Eco's are dipped in soy and sold at Lonestar- I don't think many people use them on this forum, but it is all I use and works great for me. They are paper core so they heat up nice too.

I actually went back over all of my pure c-3's and have found that when my wick was not large enough / thus didn't heat up the wax enough, I did get these bubbles with my cherry, could this be the problem?

I always go with eco's, they are available from lonestar and they are great perfomers for a great melt pool and throw, I've used them in 8 oz masons, try the 8 or 10's.

I have never had that happen to my c3 use containers, they turn out really nice and smooth and burn the same, how long do you all mix in the scent for, do you whip it or something? I pour my c3 way hot, are you pouring it cooler?

I might be doing something wrong, but my bw/415 testing went like crap. The tops looked bad even after cooling and looked like a mottled brain after burning, i also didn't notice it helping throw or much of anything, (and I REALLY wanted it to, as I have tons of bw)... I tried pouring cold/hot, etc.... just didn't work for me, hope if you test geek you get better results, I will leave the bw work to the pros!

If you're a c3 user currently, you could mix a percentage of that with the 415, smooths out them tops so you can pour hot and shortens cure time, best of both, great throw too, just a thought, have tested it and it works for me pretty good, pour above 150 and it's nice and smooth, only a few shots from the heat gun needed, (about 1/ 10 candles) and even then it's not bad.

Peaks Cappuchino Hazelnut is STRONG fills the house kindof strong, 10 pots of coffee brewing kindof a strong... so you may not need to go to 1oz/ lb withthat one with c3- just a thought, post an update on the ones you tried, my peaks sampler goes like this for fall- blueberry muffins mac apple apple jack n peel warm apple pie cappuchino hazelnut spruce tree home for the holidays amish harvest sugar plum berries gingerbread cookies sweet pumpkin spice. So far I have lit blue/muffins and capp hazelnut and both are throwing great! I will keep you updated on the rest, if you do the same, thanks and good luck to us all with our fall line testing! ps. anyone know a good candy corn? disp. from lonestars- might try natures garden if they have one.

Don't forget to try a peaks sampler,... I know you will pay shipping, but oh, my, gosh, just got mine and the scent and throw is AMAZING>

I use the 464 and really like it a lot, nice burn, easy wicking and good throw.

have used the c-3 and it NEEDS to be poured very hot, have found that the eco 12 wicks work extremely well with that wax in 16oz masons, but you do have to wick up to a 14 for heavier scents. Tried lonestar scents, was not really impressed, and I used at 10%..... and got leakage. The summer creamsicle threw very well, cherry not at all, mulled cider, kindof, I would try another scent company, as the c3 should be throwing well with the right wick, scent and cure time.

Try one eco 14, I've found that this wick doesn't smoke for me, but I don't use your wax....

They got some really nice thick tumblers much like chris's at Walmart, they sell them as Vases, they are square that tapers to the top, but are really thick, and only a dollar or two, but big, like 24 oz... I put 4 wicks in and the marble would look great with that, I will post a pic of the container If I can find one laying around.

I'm assuming this is with pouring cold/slushy, as i stupidly tried it pouring hot, and, alas, I got a colored candle.

Are they silver? If so I age my silver stuff by primer spraying it and then sponge painting randomly with a shiney silver, ends up looking like old zinc, a lot of work, but my money at this point is shorter than my time.... Otherwise to age my other stuff, i use a 'cocoa bean' acrilyc paint available at ace hardware stores, really water it down, brush it over the thing to be aged and then seal it with a spray sealer. Works for me, hope that helps.

I thought that rustics could not be achieved with soy?!? I'm intriged, a 70/30 pillar blend? Tell me more (as my rational mind asks what am I getting myself into now)......Maybe we should all be investers in soy stock, that way our compulsive buying for testing would at least be turning us a profit.
