1) Wicks you would normally use in soy (uh no)   OR

2) Sorry, we cannot recommend wicks at this time.

 

That's very similar to the response I just got from a supplier.  Someone needs to make some wicks for this wax...they'd be an instant millionaire!  Grrrrrrr

Why not use Global Wax 444 or 464?  I totally understand wanting to explore the benefits of a newly formulated soy wax, but just wondering about the GWs.

 

Thanks!

I tried using 464 when EcoSoya discontinued.  I had terrible frosting on my candles and caves like you wouldn't believe.  I ended up having to heat the tops of every candle with my heat gun to get them to look decent.  That's not a problem when you're making 5 candles but when you're making 100 it's super time consuming.  I really wish I had had better results.  464 also didn't seem to have as good of a scent throw.

Anyone else been testing this new wax out? 

Wicking has been VERY challenging! Most wick types simply don' work (not hot enough I guess).

So I have had mild luck so far with ECO and RRD. But both I have had to wick up SIGNIFICANTLY. Too much in my opinion.

Anyone else have any results to post yet?

 

I was accustomed to ECOs curling fantasically in CB Advanced. However, it just sits on this wax like a little squatty nub. Lol, sorry no idea

how to describe it. 

I have done several test candles in various sizes and I'm having the exact same problem with my wick (and my candles have a pink or amber hint to them.)  It's almost as if even a tiny 8oz candle is going to require 2 wicks!  What?!?!?  I thought about "braiding" two wicks together and seeing if that would help but then I'm afraid the candle will burn too quickly.  I'd love to know if anyone has found a wick that doesn't fizzle out.

I'm not sure what to do.  I have orders that need to be fulfilled.  I was so excited about this wax finally being available and it seems as though it is just bringing another mountain of challenges.
