  1. I actually am in the middle of testing with CD wicks right now... the 12 is tunneling the 14 and 16 still have a little bit of wax on the side of the tumbler. However im thinking that an 18 may be way too big.
  2. I think im gonna shoot with the CD wicks and see how they work out.
  3. Yes, I was def. power burning the thing... I was pretty comfortable with the wicking until this... Throughout the LX sizes i wasnt trimming the wicks before each use because I doubt costumers will be doing that.. So i really wanted to put it to the test. I have since changed to CD wicks and will begin testing them and take STELLAS advice on sizing for the bottom half.
  4. Ok..... so I'm doing quite a bit of testing on my candles... This happened during a test with ecosoya and lx-22 wick ( hence all the soot) . It was burned down to the tab and all of a sudden pop! I just ordered a bunch of these and now im concerned if this is safe or if i just had a defective glass.... Has this happened to anyone else?
  5. OH MAN!! yea thats down there! I live in the city and it may even cost me the cost of shipping on gas!!! : /
  6. I just gave them a call! Now I just need to find a Ecosoya cb135 distributer in Chicago and ill be set!
  7. Is there going to be a difference between the cd's and the cdn's performance... Is one superior?
  8. I'm looking for glass tumblers comprable to this: http://www.lonestarcandlesupply.com/products/candlecontainers_libbey-tumbler-hb-rocks-11oz.html Shipping costs almost as much as the candles so I would like to get a place nearby. THANK YOU!!!
  9. The bean is closed... where else can we get CDN wicks at?
  10. OMG!!! I couldnt find the southwest website but look how expensive they are on lonestar! http://www.lonestarcandlesupply.com/products/candlewicks_cd-14--6-wick.html
  11. Do you know of a good distributer of the the cdn wicks? All i can find is australia and a place in wisconsin that has them only in 12" long...
  12. What size CD wick you guys using for 11oz tumblers??? i really am fond of eco wicks tho but not sure that works well with ecosoya wax.... And I really am putting an ounce of FO per pound!!
  13. This happened with two different containers and two different FO's and Two different waxes. The tumbler is 3 inches across and im using the LX 26 with ecosoya CB-135 ( no additives or CO. One ounce per pound of FO. Burned for about 4 hours. and the wick was probably half inch long. WHAT WICK WOULD YOU GUYS SUGGEST??
  14. I am using an 11 ounce tumbler with ecosoya 135..... I keep getting this mushrooming!!! I'm thinking of switching to eco wicks but wanted to know what if maybe it was something i was doing.
