Sachi

Alright. First off thank you for all your responses. I made a test candle with a smaller wick and one of my more citrusy FOs and it seems to have fixed the issue. I'm going to test this with my other FOs to make sure it's consistent. Again, thank you for you help and advice. I really appreciate it.

I'm using the amber straight sided tumblrs from candlescience. Link is below https://www.candlescience.com/containers/straight-sided-tumbler-jar-amber

Yes, it happened in all of them. We lit each one in different rooms to make sure it wasn't something that we were just smelling from the previous candles. Thanks! I'll read through it

It really is. I didn't know that that was something that could happen, but I'm glad it happened when it did so we know to look out for it in the future. We have several samples of wicks so back to testing things out!

Hey! I'm new here so I'm not sure if this would be the correctly place to ask a question like this, but I'm at a loss. My partner and I made new test candles this weekend so we could make sure everything was good before making the rest. We poured the candles and let them cure, and when we lit them everything was fine. They all smelled perfect. So we went ahead and made the rest of them. That night after the test candles had been sitting for a bit we relit one of them, and it very quickly made our entire living room smell like some kind of gas fumes or exhaust of some kind. We got in touch with Flaming Candle and they said that it could be the brand of wick we were using, but I'm just trying to understand what happened. We're using ProBlend 600 wax with Premier 785 wicks. Our fragrance oils were Acqua Di Gio, Cocoa Butter Cashmere, Karma, and Butt Naked all from Flaming Candle. We melted the wax in the typical double boiler way, poured FO at 160, and poured into the containers at 150. We're pretty new to this so any input is very much appreciated. Thanks!
