Direct Candle Supply Coconut Soy Wax Blend for Candle Making, 10 lb. Plus 50 5-Inch Pre-Waxed Wicks Review (2026)

Who this wax and wick bundle fits

Direct Candle Supply packages this as a 10 pound coconut soy wax blend for candle making with 50 five inch pre waxed wicks included, aimed at container candle makers who want wax and wicks in one order rather than sourcing them separately. It suits makers pouring standard jar candles in the roughly 2.5 to 3 inch diameter range the included wicks are sized for, whether that is a hobbyist scaling up or a small business filling a batch of matching jars. It is less useful if your containers fall well outside that width range, since you would need to buy a different wick size anyway and the bundled wicks would go unused or need to be resized.

What coconut soy blend wax brings to a pour

The wax blend combines coconut wax, soy wax, and a small amount of paraffin, a combination chosen for a smooth, creamy top and strong fragrance retention rather than the fully natural label a pure soy wax carries. It is marketed as designed for high fragrance oil loads, which suits makers who want a strong cold and hot scent throw in their finished candles. Recommended melting is done in a pitcher pot or double boiler with a pour temperature around 160 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, and the maker recommends letting poured candles cure for about a week before burning to get the best cold and hot throw results, which is a longer cure window than some straight soy waxes call for.

Using the included wicks and finishing the pour

The 50 included wicks are five inch, pre waxed, and sized to work well in containers roughly 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter, which covers a lot of common jar sizes but is still a single size, so wider or narrower vessels will need a different wick to burn correctly. Pre waxed wicks save a step versus dipping raw cotton wicking yourself, and having 50 on hand means you likely will not run out mid batch even on a larger pour day. As with most soy and coconut soy blends, expect some frosting or a slightly uneven top to be normal rather than a defect, and plan your cure time around the supplier's week long recommendation rather than rushing a burn test.

How it stacks up against other container wax blends

Against a harmony style single pour container wax sold in a 22.5 pound box, this coconut soy blend is a smaller, more entry friendly quantity that also throws in wicks, which is convenient if you are not ready to commit to a larger box. Compared with a straight soy and paraffin blend sold as a bare 10 pound slab, this listing's bundled wicks add real value if your containers match the included size, though you pay for wax and wicks together rather than sourcing each separately at potentially lower cost. Against a coconut and paraffin blend with a lower melt point, this soy leaning blend tends to be a bit firmer and more forgiving for first time container pourers.

Verdict and who should look elsewhere

Choose this bundle if your containers fall in the roughly 2.5 to 3 inch diameter range and you want wax and a reasonable wick supply in a single order, especially if you are newer to container candles and want fewer separate purchasing decisions to make. It rewards patience with a week long cure for the best scent throw. Look elsewhere if your jars are noticeably wider or narrower than the included wick size, if you want a fully natural soy only wax without any paraffin content, or if you would rather choose your own wick brand and size independently rather than take what is bundled.
