ok thanks, so I'll test with some different wicks, & maybe I haven't been stirring for long enough which is making all the FO pool to the bottom, & poke relief holes... It really is a science to this thing huh LOL

I've ordered my very first FOs from CS, and this last batch I ordered was from TheCommonScents

no water, I made sure to keep all equipment dry... just wondering if I'm using too much FO to try to get the HT I want?

The soy wax wasn't giving a good hot throw at all that's why I switched to the 4627 comfort blend... After so much reading I see it's a hassle to wick, but when I initially read the reviews on the comfort blend it got great reviews for the HT abilities so that's why I ordered it, but I'm still not getting the HT I'm looking for, I've done tons of reading but can"t figure out what I'm doing wrong.... Again, thanks for replying!!!!

OK any suggestions for other wicks I should try? Thank you guys so much!

I have used 6%, 8%, & 10% FO pp., I have been pouring between 175-185, I've used lx 14, & 16 in the 4oz tins, lx 20 in the 8oz tins, lx 18 in the 8oz straight side jars... first set of testers i let cure for about 24hrs, second set i let cure for about 3 days before lighting... Didn't poke any relief holes.. how do I do that?

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and also new to candle making... I started experimenting with 464 soy about 2 years ago, but stopped and have since started up again. idk if i had beginners luck or what but my 8oz tins that i used with the soy were fantastic... Great looking candles, great cold throw, good melt pool, nice flames but horrible hot throw, which led me to change waxes this time because i'm after an amazing hot throw... switched to 4627! I'm testing in 4oz tins, 8oz tins, & 8oz straight side jars... I/m using lx wicks, and have tested with & without dye, 6%, 8% & 10% FO... idk what I'm doing wrong, not getting a good scent throw at all!!! and the last couple of candles I made the oil is pooling to the bottom of the candles , with horrible bubble! I've tried different heating & pouring temps but just not getting a good throw, after some burning my melt pools extend to the edge, little flickering and little mushrooming, idk if i have candle nose or not but when I ask my son does he smell them he says he smells a little of the scent and a little of a "smoke scent" please help!!!!
