  1. It's ok I think I worked it out , so it's 75% c3 and 25% pb , I think x
  2. Hi shicks, Thank you so much for sharing your blend I'm back to testing the c3 again , I tested it for a few months but gave up on it as I couldn't get it wicked correctly . However today I have made up some c3 candles as I do love the look of soy candles . I'm in the UK and I work in grams and percentages , I wonder if you would know what percent your blend is ? I would love to have a go at experimenting thanks for your time x
  3. I live in the UK and I can only get the NGi waxes or the c3 wax , we can't get golden brands here which is a shame as I read so many good reviews about them on here .
  4. Hi, I tested excel for a few months a while back and i found that cd wicks worked best in it . I had a few problems with it , first it did sweat with some fragrances , I made up candles with excel and c3 to test side by side and the candles that was made with excel would sweat , not in all fragrances but some whereas the c3 never sweated at all. Also when I got all my testing completed and ordered another big batch of the excel it didn't behave anything like the previous batch , my previous wicks didn't work anymore and some of my candles appeared to have a scrambled egg appearance on top this was using the same oil and methods I had previously used with success. I did get good ht with my candles , i found the ct wasn't as good as c3 though . After the second batch I decided not to continue as I didn't want to use a wax that was that inconsistent . Hope this helps .
  5. Thank you Trappeur, I really hope I get lucky as well, I have been testing on and off for 3 years and I feel so embarrassed that I do not have a candle yet lol. The only wax I had been able to wick correctly was the xcel but I don't want to continue using that. Do you notice any big differences between the batches of c3?
  6. Thank you for your help I'm going to make up 2 candles with 6% fragrance with a htp 83 and 93 , I will post pics of that's ok when they are burning , thank you I have tried these wicks before but it would have been with 8% fragrance so perhaps that makes a difference.
  7. Thank you do you get mushrooming with the htp wicks and Do you recommend to stick with 6% fragrance ?
  8. Haha boring jars is what I have posted above , we can only get standard jam jars here they all look like this just either bigger diameter and taller. We can get status jars but they are so expensive we are talking about $9 for a status jar. We can not get the mason or ball jars here . I love the jars you have with them lids
  9. Thank you for your reply The other jar was the next size up to this so it is 2.6 inches wide and taller. I don't think I went upto a 104 though , the wicks all died or of mushroomed bad. Do you trim your wicks? And if you don't mind me asking what percent of fragrance do you use? Thank you
  10. I haven't tried the htp in these jars , I have only tried them in my larger jars and I couldn't get any to work great but that's probably me
  11. Wow your candles are beautiful are those candles made with c3 wax? The colours are lovely . We can not get jars like that here in the UK , our jars are boring lol. Thank you I will try the 105 htp
  12. Oh and forgot to say these normally take 63 grams of wax
  13. I think I have attached a pic of the jar , hope it comes out ok
