Ner Mitzvah Round Floating Wicks, Cotton Wicks and Cork Disc Holders for Oil Cups, Bonus Wick Removal Tweezers - 100 Count (Approx)

I did not know how much of the wick to leave on top, so I pull almost 3/4 for the top and about 1/4 for the bottom. and I am loving these wicks. So far, it has been burning over 7.5 hours. I used extra virgin olive oil in a 6" wide bowl and I can see a very noticeable level of usage during the burn. I do not recommend mixing water with the oil. The wick will absorb the water and will nit burn, even if there is oil on the top of the water. For safety concern, you can place your oil lamp in another container and place water it it separately. I will definitely purchase again. These wicks fit all the categories, durability, quality, and look very nice when placed in my oil lamps.

Work good for diy oil lamp

Good quality, easy to use, nice small size. Burned one for over 16 hours with no issues

From the picture, I expected these to be larger than they actually are. The disks are maybe a half inch in diameter and quite thin. They are rather flimsy, and if you aren’t very careful they will tip over and be useless. But if you take the time to gently place them on the surface of a pool of oil, cork side down, and then light the wick, they will burn steadily for hours. I have been using them in empty candle containers filled with reused vegetable oil. And they do make nice little oil lamps, as long as you handle them gingerly. Fortunately, they provide a little plastic tweezer for that. Just wish they were larger and more stable.

These wicks were smaller than I expected them to be and you have to manually put the wicks into the discs. It worked however the discs kept moving to the edge of the glass container allowing the fire to touch the rim of the glass and causing burn spots/ marks on the glass. It also is top heavy (metal piece on top & cork on the bottom) and when fire was put out the wicks sunk into the oil making it unusable. I think if the discs were larger in diameter it would prevent this from happening

I light a menorah every morning. It provides the perfect quality and amount of light for my prayer time. I am saving a lot of money compared to using wax taper candles. There was a little bit of a learning curve in figuring out a good system for using these wicks, but I have found them to be of very consistent quality. I'm able to get two uses (approx. 2 hours each use) out of these wicks. I'm sure others have different ways of using them, but here's my process: 1) Fill oil cups to the brim, 2) Slide new wick into disk, leave about 1/4" (40%) exposed above. 3) Hold wick by head with fingers and drop lightly into oil cup (silver side up) and light immediately to avoid capsizing. 4) Repeat process till all cups are lit. 5) When finished, do not leave wicks in oil cups. Use needle nose pliers to grab and extinguish burning wicks out of oil cups one by one and place them into receptacle for next use. 6) For second use, use scissors to trim off top 1/10th of an inch of burnt wick, pull wick up so approx. 1/4" is exposed and then drop and light each wick into refilled oil cups. 7) At end of second use, use needle nose pliers to grab and extinguish each burning wick (make sure flame is out!) and then drop them in the trash can. Please note that trimming and reusing the wicks on the second use can be a bit messy and you don't want the ash and oil residue on your fingers and clothes, etc. So always have tissue nearby to wipe off the oil from the disk before reusing and to wipe the ash and oil from your fingers. Occasionally one of the burning wicks will capsize in the cup and go out. This is infrequent, but I have found that you can pull it out with needle nose, wipe off the silver side of the disk and with your fingers and thumbs shape the disk so that it is slightly concave and drop it back in the cup and relight.

I used the cork floaters. The inserting wicks where cut too small for the holes. Sloppy measurements. You might do well to check that person's accuracy cutting the wicks not to slip and cause to overwhelm the floating capabilities of cork.i decided to use a double floater with 1 wick. It appeared to work, within 90 mins had sunken the bottom..hence has no use for me.

Really useful for oil candles.

This is my 3rd time order. I have had no problems.

These are just okay. They tend to burn too quickly, not lasting 3 hours before going out requiring more wick be exposed and re-lit. Also, after only about 2-3 times of exposing more wick, the whole thing needs to be replaced. Standard 4 hour tea-lights seem to work better than these and are more reliable.

Bastante malos, son una rueda de corcho con un pabilo bastante malo y no trae los 100 que dicen.

Work quite well Fast delivery

Ok not too bad candle
