Helix™ Wick is Atkin & Pearce’s latest candle wick and is constructed by braiding two Aroma-lite™ wicks. Engineered for candle systems with a high level of fragrance, this wick is used mostly in vegetable wax formulations. The Helix™ wick is reinforced with a paper core and helps to achieve a large wax pool in some candles.

Measured in yards of wick per pound in weight. The higher the yield, the smaller the wick and the flame and the resulting heat generated.
The rate of wax consumption in ounces by the wick in one hour. The higher the burn rate the more wax which is being consumed. Used to determine how well a wick and wax combination is performing.
