Shares & Saves. Save. Candle wicks are generally made out of cotton that has been chemically treated to make it burn more slowly than if it were left untreated. Some wicks contain other materials at their cores to make the wicks either burn cooler or to make the wick more rigid.
In general, you would want to use the cored wicks for votives and container type candles and even some pillars. Use cotton and zinc cores for containers using low melt point waxes; hemp cores for vegetable based waxes; paper and zinc cores for votives and pillars with medium to high melt point waxes.
