I make candles as a hobby so I don't do large batches. I pour my melted wax from the presto pot into large juice cans (you can add enough melted wax to make 3 pint size jars), then I mix in the oil and let it cool until ready to pour. I have a can for every scent I use so that I don't have to worry about mixing scents or cleaning out the pouring vessel each time. I use soy, never add color, melt to 170, stir in FO at that temp and cool to around 100-125 before pouring. Hope this helps.
