  1. Thank you for your response!! I'm getting too hung up on melt pools 🤦‍♀️. I've tested nearly all in Eco, CD, and HTP, I'm just not satisfied with the results, aside from melt pool. Any suggestions?
  2. Thank you for your suggestion!! I have not tested these wicks, I'll give them a try!
  3. Thank you so much for your response!! It has given me new insight! I agree, I think I'm getting too hung up on melt pools. The Eco 2's performed well, but I wasn't satisfied with the melt pool on the 3rd burn, no tunneling, but my expectation was for it to melt wider, so I wicked up. Going back to the drawing board. Thank you again!!
  4. I've been testing single wicks for my Straight Sided Tumbler (Libbey Jars) for months and months, I'm still at a loss on which single wick performs ideally for this jar!!! The jar is 3.06" in diameter, 3.5" in height, wax weight 8.5oz, volume 12.1oz. I'm using IGI 6006, 8% FO, most FO are purchased from Candle Science and The Flaming Candle. I've tested nearly every size in CD, HTP, and ECO wicks. Lately, I've resorted to testing double wicks. I've been the most satisfied double wicking with ECO 4's. Even melt pool, throw is outstanding, little to no soot, some mushrooming with certain FO, but not all. My concern is the glass gets really hot once it's burned down to about the middle of the jar. I tried wicking down to 2 ECO 2's, but the melt pool was not reaching the sides on the 2nd and 3rd burns. Any suggestions?
