There are a number of properties that a wick should have. A wick should burn but very slowly for example.
No.
The main parts of an alcohol lamp include a metal base, a wick holder, a wick, and a glass reservoir for the alcohol fuel. The wick is inserted into the wick holder and extends down into the alcohol reservoir, where it absorbs the fuel to be burned.
Heat wax up so it just about melts (a metal bowl floating in a pan of simmering water is good for this - like chocolate). Put some lengths of string (NON-PLASTIC) into the melted wax and leave for about half an hour. The string should absorb the wax, creating your wick.
it could be either convection or radiation that can light a candle wick with a match.The match stick does not retain enough heat by itself to light a wick by conduction. The burning match though gives off enough heat to incandesce the air around the match into a flame. By contact of this convective hot gas (flame) with the wick the temperature of the candle wax can be raised to the ignition temperature. By holding the match close to the wick, without the flame contacting it, the radiant heat from the flame can vaporize and ignite the wax as well. The closer the flame to the wick the more radiant heat can be transferred.
To fix the wick in a Zippo lighter, you will need to first empty the fuel from the lighter. Then, use a small pair of tweezers to pull the old wick out from the bottom, trim it using scissors, and insert a new one. Be sure to adjust the wick to the desired length before refueling the lighter.
The size of the wick isn't just down to the candle, it's also the manufacturing company that decides how big a wick should be.
The burnt part of a candle wick is called a "wick trim" or a "candle snuffer." It is the charred portion of the wick that remains after the candle has been burned. It should be trimmed before each use to ensure a clean and efficient burn.

The wax itself should be, but the flame is not. The wick is not either.
