Burns steadily and has a pleasant flavor.
Different types of natural hemp are used, but both are effective in terms of combustion.
I simply purchased the standard small ones. This was, however, my first purchase of this type of merchandise. I had no idea different sizes existed. FYI: For my candles, this did not work. The wick was constantly going out, and when it did stay lit, the flame was TINY. I was extremely dissatisfied with this product.
Yes, it was, as far as I recall. In any case, it's been performing admirably since I got it.

A candle with a diameter of no more than 5 inches should be used. Wick with a low flame for burning. I'd go with a candle that's no more than two inches in diameter. The diameter is 5 inches. There is no black smoke produced by the flame, which is always a good thing. The flame on the candle in the photo is too small to burn evenly across the entire surface.
I forgot to extinguish a candle I made with this, and it was still burning when I returned two days later! Yes, it was foolish of me to leave a candle burning, but I live in Humboldt County. To cut a long story short, this wick can be used to light candles as well as my bong. This is a product that I would strongly suggest to anyone!.
I bought both this and the Twisted Bee organic hemp wick, and I've already used both. The EricX has a more appealing appearance, the wax is softer or more deeply embedded in the hemp, and it stays lit longer than the Twisted Be. I will buy EricX Light again in the future because it is better and half the price of the EricX brand.
UPDATE: So I started burning the twisted wick and it's perfect! It doesn't burn as quickly as it used to (but that could be due to the candle's size). I ordered this because the wick spool at micheals was more expensive than what I've seen here. br>br>I ordered this because the wick spool at micheals was more expensive than what I've seen here. br>br>I ordered this because the wick spool at micheals was more expensive than what I've seen here. br>br>I ordered this because the wick spool at micheals was more expensive than what I This was used in my first candle, which was a combination of an old candle and a 5pb bag I purchased here as well. Because there is so little wick above the melted wax, the wick burned too quickly, and the flame is so small compared to store-bought candles. When you bought candles, the wax underneath would extinguish the tiny flame if you moved the candle. I simply made a smaller candle and twisted an extra long wick because I'd heard they could help. When I have a chance to burn the thicker, twisted wick, I will post an update. Also, the candle is marked "made in China," which isn't a deal breaker for me.
If you're new to candlemaking, like me, you should be aware that this wick is only suitable for vessels with a smaller diameter. Less than 2" For larger diameter vessels, double wrapping is an option.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but the wax keeps submerging the wick, and the wicks are super thin, so I braided this one together in the hopes of speeding up the burn, but it didn't help. It simply consumes a lot of energy very quickly: (I'm extremely disappointed).
There's a reason I'm ordering this hemp Wick for the fifth time. This stuff burns amazingly well and does not retain a flame like a lot of other wicks, has no taste or odor, and leaves no residue on my hands. For many years to come, I will be loyal to this brand.
Unfortunately, the tealight candles I made with this wick material fizzed out about halfway through, resulting in a waste of my beeswax. The flame was also about a third of the way up. Because the wick wasn't strong enough, the candle had to be powered the entire time it was burning. br>I attempted to make a larger candle, one that would be suitable for votives - After an hour or so, the wick died. Overall, it burns too fast. br>br> br>Doesn't it need to be a little thicker? I'm not sure why, but I'm stumped as to what to do with the rest of the materials, which I can't use to make candles. It's a huge letdown.
