time researching wicks online or in a guidebook on candle making before you start selecting Wicks.

A wick that is too big can make the candle burn more slowly, which could result in excessive soot or smoking.
