Hi Kate - Thanks for your reply! The melt pool is not quite a half inch deep. What I meant by burn results, was not as much for scent throw but because the HTP 105 has been the only wick that has made the melt pool the entire diameter of the tumbler. The scent throw seems pretty good...I am using a little less than 8% FO. The jar is pretty warm but I wouldn't say that it is 'hot.' But close to hot...I don't know...I guess to put it in best perspective, I could hold it for quite a while without my fingers being uncomfortable. I just realized that I should have put the thermometer in there to check...part of being new, I hope. How high of a temperature is to high? Thanks so much! Allison

The only thing that I am adding to the wax is FO - to be specific, I've tried Ocean Mist from ICS, Chocolate Milk from CS, White Tea and Ginger from ICS and Lavender from Peak. I've tried more, but those are the most recent. Thank you! Allison

Hi everyone! My name is Allison and I am new to the forum (how many times have you heard that?!) and have been making candles for just a few months. I've been using the IGI 4627 and have been testing wick after wick after wick. The containers that I have been using are frosted tumblers that are 3" in diameter and 3 1/2" in height. I've been testing with the HTP Series of wicks and someone please tell me if this is crazy - but the ones that seem to have the best burn results are the HTP 105's. From what I have read on here, it doesn't seem that anyone uses a wick that big. Could someone enlighten me please? I thank you in advance for any words of wisdom that you might have! Thank you, Allison
