  1. Thanks! I've tried 6% and the scent throw wasn't strong at all. I find 8% works great just wondered if the fragrance had to be reduced when making batches. Thanks!
  2. Hi there I'm testing C3 wax with 8% f/o. I've been told that when testing a single candle for throw 8% is adequate. But for batches the scent needs to be reduced to 6%. Has anyone else heard of this? Is this right?
  3. I had a look and your candle looks great @oldglory. Lovely neat flame too. Great to hear that your throw is good too. I've been using oils from Natures Garden at 8% and the throw is great which I'm pleased about. I just need to rectify the flickering/tall flame by wicking down.
  4. Aztec do customised scents/blends. That's good to know. Blackberry Sage sounds amazing!
  5. It's really frustrating. I've tried quite a few of the wicks that you can get over here but I do love the way the premiers perform. I just have to order in bulk. Do you get a good scent throw when you use yours? And not a flickering/large flame? Thanks for the advice... I feel like I'm back on track now.
  6. Hi Old Glory - thanks for your response. I don't use any dyes just f/o. Thanks for the advice. I'll try wicking down. I'm really happy with the scent throw but not the flickering/high flame. I live in the UK so normally wait until i have to order a batch but did get my last lot of wicks from Aztec. Thanks for the tip on the sale... Worth knowing!
  7. Thanks lmc. I remembered after I posted that you also use these sucks!
  8. Thanks guys. Yes I was thinking @oldglory would know the answer. Hopefully she'll see this and in the meantime I'll try wicking down.
  9. Hi folks I'm testing premier wicks 793 in 3 inch tumblers. Does anyone else find that the flame is quite large and they flicker quite a bit? The scent throw is great but the above is troubling me. I'm using 8% f/o. Would you recommend I test 790? Just don't want to loose the scent throw. Thanks!
  10. lmc thanks! I've read most of the posts on C3 thanks to this forum but I'm still struggling to achieve a strong hot scent throw. I'll try the70/30 ratio. Thanks. Did you notice a stronger throw in your tests?
  11. Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out. Haha that is funny. Yes it's supposed to say PARASOY! :0)
  12. Hi guys Has anyone ever mixed Natures Garden C3 wax with a paraffin wax (to make a parasoy blend)? If so what were your thoughts on scent throw? Much stronger? I'm considering mixing C3 with paraffin to achieve this. Any advice on ratios would be great!
