I'm still trying to retrain my line of thinking when it comes to less is more...Stella, I've been testing pass few weeks with the C3 and CDNs and Premier wicks. I tried the CDN16 and then the 18 because I thought the hang up left over the first few burns meant it wasn't burning hot enough-and the ht isn't where I thought it should be so i wicked up. FunFlames explained that to get the oxygen needed to burn the fuel that it will draw up I should try wicking down (yes, you suggested that too, but umm, didn't listen :embarasse) and that may improve the ht. So I will be trying that this week with the CDN12 and 14 in the 16oz canning jar. When I use CBA with LX, I get a great even burn with good ht, but C3 does NOT burn the same way as CBA nor does LX burn the same in C3- so I need to stop comparing the 2 and thinking that what works for 1 will for the other.*dead horse*But, I have finally got the pour temp down and amount of CO I want to use and having fun getting to know this wax
