If you go to discussions they have tons of problems with scent throw and tunneling. It made me feel good to know even the big guys have issues. Now if only I had their money :laugh2: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Yankee-Candle-Company/39925915994?ref=ts

I went 4 hours without incident. I think I will give it some time before I re -melt and go smaller. I am having trouble with the votives though . I don't think I know how to wick them . they always fall over or go off center. Can anyone tell me how to wick them correctly?

I thought the CSN14 would be good but I am not sure about that now. At least for this FO which is Lilac from MC. Thanks for your kind words I am proud of them. I also made some pillars with citronella . They are a bitch to wick. I am up to CSN 16 and they are too small

Thanks My husband actually said he loved it .What do think about the wicks though. With all the testing going on I thought I had it .

I wicked the 4 inch pillar with a CSN 22 ( CS suggests CSN14) I wicked the 3 inch pillars with CSN14 I wicked the 3x6 inch pillar with CDN14 since CS wicks are too short for the mold. I fixed them up all pretty ( cause I was sick of having candles everywhere not labeled or pretty) The crystals are beautiful. After only 2 1/2 hours I had to extinguish the 3 inch ones especially the CDN it almost went to the end. I think the flame is very large on the CSN22 but it looks like it is where it should be in diameter . Go figure But aren't they pretty anyway:rolleyes2 So I can make them I just can't burn them:laugh2:

anything yet ? I am burning with 2xCSN14 little less than 1/2 way down the 24 oz elevation and wicks are getting small but not too small

At the least 4 hours .I test for 4 and 6 . The jar is 4 inche diameter at the widest part Thanks

This is where I am . The CD6 way to small. Not at first but then they are. CD7 too small not at first but then they are. I still have one going. The CD8 leave a layer of soot every so many burns and then they look too small. I am pouring 10 lbs of wax today to make 2 candles of Tulip, watermelon, honeysuckle ,heather and lilac. I used 2.3 oz of FO for each 2 pounds of wax That is I beleive a smig over 7%. I am going to let them sit for a couple of days while I and hopefully you all decide what i should try next. I have CD, CDN CSN and some ecos ( not sure of sizes at the moment) on the way . I also have some HTP83 which I think are too small . Thanks guys.

:pyou're killing me girl

wait so you made a glass glow or a 415 ?

The CD7 is still going but it is really getting small. I blew them out and will try again in the morning. I will take photos. The problem I am having there is the flames are not coming out true to life in the photos . I don't Have that talent i guess.

Thank you I appreciate your effort to help me out. Will you take photos too PS I just re read your post are you using CD7 or CSN7?

sorry that will happen when someone is rambling I guess if you could give me the name of a scent you work with and the amount you use I would try and see if it works for me. I was hoping you had something like I have . Are you working with any flowers FO at this time ? I have a bunch of different Fo hoping we had one in common that I could try. You are the only one that used the same wax and jar as me that I could ask.

I don't think so about the CSN7 cause CS considers 2 CSN14 acceptable so I would think CSN7 would be too small. Also I think but could be wrong that the CSN are more for Palm wax and not the 415. I did try them in the 415 and it is no longer around and i can't remember why I abandoned that test. As far as the Glass Glo I have not read enough or know enough about it to even know where to begin but I was ordering the starburst and I thought I would order that too. I just want to get the 415 down at this time it is really making me mad . Though the Flower pot with the CD10 looks pretty good . There is hang up but I think it will catch up . The Mason has more hang up then I would like to see but it has a ways to go before I will be able to tell. Both those wicks are curling just right and have not needed trimming. Its the double wicking that is difficult. Waiting to hear from 8-Grann she uses the same jar and wax .

I know but then when I get to the 8 and 10 I get soot . Can you give me an example of a scent and amount and wick size . maybe I can try one . do you have any tulip, honeysuckle or name one. I have many I can try . I also am burning two with cd8 again to see if I get soot

ok so my cd 7 a slowly petering out

I swear I am not on crack:laugh2:

you said it sister ! I just ordered some glass glow cause I'm crazy and some eco wicks just because

The CD6 in the cherry lemonade was barely flickering . I am still testing the CD7 in the other cherry lemonade and a CD7 in a citrus sage. . still no soot . The CD4 was soooo small in the flowerpot votive so I read people use a 10 I am trying that now along with 2 CD8 (again)in the 24 oz 4 inch diameter elevation jar and a CD14 in the wide mouth mason all with MC seaside .

thanks !

What is the NGI site? thanks

It's hard to see in your photo. they look similar to me but I 'll take your word for it and also that is what has me on the search for a better wick. Though the CDn worked better than the HTP with the mushrooming I was still getting mushrooms. I think the HTP would be a option if the sizes were not so few and far between. The other problem with too small is in my 24 oz elevation jar . it could possibly drowned out or struggle pretty badly on the way down until it picks up speed again if at all. Kinda like what I saw in the burn before last. But yes I feel bit better today since I have yet to see the layer of soot show up on the CD6 or the CD7.Thanks for that! I have put 2 CD7s in a citrus sage today as well the CD6 was not big enough in that scent . One more tester I had going was a CD4 in a flower pot votive container. I am thinking that is way to small but can not make that decision yet it is early. The flower pot as you know is wide then narrow so maybe.

Not in a million years would I thought I could go down this low. The CD6s are picking up steam. The last burn was not to my liking but the next one was. I am also testing 2xcd7 and they are looking good so far. Thank you all for the advice and thanks top and soy( through email) for recommending such small sizes. I still am interested in the sizes others use as well. I tried a single 10 and 12 in jj and they look good. Any one using 415 have a starting point for the wide mouth mason ?

Mind sharing the size cd you are suing

i am double wicking. thanks though
