CSI Wick Buying · 6.5 cm vs 8 cm
The same 200 g makes a deep column in a 6.5 cm jar and a shallow disc in an 8 cm one. Each needs its own ladder; the two ladders share C1 and C2, so one set of small packs covers both.
+51.5%
more surface for the wick in the 8 cm jar than in the 6.5 cm jar at the same 200 g · two buy lists, one ₹332.40 order
Quick answers — read this first
Why would two 200 g candles need different wicks? Because the wick melts a surface, not a weight. 200 g in a 6.5 cm jar spreads over 33.18 cm²; in an 8 cm jar, over 50.27 cm², 51.5% more. Same grams, different job for the flame.What do I buy for the 6.5 cm jar? The bottom of CSI's range: Eco C1 as our likely centre, Eco C2 as the rung expected to fail high, three candles each. Below C1, CSI's one candidate is the untabbed Eco Candle Wicks Loose, the only CSI wick whose page names a smaller candle ("2 inch diameters"), cut to length; buy it only if C1 runs hot.
And for the 8 cm jar? Eco C1 as the low anchor, Eco C2 and Cotton Braided as the likely centre, three candles each, as in the 8 cm hub.
Do I need two sets of wick packs? No. One C1 20-pack (₹118.00; the 10-pack is out of stock), one C2 10-pack (₹94.40) and one Cotton Braided 10-pack (₹120.00) cover both ladders: ₹332.40 instead of ₹544.80 for two orders. The saving is cash, not price per wick.
The short answer
6.5 cm list: C1 × 3 (centre, judgement) + C2 × 3 (fail above). Loose 2-inch × 3 at a labelled 10 cm cut only if C1 runs hot: ₹1,119.82 with the roll for its tabs.
8 cm list: C1 × 3 (low anchor) + C2 × 3 + Cotton Braided × 3 (centre C2 or Cotton Braided, judgement).
One order for both: C1 20 + C2 10 + Cotton Braided 10 = ₹332.40; fifteen 200 g candles at 8% need 240 g of Apple Cinnamon and 2,760 g of Chunks; cash with a re-pour reserve ₹4,205.48 before your jars.
The honest limit: both jars are yours. CSI lists no container at 6.5 or 8 cm across (6.5 cm appears only as the base of its 150 g jars), and has no sized, tabbed wick below C1.

Left, to scale: the same 200 g as a narrow, deep pool and a wide, shallow one. Right: CSI's wick options in order, with each jar's bracket. The narrow jar sits at the bottom of the range, where the one step below C1 that CSI's pages point to is an untabbed, cut-to-length wick; the wide jar sits where the 8 cm hub's ladder does. The two brackets overlap on C1 and C2, which is why one set of packs covers both.

Straight answer
My candle jar holds 200 g but has a narrow 6.5 cm diameter. Why would it need a different wick from another 200 g candle in an 8 cm jar?
Because a wick is chosen for the surface it has to melt, and the two jars give 200 g very different surfaces: about 33.18 cm² at 6.5 cm inside against 50.27 cm² at 8 cm, 51.5% more for the wide jar. The narrow candle is a deep column, about 6.85 cm of wax on our rule-of-thumb depth; the wide one is a shallow disc, about 4.52 cm. A wick that just reaches the glass in the narrow jar will commonly leave a ring in the wide one; a wick that fills the wide jar can run hot in the narrow one. So you buy two lists. The 6.5 cm list sits at the bottom of CSI's range: Eco C1 (our likely centre) and Eco C2 (expected to fail high), three candles each, with the untabbed Eco Candle Wicks Loose ("2 inch diameters") as the honest below-C1 option, bought only if C1 runs hot. The 8 cm list is C1, C2 and Cotton Braided, three each, centred on C2 or Cotton Braided. The lists overlap on C1 and C2, so one C1 20-pack (₹118.00), one C2 10-pack (₹94.40) and one Cotton Braided 10-pack (₹120.00) cover both: ₹332.40. Both centres are our judgement; the candles decide.
