Thanks @TallTayl . I have tested adding my EOs from 4-8 % . I didn't get any HT from Lavender even after adding at 8% but got some from Jasmine at 4%. So I assume it depends upon the quality of EO or wax/wick combination. I will try more EOs as mentioned as well some other manufacturers. Thanks @ BusyBee for the all the links.

@TallTayl: I have used soy wax from a local supplier and small size cotton wicks in multiple size glass vessels. The best results I get from 3"X3" glass vessel. Medium flame ,no soot (I do trim the wick on the next burn). Everything seems fine except the HT. I tried wooden wicks ( 1.3cm X 13 cm ) as well but they never worked for me. The flame was very low and would extinguish on slightest wind. I will now try with Lemongrass. Can you please let me know which other EO's I can expect to work. Thankyou. @BusyBee: I checked my Jasmine EO and it says 20% undiluted and it was no doubt expensive than others. But I do like it using in my diffuser so wanted to give it a try. Also I am getting my EOs from India where these are manufactured. Yes, I want to use EOs in my candles. I am okay with them if I can mix carrier oil in it. I would like to know which carrier oils can be mixed and does it improves the HT. You mention about 8 EOs working in candles. Could you please let me know which ones. Do you have any source/link to read? I have given a lot of time in these testing's and wouldn't mind to do more but I do want to give my best try. Thankyou.

Hello candle makers, I am a newbie and am trying to make Soy wax candles using EO( I know ,many of you won't support) since last 3 months. I got excellent CT but little to none HT. I cannot use FO because it is not easily available and also due to the family member allergies. Can someone let me know is it possible to get HT from soy wax using EO (I have used Lavender(No HT), Cedarwood(very mild HT), Jasmine(mild HT)) . I do get some HT when I scrap of some wax from already made candles and burn it in wax warmer. So does this mean , I should go for wax melts rather than a candle. Thanks.
