From my understanding the reason why there are those who say the Chanuka lights are ????? ?????? even after the mitzva is over is specifically because during the mitzva one may not derive ???? from them, and therefore in the person’s mind he put that oil away for a mitzva so now he can’t use it for something else. However with Shabbos candles that ???? doesn’t apply, because they are made to have ???? from, during the time of the mitzva.

Unless I’m mistaken, we’re not discussing having further benefit from the wicks… we’re discussing the proper way to dispose of them once they’ve served their purpose for the mitzvah. In that, I’m not certain that there is a difference between whether they are “huksha l’mitzvosom” or not or whether the wicks are “assur b’hana’ah” or not.

There’s no hana’ah in disposing of wicks from Channukah or Shabbos lights. The only question (as I understand it) is regarding the proper way to dispose of something that was used for a mitzvah.

Or am I entirely misreading this conversation?