One line: equal weight gives equal wax and oil bills; unequal width gives unequal wick lists, which happen to share two packs.
One wick order, two ladders: Eco C1 20-pack (₹118.00; the 10-pack is out of stock on 1 October 2026), Eco C2 10-pack (₹94.40) and Cotton Braided 10-pack (₹120.00). The Loose 2-inch waits until the narrow jar's C1 candles have burned. All in stock on 1 October 2026.
Eco C1/C2 — from ₹94.40
Same grams, different surface
A 200 g label tells you how long the candle lasts. It tells the wick nothing about how far it has to reach.
Pool area is π × r² on the inside diameter: geometry, not a burn prediction. The rest of this table follows from it. The fill depth uses a commonly used rule of thumb (wax weighs roughly 0.86–0.9 times the same volume of water; we use 0.88) and must be confirmed by a weighed pour in your own jar.
Two 200 g candles · what changes with width
π r² on inside diameter · rule-of-thumb depth at 0.88 · ~1 cm stop · all figures declared
| Measure | 6.5 cm inside | 8 cm inside | What it changes in the order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pool area | 33.18 cm² | 50.27 cm² (+51.5%) | Which rungs: the whole bracket moves |
| Grams of candle per cm² of pool | 6.03 | 3.98 | Deep column vs shallow disc |
| Fill depth (rule of thumb) | about 6.85 cm | about 4.52 cm | Wick length: check a 10.16 cm Cotton Braided or a cut length clears your fill |
| Wax left at a ~1 cm stop | 29 g | 44 g | — |
| Wax burned to the stop | 171 g | 156 g | Burn days per candle (see the bill) |
| Rough hours to a full first pool (1 h per 2.5 cm) | about 2.6 | about 3.2 | Session length: at least 3 h for both, 3–4 h for the wide jar |
| Oil and wax per candle at 8% | 16 g + 184 g | 16 g + 184 g | Nothing: equal weight, equal bill per candle |
Read a figure as the outside instead of the inside and the gap shifts but does not close: at a 0.35 cm wall (our labelled assumption), 6.5 cm outside is 5.8 cm inside (26.42 cm²) and 8 cm outside is 7.3 cm (41.85 cm²). Why the same weight can need different wicks in principle is the tall-narrow versus short-wide post; whether one wick can serve two same-capacity jars is the same-capacity, different-diameter post. This page turns it into two orders.
Mistake: buying "the 200 g wick" once and using it in both jars. Why it fails: there is no such wick. At 200 g the narrow jar and the wide jar sit at opposite ends of a bracket; a single wick will commonly be under in one and over in the other. Fix: one ladder per jar, poured the same day from the same pot, so the width is the only thing that differs.
Buy list 1: the 6.5 cm jar
At the bottom of the range, the question is not what to buy above C1. It is what you can buy below it.
33.18 cm² is between CSI's 6 cm jars (about 22.06 cm² inside on our wall assumption) and its 7 cm jars (about 31.17 cm²). For 6–7 cm the series puts the likely answer at C1 or a rung either side; at 6.5 cm with a mid-weight spiced oil our judgement is C1 as the centre and C2 as the rung expected to fail high. Cotton Braided, described by its page for "exceeding 8 cm", is not in this ladder. How a first-burn tunnel at this size is read is the 6 cm first-burn post; this page owns the order.
