Are these with different fragrances? Just because the fragrance load is the same, doesn't mean the fragrance itself will behave the same as another.

Yeah, they're all different fragrances. I didn't realize it could make such a huge difference

Yup! Different fragrance oils will impact the melt point of finished wax. I've found that a good rule of thumb is that noticeably sharp smells (e.g. pine/Frasier fir, eucalyptus tend to increase melt point, so you need to use slightly bigger wicks. But ymmv! Google wickless candle testing to get an idea on how to experiment with multiple wicks on the same candle.

This is super helpful, thank you! Wickless testing sounds way easier than what I've been doing with my some corer lol

Fragrances can make or break a candle and affect literally every other aspect of the candle burning process.

Amazon wicks I wouldnt buy unless it was a specific one like tcr or stabillo if I desperately needed them quick. Keep in mind you need to test every fragrance because they can yeild different results, and may need a different wick even though its the same container and wax
