I have been using Ribbon wicks from NorthWood along with their soy wax for years and now the ribbon wicks are discontinued.... I love their soy wax, but it is very expensive. So now I’m left looking for a new soy wax and wick combination that gives a great HT like the ribbon wicks gave. Any suggestions that work great together?!

Hello, so I have been using soy wax and Ribbon wicks from NorthWood for years, and now the ribbon wicks are discontinued. I love the soy wax from NorthWood, but it’s so expensive. And now I need to find a good wick that gives a great HT. I would love any great soy wax and wick combos that work great for 16oz mason jars!!!! thank you!!!

To harden the wax a bit so it doesn’t burn so fast. I use a great soy wax From NorthWood

I have been reading online and have come across VERY different recommendations as to how much Stearic acid to add per pound of soy wax. I’m worried about trapping the scent by adding too much. Thanks!!

Thanks all! I will give Eco wicks a try!

I have tried Ecosoya 210 with Eco wicks which was bad, Ecosoya 210 with LX 18 wicks ( worked good for some, not so good for others, depending on FO I suppose), and I have tried C3 wax with HTP 1212, HTP 104, and I just made some today with HTP 93. The last ones I made with the 104’s had a lot of soot, so I’m going to try wicking down. The Ecosoya wax has hardly any scent throw, so I’m done with it. I’ve heard the C3 and 464 are pretty comparable. Now I just need to find the right wicks for C3...

This was so helpful! I am going to try 464 with CD wicks for my glass mason jars. Which wick size do you recommend for regular mouth and wide mouth mason jars?

I am hoping someone out there has the perfect soy wax and wick combo for regular mouth and wide mouth pint mason jars.... I have tried several different combinations and it's getting expensive and I have yet to find a combo that works . I sure appreciate any recommendations!

Thanks for your help! It can be so frustrating to find the right wax and wick combo. I always use mason jars, both regular and wide mouth. So the diameters are a little different, but both are between 2.5-3”. I will keep searching for the best wax and wick combo for these jars! I also tried Ecosoya 210, and while they make pretty candles, the scent throw is pretty low...

I tried the C3 in pint mason jars (regular mouth) with HTP104 wicks and I had sooting and a large flame. I ordered the HTP 93 to try for this jar size. Is HTP the best wick for C3 wax? Any recommendations are appreciated!