Buy list · 6.5 cm jar · 200 g · 8% Apple Cinnamon in Chunks
Three candles per configuration · smallest in-stock pack · per-wick price declared · CSI live pricing, 1 October 2026
| Wick | Role | Count | Smallest in-stock pack | Price | Per wick | When to buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eco C1 | likely centre | 3 | 20 (10-pack out of stock) | ₹118.00 | ₹5.90 | First order |
| Eco C2 | expected to fail high | 3 | 10 | ₹94.40 | ₹9.44 | First order |
| Eco Candle Wicks Loose, 10 cm cut | below C1, untabbed | 3 | 5 m | ₹413.00 | ₹8.26 (labelled cut) | Only if C1 runs hot |
| Tabs for the Loose wick | holds it upright | 3 | Braided Wick Roll with 100 wick tabs | ₹706.82 | — | With the Loose; or ask us for tabs alone |
| First order, this jar alone | 6 | two packs | ₹212.40 |
What closes the bracket here: if C1 passes and C2 runs hot, C1 is closed from above but not from below, because CSI lists no sized, tabbed wick smaller than C1. You can approve C1 as "the smallest CSI tabbed rung that passes" and record the missing lower fail, or buy the Loose arm to supply it. If C1 itself runs hot (a fast full pool, a tall flame, a deep pool) the Loose arm is no longer optional: it is the only CSI wick whose page points below this jar's size.
Don't buy the Loose arm in the first order: three test candles on it cost ₹1,119.82 in wick and tabs, because CSI sells the Loose wick by length with no tabs and lists no separate tab pack; the tabs come with a 61 m braided roll. That is more than the C1 and C2 packs together, for an arm our judgement expects most 6.5 cm candles not to need. Argued against our own interest: wait for the C1 candles. If you need tabs alone, ask us before buying the roll.
Buy list 2: the 8 cm jar
Same 200 g, same oil, same wax. The wide jar's ladder starts where the narrow one ends.
50.27 cm² is the hub's case, and its ladder applies: C1 as the low anchor, expected to fail low; C2 and Cotton Braided as the likely centre, three candles each. Cotton Braided's page places it at "exceeding 8 cm", which makes this jar its boundary case. Apple Cinnamon's notes run to "vanilla and warm amber"; heavier, sweeter oils are commonly linked to needing a wick step up (a tendency, not a rule), so we keep both upper rungs in play. The full method, the double-wick arm and the approval rule are in the 8 cm hub; this page adds only what changes when it shares an order with the narrow jar.
Buy list · 8 cm jar · 200 g · 8% Apple Cinnamon in Chunks
Three candles per rung · smallest in-stock pack · per-wick price declared · CSI live pricing, 1 October 2026
| Wick | Role | Count | Smallest in-stock pack | Price | Per wick |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eco C1 | low anchor, expected to fail low | 3 | 20 (shared) | ₹118.00 | ₹5.90 |
| Eco C2 | likely centre | 3 | 10 (shared) | ₹94.40 | ₹9.44 |
| Cotton Braided | likely centre / fail high | 3 | 10 | ₹120.00 | ₹12.00 |
| This jar alone | 9 | three packs | ₹332.40 |
If Cotton Braided still leaves a ring in the wide jar, the next step is a pair (2 × C1 or 2 × C2), which the hub covers; the shared C1 pack still has 14 wicks after both ladders, enough for a 2 × C1 arm of six. A pair is not part of the narrow jar's plan: at 33.18 cm² our judgement is that two wicks would only add heat.
Burning two ladders at once
Fifteen candles of two widths, with different session lengths and different numbers of sessions to the bottom, is a scheduling job: the narrow jar has more wax above its stop (171 g against 156 g) on a smaller pool. How many test hours each jar needs and how to run them side by side is the paired-jar test-hour post.One set of packs for both ladders
Two jars, one C1 pack. The overlap in the brackets is an overlap in the shopping list.
The narrow ladder needs C1 and C2; the wide ladder needs C1, C2 and Cotton Braided. Buying them as two orders would mean two C1 20-packs and two C2 10-packs. Buying once, the C1 20-pack covers both jars' three-candle sets with 14 left, and the C2 10-pack covers both with 4 left. Because the price is flat per wick, sharing does not make a wick cheaper. It means ₹212.40 less cash out today and 30 fewer wicks of rungs you may never approve sitting on a shelf.
