Wooden wicks and cotton wick candle for scented candles
Wooden wicks are thin boards or wooden tubes crafted specifically for candle making. They produce beautiful crackling noises, but require more attention and maintenance. A cotton core is a woven thread of cotton, soaked in wax and compressed to maintain its shape. Cotton wicks can often reduce costs and make it easier to maintain candles.
Both wooden and cotton wicks are easy to ignite and catch fire the first time they are lit. However, in the second and subsequent burning, the wooden varieties will require more care and time. Cotton wicks are more like a hand-holding candle, trimming the wicks and they will be lit in 3 seconds, while wooden wicks can take up to 20 seconds to catch fire. In fact, it may take 2 or 3 attempts to rekindle wooden wick candles, as they take more time for the fire to penetrate the outer, more charred layer of wood.
Both types of wicks struggle with air currents or gusts of wind. Burning candles in ventilated corridors or outdoors can cause unstable flames to consume more candles, but also produce more soot and smoke in the process. Wooden wicks are not recommended for use in ventilated places or outdoors, as they are easier to extinguish under light wind pressure and are more difficult to re-ignite. Cotton wicks perform much better in outdoor environments, but still struggle and burn faster and more erratically.
