R.S., Thanks so much for both of your replies and for letting me know about the scent throw with the CB 135. I know some one who makes soy candles with essential oils, and they have awesome throw both hot & cold. So I know it can be done, although it's very tricky to figure out the right formula. I sent an email to her to see if she could offer some tips. I'll let you know what I find out. Take care and have a great day! Andi

Thank you both for getting back to me. My essential oils are coming from Bramble Berry and Wholesale Supplies Plus. My containers are 6 oz, so 5.5. of wax. I bought the CSN's because I was trying to find something that would burn hot enough for beeswax. I ended up trying them in the soy and liked how they burn. They create a nice burn pool, don't mushroom and have a consistent flame. I have not been able to find a CD wick that gives a decent burn pool for my 3" diameter jar. The CD20 was the largest I could find. Where are you getting your CD wicks from? Maybe I will give the CB135 a try and see if that improves the scent. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. Take care and have a great day! Andi

Hi everyone, I recently started making soy candles and I'm having trouble with scent throw, both hot and cold. I'm using the EcoSoya CB Advanced wax, with the CSN-26 wicks from Candle Science. I use 1 oz essential oil per pound of wax, and add the EO at 180 degrees. I'm pouring around 120 degrees. Does anyone have any suggestions for improving the scent throw? Thanks so much and take care!
