What size container is it? How much wax did you use to fill the container? 20 drops of any EO is not a lot and for candles you typically need more compared to using FOs.

It's a 3.25x4inch container, I filled just below the rim. 

would you recommend FO over EO?

So sorry, forgot to answer a couple if your questions. 

It's natural soy 444

The wick is natural cotton

And the oil I'm using is Natrogix Bliss

Thank you so much.

I'm using soy wax.

Container us aprx 3.25x4inches

Glass material and

Lantern shape.

What temperature is reccomeded to add oil? Does it have to sit and cool for a certain time or is it poured immediately after the oil is put in? 

So much I still don't know, even after researching!

Hello, I'm very new to making candles so any information you'd like to share is helpful.

I made a few different candles this weekend, but I'll just list one to stay on track.

I added 20 drops of Eucalyptus and 20 drops of Lavender.  I added the oils at aprx. 124 degrees, poured into my container, and let sit for 3 days before lighting.  When I smell it while it's lit, all I get is a nose full of hot air from the flame. What am I doing wrong?
