    First off there isn’t a right way and a wrong, all ways shall be judged by their results. There is a way that we do things at NASA. The technical term for what we are doing is establishing a baseline. So in this case my baseline is a 51 zinc in an 8oz tin, I tested a bunch of wicks to get there. Always testing without FO allows me to compare my test results. When I burn a new FO in the tin I’ll always start with a 51 zinc and wick up or down base on how that first candle burns. I suspect most FO will work with my baseline wick. I’m not sure I see any benefit to using FO in my testing. I lack the experience and intuition that you have so I have to follow a process. I would say that you should ignore what other people are doing, because what you are doing is clearly working. BTW did you recognize the jar? I found a case on eBay at a good price.  

     

    I 100% agree. I needed to find a baseline as well. Testing my natural wick gave me tons of knowledge and a footing on what I was learning.

    Here’s what you need to do. Test with container half full. Wick for that area. Get that down, then do a full tester.

    Three wicks you want to go down in size, when you hit half way those three wicks can be flickering torches.

    Good point! I’ll get a much better idea how the heat plays with the wicks, doing this!!

    Hello! I really hope someone can help me on here. We just switched to a larger 16ox jar (fr Glassnow) but I can not wick it properly. I need a wick that can be tripled and not flicker like crazy! I do not like CD wicks. ECO has been doing alright but the flame is still everywhere. IS THOS JUST BECAUSE IM USING 3? LOTS OF HEAT, LESS OXOGEN?? 
     

    Who has a favorite, hot 🔥 burning wick that doesn’t flicker??🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻!!!

     

    thank you in advance for any input
