I'm going to use 6006 1.5oz pp, no dye I normally use zinc wicks but would like to to try the CD. Is a CD 5 a good starting point. The dimension are 2x 1 1/4.....thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonshine Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I don't know or use 6006 but I tested the clarus 3022 (parasoy also) in a container with similar dimensions and the CD 5 was perfect! Hope that helps some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzphee Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 thanks moonshine im going to start there, dolphin 146 I will keep you posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I don't use CD wicks, but with my own parasoy blend LX 8 works perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I have eco wicks sizes 1 2 and 4 Will any of these work with my 6006 Or maybe I was thinking of ordering some zincs to try out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnj Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I use 6006 and have done the 2 oz tins with 36 zinc, eco 1 and cd 5 or 6 (depending on the fo used)imo the zinc work best because they burn cooler.....those little buggers can get really hot.

Dolphin146 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I am so glad I found a sample pack of zincs I had ordered a few months ago. I have 5 of every size YAY I just made one using the 6006 1oz of fo per pound and clean cotton scent from NG and no color. I am gonna let it sit a few days then test it I will let you know my results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se2653 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I LOVE the 2 oz tins, but have found it hard to wick them (I love the small size- and with the right fo, it can still fill up a room!)- I use 4633, and have tried the 36z and some of the low smoke zincs. With some fo's, the wick drowns out in that tin- I need to get back to testing these- I've been distracted by testing melts!! Good luck- keep us posted on your testing! I think I tried some CD 5 and 6's as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzphee Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 I need to order some 36z, I have tries the 44z but I know it gets to hot thanks for the tip, I poured mango sage tea 1oz pp cd5 6006 wax gonna let it cure will let you guys know how it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I use the Low Smoke votive wicks. But WSP is no longer carrying them, methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ok I used 6006 wax 1 oz in a pound of wax and NG clean cotton no dye. I used a 14z The tin got a little to hot for me. I had a sample pack of zinc wicks But there was no 36s in there :undecided So now I gotta order some 36's and see how they work. I will post results when I have some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzphee Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 I need 36z also. To test where did you order from, if you want to try the cd5 I can send you a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Looks like I am going to be ordering them from Peaks. I checked a few other places and no one had them but peaks. I just wish they would of had them in the sample pack LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnj Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 AH/RE has them but no sample packs. C&S sells sample packs of all kinds of wicks.I think NG also sells sample packs of various wicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallenCandle Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I heard that LX 10 will wick good in 2 oz. tins. Am I wrong on this? I don't have the tins, planning to order, but want to know when I get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Ok so I used 6006 wax NG Clean cotton no dye and a 36z wick I used 1oz per pound Been burning it for 6 hours So far it is burning great. The tin is a little warm but nothing to worrie about I can touch it and hold it without getting burned. My kitchen smells wonderful I can even smell it in my living room. Looks like so far the 36z is working wonderful. If it burns to the end without any trouble I will be using the 36z for these tins YAY success at last. :yay: Edited March 19, 2013 by Dolphin146 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Update I tried the 36z with several different fos and They started out good then drowned. So back to the drawing board for me. Now I am testing eco 4, cd 3, cd 5 and a lx 16 I tried a lx 14 but it drowned the wick after the first burn. I also tested with an all soy wax. Now I am going back to testing with the 6006. I like it much better. I will post my results after I am done testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyv Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I"m looking forward to your results Dolphin146. I just ordered 6006 from CS and am excited to start working with it. I'm a bit tired of blending my own parasoy was and thought I would give this a try. If nothing else, I'll go back to my blend. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se2653 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I ran into the same thing with 4633, wicking with the 36z, worked very well for some fo's, others drowned out- it was frustrating! Good luck with your testing- hope you find one that works for most of your fo's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Well I decided to chuck the 6006 No matter what wick or fo I just could not get a good HT. So now I am going to try some 4627 and see how I like this one. I also ordered some htp wicks to try in it. I am not gonna let these little tins get the best of me I will find a wick and wax that I am happy with. Of corse it may kill me LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
