I'm in the same dabbler boat as you, have been making candles for personal use for about a year, but as an ADD person with lots of children and pets running around, I am more of a mad scientist type tester than a precise historian. With the 8 oz tins, does the ECO 14 not burn too high, and then too hot at the end? I find that I keep having to wick down from recommendations regardless of container (I also use large salsa jars from CS). There may be an FO component to that issue, although I do measure carefully and stay in the 8-10% range. I'm actually testing a CS 8 oz tin with GB464 and an ECO 8 right now. It's definitely seeming underwicked 2 hours in, but the hot throw is absolutely delicious. It's a CS Hansel and Gretel and NG Eggnog hybrid, with a little something else I can't recall thrown in. (See: mad scientist.) I've given a couple away but only after careful testing. And then I don't pour for a month or two and lose the notes, so I start all over again...
