I ran across this topic and want to ask a follow up question....
I agree the throw will be different between the votive and the real candle but I think AZSunset is trying to find a way to determine the right amount of FO for the wax.
I would expect that if, for example, 3 votives were created 1 at 6% load, 1 at 8% and 1 at 10% the "order" of HT intensity would be the same between the votive and the candle. In other words if the the 8% HT was better than the 10% HT in the votive that this would hold true on the candle as well.
I think AZSunset is just trying to eliminate making full candles to test the best FO load.

Is this safe to say?
