For those who don't drop.
The Quick Wick Pro uses a super rigid 1x7 cable spine for a much sturdier feel. The drawback? ..a certain amount of decreased shock-absorption. What does this mean? A greater chance of bending or damaging the clamp when dropped. Is the risk worth it? YES.
The wicks heads are also smaller than those on standard Quick Wicks making these ultra-light. This reduction in weight & size also means some reduction in fuel capacity, flame size and burn time. Burn time depends on type of fuel used, flow speed, and other variables. Contact us if you have any questions!
(measured by the Outside Diameter of your tubing)
If you are unsure of the Outside Diameter of your tubing (not hoop OD), please measure it. It is important to get the correct size Quick Wick®.
A clamp meant for larger tubing *can* be clamped down onto thinner tubing, but the "tail" from the belt of the clamp will stick out further and can snag on your clothing or scratch you.
The increments are very small so precision counts. If you can't measure the Diameter of your tubing, but have measuring tape (or a piece of string), you can measure the circumference..
5/8" Diameter = 1.96" Circumference
3/4" Diameter = 2.35" Circumference
7/8" Diameter = 2.75" Circumference
1.1" Diameter = 3.45" Circumference
2.2" Diameter = 6.91" Circumference
3.3" Diameter = 10.36" Circumference
