Will these wicks give off a black soot when lit?

My experience is that all candles generate some soot (my electrostatic air cleaner concurs). These wicks do not generate visible soot when burning; assuming you keep them trimmed to the proper length (~1/4"). They do smoke when you blow the candle out. Since I used them in container candles, I just put the lid on when I blow them out.

yes...these are throw away lighters...they are already filled...they also last a pretty long time...I order the larger bics...

I'm going to disagree with most of these answers. Yes, it will get soot on your stuff. The temperature probe gets sooty and is hard to clean. This probe sticks out of the protective bag if not placed perfectly. It is not a filthy mess, but does get soot on stuff.

I haven't tried that but I don't know why they wouldn't. They are like a regular light bulb in every sense. Unless you mind the flame pointing down which it does not seem like you would. Just remember they put off no real light, they are for decorative purposes and produce a beautiful glow. I love them and would try it for sure.

Sound like ignitor is not creating any spark for the butane to light. I would consider returning it.

Just be very careful. There is a design flaw in the black pipe. My saw collected a bunch of sawdust there that started smoldering - almost caught fire. We removed it and don't use dust collection any more. The flaw in the pipe is that it has a "pinch point" a couple of inches from its intake side. That sometimes causes sawdust to get stuck.

No burning smell but mine buzz loudly and only work with the dimmer fully up or fully down I would not reccomend them.

Yes you can use these on a charcoal gril, you I waited until the flames went down, but there not supposed to burn.

yes, like most wick source flames, we can pull out more for a larger flame and pull it down for a smaller flame. the fuel you use will also affect the size of the flame. we are now using/making our own alcohol based fuel to reduce the amount of black smoke (which was quite a bit with 8 torches going in our yard); the alcohol flame is less robust than when using Tiki fuel, but we just made the wick longer and it was fine. our smog problem is pretty much gone now too.

Yes the diffusers do get pretty warm. Not warm enough to start anything on fire but I keep stuff away from them like curtains just to be safe. I do have other plugs plugged into the outlet above the diffusers and there will be a oily residue which is normal but no damage or anything to the cord.

If by centerers you mean the circle that helps them stand up then yes, they do. They also have some sort of metal wire in the middle of the wick, which give the candles an odd smell and makes the wicks VERY smokey.

Yes. They work just like normal blacklights. Depending on the color of your pipes/fluid yes, the lights could make them glow.

All I know is that when I plugged my diffusers in that after they warmed up all they did was start to leak. I know I won't buy these again. I've tried 6 different diffusers and they all leaked. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Can't say that I noticed if the wick was wet or not.

You need to put them on fire for awhile. But, i have also light them on with the stove on my electric kitchen. Also I believe that you can light them with a candle, but it will take more time. The only trick is to keep them on fire for so long till the coal is totally red and on fire. Then you will have nice hit for your hookah for almost 2 hours. I will definitely buy them again.

depends on the bulbs. heat lamp black lights will melt it. im using compact florescents that dont produce much heat. i would side on caution and say it would melt it

I wouldn't say they smell "nice" but it is not a bad smell. The smoke they give off is not black - it is gray.

Couldn't tell you, as soon as I turned them on they burned up, they literally started smoking.