Pack coverage · both ladders from one order
Three candles per configuration · re-pour = three more of one configuration · CSI live pricing, 1 October 2026
| Pack | Price | 6.5 cm jar | 8 cm jar | Left | Covers a re-pour? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eco C1 20 | ₹118.00 | 3 (centre) | 3 (low anchor) | 14 | Yes, of either jar, with room for a wide-jar 2 × C1 arm |
| Eco C2 10 | ₹94.40 | 3 (fail high) | 3 (centre) | 4 | Yes, one |
| Cotton Braided 10 | ₹120.00 | — | 3 | 7 | Yes |
| Shared order | ₹332.40 | vs two separate orders ₹544.80 | 25 wicks | Saves ₹212.40 in cash | |
Don't buy the 100-packs because two jars "use more wicks": together the two ladders use 15 wicks. The C1 100 (₹590.00) costs exactly what 100 wicks cost in 20-packs, and at least one of these rungs will end up rejected in each jar. Argued against our own interest: ₹332.40 is the whole wick order for two jars until a configuration passes full life.
The two-jar bill, candle by candle
Equal weight is the friendly half of this question: the wax and oil cost the same in both jars.
Each 200 g candle at 8% is 16 g of Apple Cinnamon (₹75.90) and 184 g of Chunks (₹110.22) in either jar, load as a percentage of total candle weight, CSI's convention. Only the wick line differs.

4
Cure together, burn in still airThe oil's listing says "cure 48-72 hours"; many makers wait about a week before judging. Sessions of at least 3 hours, 3–4 for the wide jar; trimmed to about 5–6 mm.

Approve each jar on its own full lifeThree candles of each jar's leader burned to about 1 cm left; read the final third by eye (flame height, soot, pool depth, how close the flame gets to the glass), never by touching the jar.
After approval: two wick SKUs, one oil and wax plan
Two jars at one weight usually means two wicks and one wax order.
If both jars stay in your range, production carries the same split as the ladders: the oil and wax plan is per gram and identical per candle; the wick plan is per jar. Wicks to buy = candles × wicks per candle × (1 + allowance), the formula from the hub. With a worked-example 100 narrow and 100 wide candles a month and a 5% allowance:
Production month · worked example: 100 + 100 candles, 200 g each
Narrow on C1, wide on C2 or Cotton Braided (whichever passes) · flat per-wick pricing · oil and wax for scale · all figures declared
| Line | 6.5 cm jar | 8 cm jar |
|---|---|---|
| Wicks a month | 105 C1 → 100 + 20 = 120, ₹708.00 | 105 C2 → 100 + 10 = 110, ₹1,038.40; or Cotton Braided 110, ₹1,320.00 |
| Materials for 100 candles (1 kg oil, 10 kg wax prices) | ₹19,217.92 | ₹19,571.92 on C2 |
| Apple Cinnamon, both jars | 3,200 g → 3 × 1 kg + 2 × 100 g, ₹15,179.52 | |
| Chunks, both jars | 36,800 g → 3 × 10 kg + 5 kg + 2 × 1 kg, ₹22,190.00 | |
The wide jar's wick costs ₹354.00 more a month than the narrow jar's if C2 wins; that is the whole price of the width at this volume. Two wick SKUs need two reorder points, each from its own jar's sales: reorder point = daily use × your lead time + safety stock, with a lead time you set yourself (CSI dispatches from Pune and publishes no lead times or stock depth). How to set them per SKU is the 500-candles-a-month reorder post; whether to keep separate approved ranges per diameter or stock the union is the three-jar-sizes post.
Don't standardise the wick to save a SKU: putting the wide jar's wick in the narrow jar "because we already stock it" puts a candle whose bracket you never closed on sale. If one wick truly passes full life in both jars, the ladders will show it, and then you have earned one SKU. Argued against our own interest: one more small pack a month is cheaper than a returned candle.
What to buy for the two-jar ladder, and what to skip
Five items for a two-jar, equal-weight ladder, chosen on page statements, price and stock on 1 October 2026. CSI publishes no wick-performance data, so nothing here is ranked on burn results. Oil candle counts use 16 g per 200 g candle.
