THE ETERNAL WICK (Fiberglass)

Cotton wicks burn away. KROMA Fiberglass Wicks are engineered to last.
Made from woven glass fibers, they don’t consume themselves; they simply transport the oil to the flame via superior capillarity. This means you never have to trim a burnt end or replace them under normal use. Designed for a consistent, clean, and smokeless burn every time.

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR OIL LAMP WICK ?

  1. Remove the burner/wick holder, then pull out the old wick.
  2. Insert the new wick (Ø 4 mm) into the holder, then cut if necessary so it reaches the bottom of the reservoir.
  3. Adjust the height: the wick should only protrude by a few millimeters (ideally 1–2 mm).
  4. Fill the reservoir. For the first fill, wait until the wick is fully soaked with oil before lighting.
  5. Light and adjust if needed: if black smoke appears, slightly lower the wick (it is protruding too much).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes, if your lamp accepts a round wick of Ø 4 mm, which corresponds to a very common format. The 20 cm length can be cut to fit the height of your reservoir.

This is almost always a setting issue: the wick is protruding too much.
Extinguish the flame, let it cool down, lower the wick (a few millimeters max), then relight.

No, in most cases, this is a deposit due to a flame that was too high (wick too exposed), not a “worn-out” wick.
Extinguish, let cool, then lower the wick so it only protrudes a few millimeters; if necessary, trim 1–2 mm off the tip.

 No. Prefer a pure/odorless paraffin oil to keep a clean combustion and limit deposits. Scented oils (and especially essential oils) can clog the wick more and degrade flame quality.

Generally, the cotton wick is a consumable: it eventually blackens and wears out, requiring more frequent replacements, especially if the flame is too high. The fiberglass wick is made to last: its role is to transport oil by capillary action, and with proper adjustment, it does not “burn away” like cotton.
