I will try both those sizes as soon as they arrive. Is this a problem? Other then the esthetic looks of it? ( the flecks )

I let the 34 burn for over over 7 hrs to see if it would eventually reach the edges, it didn't, and the 29 x2 wick I burn 4 hrs at a time, no popping st all the flames are still and calm, I can touch and move the jar below the wax line. Above it gets hot. I am shocked after all my testing these wicks didn't leave soot. I'll post a picture of the jar

The double wick rrd 29 burns great, the smallest amount of soot deposited on the top edge of one side barely even noticeable. I am pleased with this but I do notice a small amount of black specks in the wax just on the top layer, nowww what is this from?! Thank for all the tips!

So rrd 34 single wicked does not melt all the way to the edges so I'll try the rrd 40. Double wick rrd29 is burning beautifully with awesome scent throw, but we have not reached the second half yet so fingers crossed. If I was to add a wax hardener will that put me back at square one for my testing? Aswell is that recommended to prevent the soot problem if the wax is harder? Thanks so much so helpful!

Thanks! that's my main problem is the second half of the candle burning so hot it's leaving the black soot and it's driving me crazy trying to solve the problem. Would a single wick rrd 34 be appropriate for my 3.5 " jar?

I Ann trying a single wick eco 6 tonight then my rrd 34 wicks are in tomorrow, I will try a double wick of that. If I still have soot problems for both of those would a double wick rrd 29 be okay?

Thanks for all the information😊 I ordered rrd 34 and will try a double wick, any experience with that? I will post my updates as soon as I have them. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply! I'm surprised because the company advised me to use 2x eco 6 or 8 when I contacted them with my issue. I tried a eco 10 ( which I now know is to big lol) and that left soot aswell. I'm really hopeong to find the perfect recipe for a double wick I love the look it has. I will order the rrd wicks today to try too. Any chance you think it is also the wax from NorthWood? I used the coconut wax from Swancandles, it was much harder to work with, har sink holes and allways needed a second pour but it burned great with next to no soot on the jars with 2 x CD 8. ( burned much to fast I now know why). I am also set on using organic materials otherwise I would have switched back so long ago.

Aswell, is rrd 34 wick the same as eco? What has worked the best for you with your candles? I'm also making a larger candle about 4"

Thank you! What are your thoughts on the hot throw with the smaller wicks with coconut wax? So far hot and cold throw has been amazing. I will order some eco 2 tomorrow and try them out. Would adding more FO contribute to soot ? I don't want to loose the hot throw going down wick sizes.

I am working with Northwoods organic coconut wax, I really want to keep my candles double wicked. my jars are 3.5 " I have tried eco 6 eco 8 eco 10 all doubled wicked and leave soot swell cd 5-8 I have used all double wicked and leave soot. they smoke black a small amount while burning swell. I use 1 oz FO to 1 lb wax please any tips or advise would be so nice! I'm getting very discouraged because no one wants to buy a candle that is all black for half its life!
