wooden wick<\/a> candles, though, are not as common and can open up a new conversation with guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWooden wick candles can come with either a single wick or multiple wicks. Just like with cotton wick candles, the more wicks you put into the candle, the better scent throw you are going to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The question we want to address, though, is whether wooden wicks or cotton wicks have a better scent throw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wooden wicks burn lower, which means it heats the wax around the wick without quickly burning it like a cotton wick would. With a cotton candle, your wax burns quicker and can burn the fragrance off quickly. You may notice after a long burn, you may notice that the fragrance is not as strong as it used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a wooden wick, though, you are getting a smoldering burn which means you are getting a longer burn time than you would with a cotton wick candle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wooden wicks produce a smoldering flame which channels heat into your candle quicker than it would with a cotton wick. This means you are going to get a stronger scent quicker than you would with a cotton wick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another reason the wooden wicks are better is from them being laid out horizontally instead of put into the candle vertically like a cotton wick. This helps the wick stay lit longer. It also burns so low that the flame is capable of touching the wax, which makes the burn slower. This lets off a stronger scent throw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wooden wicks are better for a strong and quick scent throw than cotton wicks. If you are prepared to put the effort it takes into maintaining a wooden wick, this is a great candle choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
