Why choose the 12 cm AVP wick23 for this type of project?
The AVP wick23 12 cm is a wick in pre-waxed cotton, ready to be applied. The AVP wick23 for candle also corresponds to the AVP wick23 pre-waxed; the diameter remains a benchmark to be confirmed by a complete test. To make candles, test this wick with the candle wax actually used: paraffin, soy wax, beeswax, stearin or other vegetable or natural wax. A scented candle, poured into a pot or molded, does not behave the same way.

How to prepare and test the 12 cm AVP wick23?
To make regular candles, compare several cotton wicks in identical pots. Paraffin wax, soy wax or beeswax do not produce the same melt. Natural waxes and stearin blends can also modify the flame. When manufacturing scented candles, keep the same container, the same base and the same dosage of fragrance or dye between two tests. Containers and molds require separate protocols. Check the combustion of container candles like that of moulded candles: a suitable cotton wick should burn regularly.

How to select a wick around AVP23 in 12 cm?
Choose the wick according to the diameter of the container
With a mark of 20 to 30 mm, the AVP wick23 constitutes a starting point for a container of this size. Measure the inside diameter at the wax, then test the candle all the way to the bottom. Use this format if the flame remains stable and the weld pool progresses without tunneling or excessive heating.
Choose the wick according to the wax
The wax has a direct influence the power supply of the AVP wick23: a firmer, softer or differently formulated reference may change the flame. Carry out the test with the wax actually sold in the final container, then compare a neighboring size if the surface melts poorly or if the melting bath becomes too large.
Choose the wick according to the fragrance and the dye
Fragrance and dye can change how the wax powers the AVP wick23. So test the fragrance, color and dosages provided for the candle sold, without starting from a neutral wax sample. As soon as one of these elements changes, do a complete burn again before keeping the same choice of wick.
Choose wick according to production
This 12 cm version is already pre-waxed and mounted on a metal wick sustainer, which simplifies centering and preparation of production. Check that its length is suitable for the filling height, then carry out the final trim after cooling. The bag of 1,000 units is intended for regular productions that have already been validated.

Frequently asked questions about the 12 cm AVP wick23
Find the answers to the most frequently asked questions about the 12 cm AVP wick23: containing, wax, fragrance, assembly, storage and combustion tests.
The 12 cm AVP wick23 is intended for very small diameter containers. Its distinctive benefit consists of starting the AVP calibration on the smallest announced range. The final decision is based on the cycles of the candle prepared with the full commercial formulation.
The benchmark announced for AVP23 in 12 cm is between 20 and 30 mm. The diameter measured at the wax level allows the initial series to be prepared, without prejudging the final result.
When evaluating AVP23 in 12 cm, the advantage of this length lies in a comfortable working length for a fine solution. The decision must include the available height, anchoring and the length planned for the cut.
Yes. The announced vegetable wax families can be tested with AVP23 in 12 cm. Keep the material, the fragrance load and the color of the future candle from the test.
Integrate the fragrance into the commercial rate from the prototypes produced with this wick. Another fragrance or a different rate requires restarting the protocol from the beginning.
This model is delivered in pre-waxed and mounted on metal wick support. Inspect the crimp before centering the wick.
Build the first series with another wick system if the project falls outside this range. Reserve a higher power AVP for a larger pot for a second pass conducted with the rest of the protocol unchanged.
Document the start, flame height, weld pool, any smoke or deposits, and container temperature. Keep the link between test results and reference 30-4.
The tunnel observed with this model does not automatically indicate a bad format: the wax, the fragrance or the test schedule can also explain it. Vary one piece of data at a time.
Switch to a different reference if several units equipped with this wick show the same drift with centered mounting and constant height. Then choose control depending on the defect noted.
After removal, close the packaging, place it away from humidity and protect the 12 cm AVP wicks23 from deformation or contamination. Store each batch in a marked area, away from neighboring references.
Because the result obtained with this wick cannot be dissociated from the wax, the additions, the container and the assembly. Several candles followed over all their cycles provide a more reliable basis for decision-making than a single result.
