I use C3 so it may be a little different than what you do, but the biggest issue I have is NG fresh orange - smells just like a fresh orange in the bottle, but in the wax, it's like a creamsicle...not bad, but not right. Different blends are good, like it says above...try finding a peach and....... that might work. I have some scents I get requests for that I just can't do because the scent doesn't match up. FYI for anyone out there using NG fresh orange, try NG clementine...it's awesome in C3 Most other fruit scents seeem fine in c3 . Pomegranate, blueberry, cuke melon, all are fine.

Looking for feedback on double wicking jars. I use an apothecary 3 7/8 diameter jar. We have been struggling with burn using one wick, and have thought about switching to two wicks. Any feedback on this would be appreciated. How do they burn? Do your customers care? etc... Thanks.

Hi All. I am new to Craft Server...Just found this after about 4 years of making candles....boy would this have been helpful for the last 48 months! I am trying to find a good explanation of the differences between wicks-I see Cd mentioned throughout many threads.... I have tried ECO, Hemp, CD, HTP, and never seem to find consistently that one burns the same. Had good luck with Hemp for about a year and then my supplier changed jars and they don't heat the same....I am now on HTP and back experimenting with pour temps, wick types, etc.... My main product is a 3 7/8 diameter 16 oz apothecary...it's right at the struggling melt pool size for every type of wick.

Outside of the crimping, there is another good solution that won't put as much stress on it while you are doing the wick placement. Lone Star Candle supply out of texas sells a wick setter- like a long rod with a magnet on the bottom, and wick "stickies" little glue dots...doing this will greatly increase your speed as well as make it very easy to center them. Its a little investment, but really pays off in the long run!!!!
