Trappeur Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm testing double wicking in a country comfort jar. Diameter at widest point: 3 3/4"Testing the 8 oz and 26oz.Wax: GB464No color - just natural I've always used 1 wick but trying to get a more stronger throw so I'm piddling around with some wicks to double wick. The 8oz I've got 2 cd 5's in it. Throw is amazing but too deep a melt pool.I tried 2 cd4's but the wicks were too small.Is there another wick that is in between like maybe an eco? The 26oz I have 2 cd 5's and the wicks are drowning slowly, but the melt pool is good. Does anyone use this jar and might be able to make suggestions? Thanks.

Guest OldGlory Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I don't use your jars, so take this for what it's worth.I have been using Premier wicks in my 464 for quite a few years and I love the way they burn AND the wide array of sizes they offer. I would suggest the 795 and 798. The 798 is for a single pour up to 5" in diameter. I find that I have to wick up just a little with them.

Trappeur Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Thankyou Old Glory. Unfortunately the only premier I have is a bag of the 735. I guess I'll have to order some. Where would you suggest I get them from?So I just single wick and see if that works, right is what you are suggesting? If I were to double wick, what would you suggest in the Premier? Thankyou.

Guest OldGlory Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I have some 798's that I won't use. Might also have some 795's. I also live 30 minutes away from Aztec, a source that I visit a few times a month and can buy more. If you would like to try them I'll send them to you. You can send me your address in a pm.I would suggest trying one wick. Directions say a 798 will work in a jar up to 5 inches. If you have to wick up a bit for 464 as I do, then it should work. And if it doesn't I'd like to know so I can share your results with Aztec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Trappeur, I have an assortment of all the sizes of Premiers...if you would like some, pm me your address and I'll send you 4-5 sizes to try. I know WickIt sends out huge sample packs of the Premiers and you just pay shipping...I paid $5 but it's been awhile. May be worth it to give them a call...866-3WICKIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thankyou so much Old Glory and Imc...... What size jar would the 735 Premier Wick go for? I've tried to find a wick sizing chart for the Premier. Haven't stumbled on the premiers yet... Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Last night I ordered sample packages of their premier like you said you love Old Glory. Thankyou Imc for wickits address. That was so nice for the offers for help in some wicks. I can't wait to get them and I'll try a bigger premier like you suggested. What I did though, since I only had a bag of the 735's and since it was for a small candle, I double wicked to test in the 8oz country comfort jar using toasted marshmallow from R. Escentuals. I will say that this wick is a beautiful very clean burning wick but I did get a melt pool fast and too deep so I guess I would have to get a smaller wick. The marshmallow is starting to smell now...I would compare this size wick to be like the same size as a cd5 as far as how fast it has melted the wax and how deep the pool is. But to me it's a much cooler burning wick than a cd. Is that correct? The jar is not hot what so ever using 2 735's. Now the 2 cd 5's the jar is hot. Today I also tried 2 premier 735 in a 26oz apothecary in Celtic Moonspice. Again a meltpool too fast. The candle has been burning a few hours and I don't get much throw from Celtic Moonspice. So I guess this will be a dud for me in 464 and won't order that scent again. I know others love it and I thought it was a nice scent, but nothing I would rave about or order again...
