Product description

The Booster crackling wooden wick with a width of 12.7 mm is a flat wick for container candles. When burning, it produces a gentle crackling sound reminiscent of a fireplace. It comes as a set with a metal sustainer that holds the wick upright at the bottom of the container.

The Booster series features a tab reinforced with an additional booster layer. The pack contains 100 wicks with sustainers, making it suitable for regular production as well as smaller batches.

What makes this wick interesting

Crackling when burning – this wick belongs to the crackling series. The intensity of the sound varies depending on the candle formulation.
Booster reinforcing layer – the tab is strengthened with an additional wood layer, which sets this series apart from simple flat wicks.
Sustainer included – the wick slots into the sustainer and stands upright on the bottom of the container.
Wood from certified sources – the manufacturer states that the wicks are natural, allergen-free, and biodegradable.

Use in candle making

This wick is designed for container candles, where the sustainer rests on the bottom. The process is straightforward:

insert the wick into the sustainer and place it in the centre of the container,
pour the wax at the temperature recommended for the given wax type,
once set, trim the wick to suit the wax level.

Wick length is adjusted to the height of the container. It can be trimmed before pouring or after the wax has set.

Good to know

Wick width is chosen based on the container diameter, wax type, and fragrance load. The same wick behaves differently in different formulations, so every new combination should be verified with a test burn. Check whether the wax melts to the full edge of the container, how high the flame is, and whether the wick produces any soot.

A wooden wick that is too long burns with a high flame and produces soot; one that is too short will drown in the wax. Remove the charred portion before each subsequent lighting.

Wood is a natural material, so individual wicks may vary slightly in grain and shade.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the Booster wooden wick crackle?

The Booster wooden wick crackles because it belongs to the crackling wick series, which produces a sound similar to a fireplace when burning. The intensity of the crackling is not the same for every candle and varies with the formulation. When using a new combination of wax and fragrance, it is worth doing a test burn to check the sound in advance.

What does the .04 designation on a wooden wick mean?

The .04 designation on a wooden wick indicates the tab thickness according to the manufacturer's coding. A higher number means a thicker tab. Together with the wick width, this is the parameter used to select a wick for a given container and candle formulation. The suitability of a specific thickness should always be confirmed with a test burn.

How do I choose the right wooden wick width for my container?

Wooden wick width is selected based on the internal diameter of the container, the wax type, and the fragrance load. A correctly chosen wick will melt the wax pool to the full edge of the container, burn with a steady flame, and produce no soot. Every new combination of container, wax, and fragrance needs to be verified with a test burn, as the same wick behaves differently in different formulations.

Is the sustainer included with the Booster wooden wick?

Yes, the pack includes a metal sustainer for flat wooden wicks with every Booster wooden wick. The wick slots into the sustainer and stands upright on the bottom of the container. A pack of 100 wicks and sustainers therefore contains everything needed to set a wick — sustainers do not need to be purchased separately.

What is the Booster wooden wick made of?

The Booster wooden wick is made from wood sourced from certified suppliers. The manufacturer states that the wicks are natural, allergen-free, and biodegradable. As a natural material, individual pieces may vary slightly in wood grain and shade. The set includes a metal sustainer that holds the wick in position inside the container.
