@TallTaylor @Kerven or anyone out there.. I recently have read through the whole other 8 page thread on wicking and blending coconut wax... I started out making candles with NorthWood’s soy wax, it is amazing. Just very expensive. I tried the container wax from American soy, and I don’t like the way it hardens at all. That’s when I discovered candles and supplies, which happens to be 40 min from me. I decided to give their easy beads coconut blend a try. Having the same issues as everyone wicking it. I read how the candles and supplies and NorthWood coconut is possibly the same wax made by accu blend? Just sold under different names? I was wondering if anyone happens to know how to go about finding out which soy wax it is that NorthWood’s carries? I’d asked before from the owner and was told it was just from a small family owned soy farmer in the midwest, but not given a name. I was paying $105 per 50 lb case, then $40 shipping on it. I couldn’t afford to keep using it but I love it! Was hoping I could find out what brand it is and try to order from someone closer and cheaper! Thank you in advance for your help!

Interesting topic. Earlier I was looking at the Northwoods site + was browsing the coconut wax blend. The reviews were all very positive + some even commented that the

wood wicks that they sell also worked great  hmmmm  ???? Theres also a wax on there thats for tarts but it seems pricey ??? a 10b sample bag $34.95... Has anyone tried 

this one ? American soy has a votive/tart blend too but from what I recall it was significantly cheaper for 10lbs that the one from backwood. my head starts spinning on 

what to try. I was looking at CSB 3022 from Connies Candles + was thinking of mixing some paraffin or some Ecosoya CBxcel that I have left over. Since the coconut wax

blend is very soft, does the candle burn down very quickly ?

I do use the tart blend from NorthWoods. I agree it’s pricey, but I really like it! I used their soy also for my candles, but I finally just couldn’t afford it... was super expensive, but scent throw was great and it was easy to work with. I did just switch to the coconut blend from candlesandsupplies, as I live 40 min form them, so i don’t have to pay shipping which is wonderful. I am also having the same issue of large flame, I have used cd and now eco wicks in it. So far I like the eco better. Im going to call candlesandsupplies today to see what they suggest. I have never tried the rrd wicks ever, so was thinking of giving them a try. I have used htp in plain soy. Wasn’t crazy about the curling in both those and the cd wicks.
