Saw a post on here a week or so ago about this and was too curious not to buy some First of all, it came like 2 days early, fuckin awesome. Even better, dude sent some free wick and a lighter! So, 5 bucks (that's WITH shipping) got me roughly 75 feet of wick and a fresh bic. Already lovin these guys. Now, I've never used bee-line so I can;t compare the two. However, I have some i-tal and some other brand that I can't remember. I got the fine wick from Humboldt and it's like half the size of both the others. And much more saturated with wax. I was worried that the flame would be lacking but it is fine. Best part, you can hardly taste the stuff. It's fantastic. No harshness, limited residue, overall just a great product. I found my new wick source
