Humankind Candles

Today I conducted one of my largest and most expensive tests done to date - around $115. 

I was able to buy a wider variety of wicks which vary in width and length.  And these are mm differences - lengths from 0.35 to 0.7mm, and widths from 0.2-0.4mm. 

I’m looking for the perfect burn, which means that the candle burns at a fair rate relative to the dimensions of these wicks and glasses. The other thing I’m testing for is the durability of these glasses and how well the wax adheres to the glass, which affects the aesthetics (wet spots, frosting etc). 

These glasses are new so extensive testing is needed 😊😊 enjoying the process and getting closer to what I dreamed of — making the perfect candle.
