Ok today I am burning the Wildberry Moouse from Candle Science. Eco 14 wick. Melt pool is perfect but still absolutely no scent throw. Great CT just nothing hot. When I made these I followed CS's instructions to the T. I heated my wax to 185 added in my fragrance oil, let it cool down to 135 and poured. A friend today told me that I should be adding the fragrance oil at 150 instead. Please help.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. Carrie I am going to try your suggestion with the HTP. I tried another one today with the Eco Wicks. It was sinus relief and when I took the lid off it, it would blow you away the CT was so strong. I started it with the bathroom door shut, checked it in one hour, no scent, and it was the same with two hour and three. There is at least 1/4 of an inch of hangup totally around the jar. I tried to continue burning the one yesterday like suggested and it just got worse and worse So I really don't think this wick is working at all. On the one yesterday I switched it out on the last burn of the day for the CD wick and still got nothing. I will let you guys know how this wick does. I can't believe the CT would be so good and get absolutely nothing out of the hot throw. Thanks

On the mason jars it says it has a diameter of 3". The one I started in my bathroom which is tiny I used Iced lemon Cookies from Aztec and the one in my bedroom which I am guessing to be about 12" with regular ceilings was Roasted Chestnuts from BC. I just took a picture of both if someone could tell me how to load them I will show you. LOL

I have been testing the 16 oz Mason Jars from Candle Science with the GB 444 wax. Candle Science recommends the Eco 12 & Eco 14 Wicks. I am not coloring these, I have been using 1 oz pp of fragrance oil. They have excellent excellent cold throw but I can't smell any hot throw at all. These were poured last week and candlescience said I should be able to smell them by now but I am getting nothing. Plus I notice that even with the Eco 14 they are not getting a complete melt pool. Test burning for 4 hours. Please someone have some suggestions.

Sorry it took me a few days to get the pictures taken for you. I had to go to town and buy a new charger for my camera because mine suddenly dissappeared. The problem I am having is I am not getting a full melt pool. This is the Prestige Jar from Peaks. The jars diameter is 3", I used 1 oz pp of fo. The fragrance oil used was Peach Belini from Aztec, which in my tarts smells amazing. I was test burning them again last night in my kitchen while working and every once is a while I caught of wiff of it, but granted, my nose is like the worst one because of my allergies. I am test burning 1 hour per inch of candle jar size plus I know last night it went longer because I got busy and forgot to blow it out. The jar on the left has an HTP 126 in it and the jar on the Right has a CD 20. Reading through other posts, it was recommended to add about 15% Ezsoy to make them burn better. Should I do that or just break down and order some Zinc wicks. I have never used zinc wicks before but I would like to at least get some of these to burn right. I will not put a product out to my customers that I don't feel is the best it can be and the shop that requested this jar has been begging me to get this figured out. Any and all help is great appreciated. ' alt='testburn1001.jpg]'> Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I have been trying for months to wick the 12 oz Status Jars from Peak. My wax is the 6006. I use 1 oz pp of FO I heat my wax in my presto pot to about 200. Add my dye and then add my fo when it cools down to 185. I mix my fo in for at least a minute then pour into heated jars. But the problem I am having is wicking. I have talked to Peak's customer service several times as well as a few other companies and everyone has told me a different wick. So far I have tried the CD wicks all the way up to a CD 20, then Peak recommended their cotton core wicks. Bought a sampler of those; they didn't work. I have tried LX22 & 24, ECO 8 & 10 and Candle Science's recomended CSN-14 and the last ones were the HTP 93, 104, 105 and even the 126. These candles were poured over two weeks ago so I know they have had plenty of cure time. As far as scent throw the best I got was with the Eco wicks but the dancing a smoking flame was horrible. I talked to Aztec and they recommended two more different wicks, they recommended either their paper wicks or their premier wicks. The only problem with them are they can't fit their sampler pack into the small USPS box because some of the wicks are 8" long so they would have to send them in a bigger box and shipping alone on the two packs was as much as the wicks themselves. I just placed a received a huge order from them that was delivered on Friday so I don't need anything else. So before I sit on the floor and start bawling like my 2 year old grand daughter, does anyone please have some suggestions for me.
