You could use a pliers they are call needle nose and those wicks will slide right out. Saving you time with the wickless testing method.

Use apple core to remove wicks it is a lot easier to

I already know what is going on.

I also just ordered premier wicks from black tie barn! I’m switching from LX series to premier. Haven’t been happy with HT in my apothecary jars! What premier wicks did u use to double wick that jar?

Thanks for sharing. Testing is a lot of work and can be frustrating. Have you ever tried to do wickless testing? I didn't catch what wick size worked best in your candle. I like those apothecary jars you chose. Thanks for sharing.
