What moves the price
For cotton wick, the drivers are fiber purity, heat resistance, pack size, pre-formed vs loose, organic certification, nicotine strength, pouch count, flavor — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
For cotton wick, the biggest price drivers are form factor (loose fiber versus pre-formed wick), coating or heat-treatment, packaging, and whether the order is branded/custom printed or plain bulk. US-facing wholesale candle suppliers tend to publish small-bulk pricing, while the lowest unit costs come from factory-direct import listings on China marketplaces or India wholesale listings; those often require larger MOQs and have wide quality variation. Organic certification, fiber purity, and any -safe specification can raise cost substantially versus generic candle wick product
