Do you remember if you tried square wicks?

I'm in Canada too - I had trouble finding jars and lids I liked. Where do you get your jars/lids from? I bought wax and fragrance at New Directions and dye, wick and jars from Village Candle. Need to find another supplier for wicks so looking around for that, might try Wicks and Wax in Vancouver. Ever tried buying from Ali Baba?

Thanks for the advice. I thought, from what I had read in my research the Q210 was a wax anyone could work with! It's adhering well to my jar, the scent throw isn't bad - it's 'just' the wick - ha ha! I'll see if I can persist until I've used up the wax and see what happens.

Thanks! Can you tell me which wax you transitioned to instead?

Hi all, Did everyone give up on the Q210? I am new to candle making and thought this would be a good wax to start with given what I'd read (maybe they were paid to give good reviews!!). I experienced slight dips in my wax (room temp jars in test 1, warmed jars in test 2). I have HTP wicks, 16oz apothecary jars. Have tried triple wick, double wick and single wick, varying sizes. Do you think triple wicking is advanced? Are apothecary jars difficult to work with due to their shape? I thought if I tried another wick I'd get rid of all the smoking on extinguishing, but I guess not. That's disheartening! My triple wick test seemed to burn too fast, and the flame was flickering, so I'm planning on reducing size. So, back to my first question, did everyone give up on Eco Q210? (I can read up on triple wicking, apothecary jars, sinking in other places here!). I don't want to waste fragrance if it's a lost cause! Thanks!
