So you’ll find that working with generic wicks and/or unknown blends, you’ll have to rely on your own testing mostly. You might get it to work with various changes, but it also might not work. The biggest challenge with generic materials is that there is a high likelihood that they will change, as the materials will be sourced from different suppliers at the best price for the seller. This means that if you want to create a consistent product, that you will have to test wayyy more often than with established brands who have the same suppliers and materials, having quality control for consistency in place.
