Hello, Most of the candles I make I use CB 135 and the 16oz apoth's using CD wicks. I've not had a problem so far. I double wick using 2 cd 12's for most scents, but I do wick up on the vanilla's and heavier scents to two 14's. I also take the fo load down a bit with vanilla & some cinnamons. That being said, my candles are dye free, so this might not work for you :undecided Paige
