INTRODUCING OPENWICK™ TECHNOLOGY

Our patented OpenWick Technology was born out of a passion for innovation and a desire for a better burning and better smelling candle.

 

 

 

Inside every Cue candle is years’ worth of wick engineering and fragrance development.

We noticed the issues with traditional candles – lingering smoke, black soot and unattractive, high-maintenance wicks (it’s time to ditch the wick trimmers!). To fix these issues, we created OpenWick™ Technology featured in the core of every candle.

OPENWICK FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Cue Candles

Traditional Candles

RELAXING FLAME

The perfect ambiance is created as our OpenWick unfolds, displaying a calm and relaxing flame.

SPORADIC FLAME

Traditional wicks can produce a flame that becomes sporadic or too tall.



FASTER SCENT DELIVERY

OpenWick creates a faster edge-to-edge pool of wax, leaving minimal residual wax on the jar and throwing scent faster than traditional candles.

SLOWER SCENT DELIVERY

Traditional candles can take longer to create a liquid pool of wax, delaying the release of scent and creating a tunneling effect, leaving unused wax in the candle.



LASTING FRAGRANCE

Your Cue candle will leave a pleasant scent in your home after being extingusihed.

 

LINGERING SMOKE

The average candle produces lingering smoke after it has been extinguished, completely erasing your scent from the air.



LOW MAINTENANCE WICK

Our OpenWick is self-trimming, so you won't waste time maintaining your candle. Your environment can affect flame heights. Throught the burn, if the flame height exceeds 11/2" (38mm), trim wick to 1/4" (6.3mm) to reduce sooting.

HIGH MAINTENANCE WICK

Without frequent trimming, traditional candle wicks can produce black soot. This soot can be found on not only your candle jar but in the air and on the walls of your home.

 



QUALITY INGREDIENTS

Our fragrances are carefully crafted by leading fragrance experts, using only quality ingredients for your home.

COST SAVING INGREDIENTS

To save on costs, many candle companies use less or low-quality fragrances.