1
wick · the shared packs
Eco Candle Wicks — Thin (C1) and Thick (C2)
The two rungs both jars need, in opposite roles. In the narrow jar C1 is our likely centre and C2 the rung expected to fail high; in the wide jar C1 is the low anchor expected to fail low and C2 a likely centre. That overlap is why one C1 20-pack and one C2 10-pack serve both ladders. The page states no length, width or jar range in the text we captured. Stock on 1 October 2026: the C1 10-pack is out of stock; every other pack is in, flat per wick (₹5.90 C1, ₹9.44 C2).
| Pack | Price | Per unit | What it covers here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thin (C1) / 10 | ₹59.00 — Out of stock | ₹5.90 | Out of stock on 1 October 2026 |
| Thin (C1) / 20 | ₹118.00 | ₹5.90 | narrow centre (3) + wide low anchor (3) + a re-pour: 14 left before any re-pour |
| Thin (C1) / 50 · 100 · 500 · 1000 | ₹295.00 · ₹590.00 · ₹2,950.00 · ₹5,900.00 | ₹5.90 | production only, after full life |
| Thick (C2) / 10 | ₹94.40 | ₹9.44 | narrow fail-above (3) + wide centre (3), 4 left |
| Thick (C2) / 20 · 50 · 100 · 500 · 1000 | ₹188.80 · ₹472.00 · ₹944.00 · ₹4,720.00 · ₹9,440.00 | ₹9.44 | production only |
C1 20 + C2 10 = ₹212.40: the whole narrow ladder and two of the wide jar's three rungs. Buy C1 20 — ₹118.00

wick · the honest below-C1 option, untabbed
Eco Candle Wicks Loose (2 inch diameter)
The only CSI wick whose page names a candle size below both jars: "designed specifically for 2 inch diameters" (about 5 cm). That it burns cooler than C1 is our judgement; CSI states no comparison. It is sold by length and, in the text we captured, says nothing about tabs; CSI lists no separate wick-tab pack, and its tabs come with the Braided Wick Roll with 100 wick tabs (₹706.82). Priced at a labelled 10 cm cut (fill depth about 6.85 cm, plus tab and wick above the surface; measure yours), the 5 m gives 50 wicks at ₹8.26 each. Argued against our own interest: do not put it in the first order. Buy it only if C1 runs hot in the 6.5 cm jar.
| Pack | Price | Per unit | What it covers here |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 meters | ₹413.00 | ₹82.60 per m · ₹8.26 per 10 cm wick | 50 lengths at 10 cm: three candles use 3 |
| 10 meters | ₹708.00 | ₹70.80 per m · ₹7.08 per 10 cm wick | 100 lengths: cheaper per metre, production only |
Loose 5 m + the roll for tabs = ₹1,119.82 for a three-candle arm: a real cost, only if needed. Buy 5 m — ₹413.00
3
wick · the wide jar's top rung
Cotton Braided Wicks Ready Made
Only the 8 cm list needs it. The page says "engineered for large-diameter candles exceeding 8 cm", which makes an 8 cm inside diameter its boundary case: in the bracket, not assumed to win. Page dimension: "Height of the wick is 10.16 cm", well clear of a 200 g fill about 4.52 cm deep in the wide jar. In the narrow jar, with a fill about 6.85 cm deep, it is not in the ladder at all.
| Pack | Price | Per unit | What it covers here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | ₹120.00 | ₹12.00 | the wide jar's top rung (3), 7 left |
| Pack of 50 · 100 · 500 · 1000 | ₹600.00 · ₹1,200.00 · ₹6,000.00 · ₹12,000.00 | ₹12.00 | production, if it wins the 8 cm jar |
₹12.00 a wick in every pack: the 10-pack is the wide jar's whole need. Buy 10 — ₹120.00

fragrance oil · spiced gourmand · the worked example's oil
Apple Cinnamon Fragrance Oil
One oil in both jars, so the only variable between the ladders is the width. The listing describes "crisp juicy apple and spicy cinnamon opening into baked goods and nutmeg, settling into vanilla and warm amber" and states "6-10% for soy wax candles, cure 48-72 hours. 6-8% for paraffin wax"; 8% is inside that and inside Chunks' 13%. The description text we captured is otherwise styling code, so we quote nothing else. Price fact: from 50 g to 1 kg it is ₹4.74 a gram at every size, so the 500 g (₹2,371.80) saves nothing per gram over five 100 g bottles: buy to the gram count, in 50 g steps.
