Abstract
The present invention is a new improved wick which is manufactured so as to allow the wick to burn for a longer period of time than existing wicking material. The wick is capable of being moved around the surface of a candle to maximize the life of the candle by burning all of the candle's wax instead of permitting the candle to burn only in the area immediately surrounding the wick as in the case with most conventional wicks. The wick comprises a single strand of tufted wire coil having a polyethylene and wax coating. One end of the coil is turned upward into a vertical section to compose the lighting element and the other end of the wire is wound into a circular base such that it touches the base of the vertical section.
