Peak's cotton core wicks

I just got a sample set of these and would like to try them in a pillar. What size would you use for a 3" ecosoya pb pillar?

I don't make soy pillar but just from my experience with that cotton cored wick if it was me I would start with the 75c.

I don't know if you can cross reference somehow or if this info will even help, but when I tried regular cotton-cored wicks in soy pillars (KY soy pillar w/ 6% FO) the 51-32-18C burned too hot and the 44-28-18C too cool. I also have some 44-32-18c's which I was told are a bit cooler than the 51s but I haven't tried those (yet) because I'm currently trying square braids.

Thanks to you both. I'll start with the 75c for the mid range, then one up, and one down. That's usually how I do it. We'll see how it works.

Janis, do you have an update on this? I just got some eco pillar blend and now have those peak wicks so would be curious.
TIA
