Thanks so much, @TallTayl! I will go back to CSN and wick up - maybe that will help.

@TallTayl I am using CW's Crystallizing Container Fill Palm Wax - Palm-1: https://www.candlewic.com/store/product.aspx?q=c19,p759&&title=Crystallizing-Container-Fill-Palm-Wax---Palm-1. I've tested blends from 10% up to 50% palm.

I have tried RRD and CSN wicks, but without luck so far.

@TallTayl - thanks for your messages. (Your posts are ones I take very seriously, because I know they are backed by research and experience!!!)

Some fragrances I've used include:

• FC: Havana, Gin & Tonic
• CS: Sea Salt and Orchid
• WSP: Black Amber & Lavender, White Oak & Cedar, Leather, Headache, Mayan Gold
• BA: Wood Shop 

I don't myself add any additives to the waxes. My blend is mostly Coconut 1 (100% coconut) with beeswax and palm as hardeners. The palm is from CW and the rep told me it does include natural additives. There's no soy in my blend.

Hello and a massive thank you to this forum - I have been reading through the archives for months now and learned so much! 

Here's my question: everything about my candle seems perfect except that all-important HT. As in, it barely exists. I have tested:

• my own blends of all-natural waxes, predominately coconut wax
• fragrance loads ranging from 5-10%
• a glass jar with a 2.75 diameter
• cotton and cotton/paper wicks including RRD, CD, CSN, ECO, HTP, Cottonwood
• cure times ranging from 1-3 weeks

I've gotten things dialed in to where the burn is amazing: average ROC is .07/hr, the flame stays small and steady even after an 8-hour power burn, I get a great MP (almost FMP after 4 hours; FMP on second burn between 7-8 hours; great subsequent burns up to 24 hours of testing). So, I hate to mess all this up, but I'm getting little to no HT. As I mentioned, I've tested numerous sizes of six different wick series. 

Any thoughts? Is there any other information I can provide that would help?