| Size | Price | Per gram | 200 g candles at 8% (16 g) |

| 15 g | ₹93.22 | ₹6.21 | none (a sniff sample) |
| 50 g | ₹237.18 | ₹4.74 | 3 |
| 100 g | ₹474.36 | ₹4.74 | 6 |
| 500 g | ₹2,371.80 | ₹4.74 | 31 |
| 1 kg | ₹4,743.60 | ₹4.74 | 62 |

Luxury Soy Wax Chunks for Jar / Container Candles
The page states "up to 13% fragrance load capacity" and, in its FAQ, "a maximum fragrance load of 13% of total wax weight"; 8% of total weight is 8.70% of wax weight, inside 13% on either basis. It gives no pour or add temperature in the text we captured ("Add fragrance at the recommended temperature"), so follow your own wax notes and keep them identical across both ladders. Per gram it is almost flat: two 500 g bags (₹598.00) cost ₹1.00 less than one 1 kg bag. A wick result in Chunks does not transfer to another wax.
| Pack | Price | Per unit | What it covers here |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 g | ₹299.00 | ₹0.60 per g | the half-kilo that makes the re-pour reserve |
| 1 kg | ₹599.00 | ₹0.60 per g | 5 candles at 184 g |
| 5 kg | ₹2,995.00 | ₹0.60 per g | production |
| 10 kg | ₹5,999.00 | ₹0.60 per g | production; about flat per gram at every size |
Both ladders + a re-pour: 3 kg + 500 g = ₹2,096.00, 740 g left. Buy 1 kg — ₹599.00
Skip for these ladders: Performance Wooden Wicks (₹590.00 for 10): one listing with no widths, so it cannot sit in either bracket. Eco Braided Wicks (₹472.00 for 5 m): its page pitches it at "large diameter container jars", the wrong end of the range for the narrow jar and unsized for the wide one. Steel Wick Holder (₹250.00 for 5): only if the wide jar needs a pair.
Diwali is 8 November 2026, 38 days from 1 October 2026. Two ladders poured this week can be screened at burn 3 by mid-October; if the narrow jar needs the Loose arm, that decision should be made then, not in November. Send us both approved wicks and your monthly split: we will quote two wick SKUs and one oil and wax order, with a GST invoice and a dispatch date.

The CSI principle
Equal weight, equal wax bill. Unequal width, unequal wick list.
200 g in 6.5 cm and 200 g in 8 cm need two ladders, which share C1 and C2. One order of ₹332.40 covers both; the untabbed Loose wick waits until the narrow jar asks for it.
"The scale tells you what the candle weighs. The ruler tells you which wick to buy."

Why trust this guide
CandleMakingSuppliesIndia sells the wicks, oil and wax named here, and does not sell finished candles. This page still tells you to share wick packs between jars, that bigger tabbed packs save nothing per wick, that our range has no sized, tabbed wick below C1, that the below-C1 option is untabbed and costly to test, and that we list no container at either width.
Every price was verified on CSI's live store on 1 October 2026. Stock was checked per size: the Eco C1 10-pack is out of stock on that date and flagged wherever it appears; every other size shown is in stock. Wick, oil and wax wording is quoted from the product pages; where a page is silent in the text we captured, we say so.
