  1. I did see the pan test one but not sure how much exactly it would apply since with the jar being larger part of it probably won't reach a full melt pull till second burn when the the jar heats up too, at least that's my thinking... Which is certainly not always correct!
  2. Thanks everyone! I've got test samples for every series except LX so I'm just going to do an all out everything test. I'll post results in the forum I saw marked for wick testing. Thanks again for the thoughts and ideas!
  3. With the mushrooming I'm getting now though wouldn't moving up to an 8 from a 6 be worse? And this candle has cured over 2 weeks BTW, now, some others I'm getting ready to are only a few days though. As for the fragrance oil shouldn't the 8% be safe though, or is it just the size of the candle that's giving me such an effect? Of course dropping to 7% also makes me worry about hot throw.
  4. I've looked up all the charts, candlescience specifically recommends an ECO 10 which I'm under. Here's images about 3 hours into my 4th 4hr burn.
  5. So just like it says, I'm using 6006 wax with FO of 8%. Jar is 12oz Salsa jar with a diameter of 3.5" I've been using an ECO 6 with fairly good results and a GREAT hot throw, but it does get some mushrooming and of course soot on the jar rim. Just curious as to what others use in this size? I'm currently starting to test multiple types (HTP, CD, Premier 700's) and sizes but figured I'd try to cheat by asking the peers lol Thanks in advance!
