Thank you so much, I really needed to hear this. I thought I was doing something wrong. I didn’t realize this about these wick types, thank you for educating me, I really do appreciate it. I have tested HTP wicks and I love the way they burn, but I’m just not getting a decent hot throw.
In your opinion, would you recommend CD wicks if I wanted to change from the cotton core? Also, do you think it’s ok I got a full melt pool on my first burn with my cc wicks, as pictured? I initially tried this with 44-28-18, but I thought it was just too large as the melt pool became deep very early on, although the HT was great. So I wanted to test smaller sizes, and 44-24-18 was out of stock with my supplier, so I tried the second size down and what you see pictured in my first post is 44-20-18. I will say, the HT is not as amazing as it was when I used the larger size 44-28-18, but halfway thru the jar the fragrance did peter out and smelled like wax, so I assume that is from the wick being too large at that time. The smaller size 44-20-18 is giving a nice HT though, just not as amazing as the larger one.
thank you so much for you help and time, I’ve been doing research and experimenting all on my own for a bit, and thought it was finally time to give in and ask for help 😂
