Most wicks. are 15 cm in height, with limited 31 cm wicks for the tall vessels. Varying types as in CDN, ACS, HTP. All ranges of wicks are manufactured by top wick manufacturers.
Varying sizes for different jar diameters. The main difference between ACS and CDN wicks is the core. CDN have a paper core whilst the ACS range are purely cotton throughout. HTP wicks are cotton wicks which feature braided paper fibers to enhance the rigidity of the material. They have a softer burn (which is good for soy) and tend to curl slightly as they burn. They also have the useful property of self-trimming however, it is always good practice to trim them when required.
The sizes on the wicks are manufacturing sizes. The diameter size I put on the label are a guide line only. Own testing is required and very important.
