Thanks for your email and visit! I am not familiar with the wicks you mention, I am familiar with the HTP wick line. If your burn pool does not reach the edge of your container, try a larger wick. This should increase the size of your burn pool, and your wax should be consumed completely by the wick. Hope that helps!
