How do you use the wicks that come with the kit? Do you jus add adhesive and stick them in the cans and jars?

I didn't use anything for the tea lights, but for the rest I used 3 popsicle sticks to hold the wicks in the center and it worked really well. I didn't use any glue, if you pour the wax slow the wicks should stay in place then hold them in place with the sticks.

I used this wick for pure beeswax candles poured into 4oz quilted mason jars (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4418846&KPID=957278&kpid=957278&pla=pla_957278). They burn just fine. Just make sure that they are secured upright in place while the candle cools a bit, otherwise the wick flops over.

These work very well for me. Simply take the cover off, leave the paper on the canister, and place in the humid area. After a while, you should see water in the canister and eventually the granules soak up all the liquid and become solid-like.

Easy! Just lift the main unit off the base and the base unit is exposed for easy cleaning. Just lift the cage out off the base that contains the wick and go for it. The instructions recommend weekly cleaning and sterilizing. Two of the 3 units I have purchased this season have reached 750 hours of operation when "CF" check filter) appears on the readout. I opened both units and determined that there was no reason to do a deep cleaning at that time. I add a few caps full of bacteriostat to every other filling to keep mold and mildew out of the unit. If you have hard water, the wicks will harden with mineral deposits quickly and will need to be replaced. I have hard water and have not yet felt it necessary to replace these wicks. They are fairly cheap at around $13 each (1 per unit). I am hoping to get a full season out a wick. Hope this helps.

the assembly that holds the sparking wheel and wick pulls straight out (although I usually twist it out - it's NOT threaded). The lighter fluid is then applied by holding this assembly upside-down and putting the fluid on the felt (or whatever that white wicking material is).

Either an additive like http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CA66WAO/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1392517700&sr;=8-6π=SL75 or perhaps your wick needs adjusted? I read on some of the reviews that sometimes the unit comes with a maladjusted wick or bum wick. Also, have you performed a dry burn soon after the first tank of Kero? Any and all of these things may reduce smell. My unit really only smells on shutdown.

They are not attached there is a piece of wire that goes through the wick, make sure you put it on top of the wire toward the lantern so it does not fall off

I'm sorry no I actually can't help you with this. I use the colored sticks and just match them to the jar.

Slide them into place and let them dry. they will still fall off if you mess with them. I am considering using a dab of glue .

I re-use the metal canisters from Natural Flame, the oblong ones. (says "do not reuse" but that's so you will buy new ones.)

The kit comes with adhesive that goes around the border. All you do is heat it up and it sticks. Perfect!

I assume you are using the igniters that came with the kit. They must be bent and inserted into the nozzle then a lithe tape or the circle that comes with them to hold it in place. The igniter should not be touching. Bend it in half with the two ends protruding out of the nozzle where you will hook up your battery. I used my car battery but it was probably overkill. If the wire is not shorted it should burn igniting the fuel. Note that there other kinds of igniters on the market and some are easier to use.

You get a total of three wicks. I do not know how long they last. After three months I am still using the first one.

yes! just soak the cord under the wick holder well and let it soak up through the wick holder...it takes awhile as the ceramic holder is very tight on the wick (and also makes it hard to pull more wick up as it burns down and trim.) Once it absorbs the liquid it burns great. Do remember not to burn citronella indoors.

This unit does come with a wick. The unit performs very well as long as you perform a dry burn after each 2 to 3 fillings of the fuel tank.

They send u a photo copy booklet for tips and ideas. You silicone to a baby pot if you like to I have then in cute $ store candle vases. I spritz them so you won't wAnt to glue to wood.

My understanding is that when you burn oils you just need something that will wick -- it doesn't take much. I've heard of folks pulling strings out of new mop-heads and using those for example. I lately read about a guy who used various food oils (eg olive), drew a string of some sort through a wine cork, and separated the cork from the lit end of the string with some aluminum foil. I don't have experience doing this myself, but from what I've read it sounds that it should work.