The centres (C1 for 6.5 cm; C2 or Cotton Braided for 8 cm), the 10 cm cut length, the 0.35 cm wall, the 0.88 wax-to-water rule of thumb, the 5% allowance and the 100 + 100 month are our judgement or worked examples; melt-pool times are commonly cited rules of thumb, not CSI data; CSI publishes no wick-performance data. For bulk pricing, GST invoicing, and MSDS and IFRA documentation on request, message us on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926.
Frequently asked questions
Do two candles with the same weight need the same wick?
Not if the jars differ in width. The wick melts the surface: 200 g in a 6.5 cm jar has 33.18 cm² of pool, in an 8 cm jar 50.27 cm². Each jar needs its own ladder.
What wick should I use for a narrow 6.5 cm jar?
Test Eco C1 as the likely centre and Eco C2 as the rung above, three candles each. If C1 runs hot, CSI's one lower candidate is the untabbed Eco Candle Wicks Loose ("2 inch diameters"), cut to length.
Is there a wick smaller than C1?
Not a sized, tabbed one at CSI. The Eco Candle Wicks Loose is sold by length (₹413.00 for 5 m, ₹8.26 per 10 cm wick) without tabs; tabs come with the Braided Wick Roll (₹706.82). Ask on WhatsApp if you need tabs alone.
Can I use one pack of wicks to test two different jars?
Yes, when the brackets overlap. C1 20 + C2 10 + Cotton Braided 10 (₹332.40) covers a 6.5 cm and an 8 cm ladder, against ₹544.80 as two orders. The price per wick is the same either way.
Why does a narrow candle burn longer than a wide one of the same weight?
Commonly because a smaller pool burns fewer grams an hour and the narrow candle has more wax above its stop line (171 g against 156 g on our rule of thumb). Weigh before and after burn 1 to get your own rate.
How much fragrance oil do I need to test two 200 g jars?
At 8%, 16 g per candle: fifteen candles (six narrow, nine wide) need 240 g. Three 100 g bottles of Apple Cinnamon (₹1,423.08) cover it with 60 g left for a re-pour.
Two jars, one wick order
C1 20 + C2 10 + Cotton Braided 10 = ₹332.40: the 6.5 cm and 8 cm ladders together.
Measure both jars inside, pour six narrow and nine wide candles from one pot, and approve each jar on its own full life. Add the Loose wick only if the narrow C1 runs hot. Send us both diameters on WhatsApp and we will check the order before you pay.

About this guide: part of CSI's cluster on jar diameter → wick testing (5501–5520): two separate wick buy lists for two 200 g candles of different widths (6.5 cm and 8 cm inside), with pool areas declared, the untabbed Loose 2-inch wick as the honest below-C1 option priced per labelled cut length, the shared-pack economics of testing both, the two-jar bill and the production split. Test-hour budgeting for paired jars and the diameter-versus-weight rule are covered elsewhere; we link them.Customer reviews: The six reviews at the top of this page are genuine, published Judge.me reviews left by CSI customers on the product pages named on each card — Apple Cinnamon Fragrance Oil, Eco Candle Wicks, Luxury Soy Wax Chunks for Jar / Container Candles.

Every size listed is in stock on 1 October 2026 except the C1 10-pack. Per unit = price ÷ grams, metres or units, two decimals.
Non-price figures: load is a percentage of total candle weight (200 g at 8% = 16 g oil + 184 g wax). The 6.5 and 8 cm inside diameters, the 0.35 cm wall, the 0.88 wax-to-water ratio (from a commonly used 0.86–0.9 rule of thumb), the ~1 cm stop and the 10 cm cut length are labelled assumptions; pool area = π r² on the inside radius. Ceilings are as the pages state (Chunks up to 13%, "13% of total wax weight" in its FAQ; Apple Cinnamon 6–10% for soy): formulation limits, not regulatory ones. Melt-pool times (about an hour per 2.5 cm) are commonly cited rules of thumb. The centres, the 5% allowance and the 100 + 100 month are editorial judgement and worked examples. Costs exclude jars, labour, freight, packaging and GST. Diwali 8 November 2026 is a calendar fact.
