So I'm experimenting with Paraffin wax, IGI 4627 Comfort Blend in 9oz. straight sided jars, diameter 2.88. I used an LX14 wick and tested 2 candles, one with 6% fragrance oil and one with 10% fragrance oil. The one with the 6% fragrance oil has a better melt pool after 3 hours burn time. Do you think that the 10% may be clogging the wick making the melt pool smaller? I originally thought that the 10% fragrance would make the larger melt pool but I guess I was wrong? Any thoughts on this? thanks for any help!

Hi , I'm new to the forum thanks for any help you guys can offer!  A quest to fix my HT has brought me to this forum  .  Anyway I have been making candles for over a year now, after testing and trying different waxes, containers and wicks, I finally settled on 9oz. straight sided jars (2.88 diameter), Soy wax 444, CD10 wicks and fragrance loads of 10% or 12%.  I heat to 180 degrees , add FO at 160 and pour at 130-135.  Somewhere along the line here I have lost my HT.  Is there anything glaring that you see in my process that could be causing this lack of HT?  I also just wonder how you actually test your hot throw?  I mean my candle is small so maybe its only good enough to fill a bathroom with scent rather than a family room with high ceilings?  Its just the feedback that I have been getting from people about the HT, the love the candle, the color, the presentation but a few people have definitely mentioned the lack of HT.  So thats is my process, if you see anything that stands out or have any helpful tips, I would sincerely appreciate it!!
