Has anyone had success wicking Woodsmoke from Sweetcakes in soy wax?

I am about ready to throw candles across the room. I have tested , retested had successful results then problems again. Any of you out there ever use this fragrance in soy candle wax. I have wicked up. I have done 1 oz per lb. Is there another oil that is the same that performs better? Thank you!

any suggestions for somewhere that has a patchouli with a slight hint of mint / earthy blend?

Any reviews of Country Christmas from Sweetcakes? I ordered a sample. It smelled wonderful and then our scale had a glitch and I do believe my 1oz to lb ratio was off so it burned with weak flames. I'm going to reorder another sample but thought some of you have had experience with it in soy wax. Thank you!

So...I've been testing double wicking with a new apothecary jar 22 oz and 31 oz approx. 3 3/4 " .....2 cdn 14's in C1 . The melt pool seems to occur quicker......however going with a larger wick (cdn 22 didn't get it - cdn 24 gets a huge mushroom) I have noticed when testing for example Christmas Splendor and Harvest from Mill Creek..the scent throw at 1 oz per lb and double wick is REALLY strong. Have any of you found going from single wicks to double a huge difference in strength? I have really...never had to back off many scents. I'm starting to think I am becoming sensitive to clove / spice and maybe it is just me. Most of my clients like a more subtle scent that fills the room....not overwealming. Wondering if backing the F/O down will help?

May I suggest testing with a different fragrance oil. I use C1 instead of C3 but...........I could not get the CS Pumpkin Souffle to burn efficient in my wax with my cdn wicking. It just may not be a good mix. I am in the process of changing from large apoth to a cylinder and the normal CDN22 does not get it in this new jar...so I am testing as well. Just got done doing a first run of cdn 14 double and a cdn24.......next up will be the cdn 12's. the 14's made a full melt pool in only 2 hrs.........I'm hoping the 12's willl be the ticket. I have single wicked forever.......it is hard to change. Sigh

I had another supplier that had a clove / vanilla blend which I can no longer get. Do any of you have experience with the Golden Clove from ICS...it sounds like a good one and has a good rating. Thanks!

I am loving this fragrance. Cold throw is great. Did 1 oz per lb soy / veg wax. Those of you who use this...do you find it needs cure time? I am testing one day after making and not getting much hot throw ? Thanks!!!

Love Cranberry Marmalade Day Spa Lavender Mac Apple Carmel Praline Mistletoe Holly Berry Basil all perform great at 1 oz per lb Dislikes Lovespell ( personally smelled like crayons to me?) Strawberry Shortcake weak cold throw Chardonay non existent throw Pumpkin Souffle - I liked it but could not wick it. Apple Harvest weak cold, nice burning

Thank you very much for the explanation.

After reading the posts , I have gone back and looked through my account and charges and the only two companies the past month I have used that card in conjunction with the candle supplies are Candle Science & Fillmore

I was hit over the weekend. They used my debit card number for my business. Over 3600.00 of charges in the UK. They purchased things at a guitar, organ & drum stores, travel lodge, perfume, etc. I use many suppliers, the same as you do. This is very..........upsetting and disturbing.

yes....it is strange .....I am going to test but , not looking good.
