THANKS YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT... I had mad up my mind to stick with Pariffin. Not even sure if I want to try and add a soy to it or not, I mean to really get the benifit of the so called clean burn, I am thinking you would have to have a lot of soy in there and then you taking away the quaility and benfits of using a pariffin? Anyone agree? Or do any of you pariffin lovers like to add soy? Or use a preblend soy like the CBL-130? The air quaility thing really didn't sit too well with me as a selling point. Because the way I see it is if you have a flame, then something has to be fueling that flame, and weather you see a soot or smoke from it or it burns off a clear feul, it is still burning off something. I understand about wanting to surport farming etc etc. Hey that sounds great and all. I am a farm girl myself, don't plant soy beans but I have a horse farm and other animals.. And yes I am against "Animal Tesing" I think it is CRUEL!! The animals get all upset and nervous then end up writing down the wrong answers!!

I have been using CBL-129 for many years now. I started testing Soy. Nice burn but still can't compare to the great throw of the 129 I am testing soy using Ecosoya CB135. Had some OK results but now asking myself is if really worth it, should I throw in the towel with soy and stay with the 129?? Now I see they also have a CBL-130 that is a soy/pariffin blend and I am wondering that since they make such a great 129 will the 130 be as great? Is there really any benefit to trying it, does it burn all that much cleaner seeing that it isn't all soy? Can anyone help me out?? PLEASE

I have just cbl-129 for many years. for a pariffin I found it to be the best out of all the ones I tried. I have been testing soy and so far I am getting OK results but no way as good as scent throw as with cbl 129. So I was wondering if I need to start testing a blend wax? And since the 129 was great for a pariffin I am wondering if the CBL-130 is great for a soy/pariffin blend? has anyone just this and can maybe compare the 129 and 130 for me? And I going to get the advantages of cleaner burn due to the soy and a great throw like with the 129 due to the pariffin in the blend? Or should I just stop testing and stick with the 129??? :undecided

If you had tried both of these waxes and like one better then the other, which one?? I have been playing around with the 135 and have to get more and I see they also carry the GB 444. Any input on these two?? TIA

I did sure the wick, they are pretabed and I did dig it out to see if it was still intaked and it was. I always used the LX wicks with my pariffin and that never happen before??

I am test burning some candles made with EcoSoya-135 have some good results with melt pools using 2 lx wicks, but after I blow out the candle and look back at it after it is cooled. My wicks are GONE! Must fall down in melt pool? Does this happen to others using the LX wicks??

Can anyone tell be if you have compared these 2 wax? Reading about them, they seem a lot all like? I only started testing soy and only tested CB 135. After curing a week I got some very results. Smooth top, no frosting good throw etc. But if I can get better with the GB444 I will test that one too. I am mainly looking for great scent throw hot/cold. I also like to pour hot. I have used pariffin for the past 7 yr and just now playing with soy. I don;t worry about looks too much, can care less about wet spots, frosting thing. I have learned over the years that people don't notice that stuff! I remember knocking myself out to get a mottled container candle and after i did and asked people about the look and change in my candle, they didn't have a clue what I was talking about until I showed them and even then they could care less. I did test using LX and CD wicks. I always love the LX but with testing the soy I found them to drown out more often and not up hold too well. The CD's did better, but I get a lot of mushrooming with the CD's. When using a wide jar I always double wick, No matter what type wax, FO wick etc. I feel I get too much smoke with a large wick. I tested using one wick with a wide jar, tested with a HTP 1212 and too much smoking! TIA for any and All Help Gina www.theprimitivewitch.net
