Size Number Definition - Three Numbers
First number indicates the actual wick size. The size is determined by how many individual threads were braided into the wick. The larger the number the larger the wick. Generally the higher the number the bigger the melt pool and higher rate of wax consumption.
Second number depicts the speed that the thread is sent through the braiding machine. The larger the number, the faster the speed and the tighter the braid. The tighter the braid the slower the wax consumption.
Third number indicates a code for the temperature at which the finished wick is primed with wax. Various temperatures of wax may be needed depending on the wick size, braid tension and wax molecular structure.
Since you asked about my zinc candle review, here ya go....
Your question: "What makes a quality zinc wick" because as you stated "there is only one type of zinc wick?" I disagree. There are multiple variants: flat, square, specialty, and custom sizes for different candle applications. Quality doesn't have to refer only to construction, but can also include performance. I am a little put off by your message, and I am not sure what you were implying. I hope this answered your inquiry. This is my last review. Best, Sondra
Honestly, I'm a bit confused. You had previously left a 5-star review regarding the quality of the zinc wicks, and I thanked you for that. When I talked about the differences between various zinc wicks, I was simply trying to engage in a conversation and learn more. I genuinely don't know the differences.
As I mentioned during our phone call, I don't personally use zinc wicks. I only began carrying them because customers requested them. I'm glad to hear that these turned out to be the high-quality wicks we were all hoping for.
I'm always looking to expand my knowledge and better understand the products I offer. In no way was I trying to offend anyone, and I honestly don't understand what the issue is. If I've somehow misunderstood something, I'd appreciate any clarification.

Great zinc wicks!
Quality zinc wicks are hard to find, until now. I am very pleased with my purchase and will be buying more from this company in the future.
So glad they worked for you! But I am curious as to what makes a good zinc wick :) I didn't realize that there was more than one on the market at this point. Best to you, Lyschel
