Grani L Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I was wondering. I am burning butt naked from NG in a 9 oz hex ]ar. This has cured for 3 weeks. The cold throw is strong and satisfying when I remove the lid. But its been burning for almost 2 hours and the hot throw is very light and dont quite smell like the cold throw. The wicks are CD 10 and the other jar is CD 12. Looking at both, I see they both have mushrooms and the MP is showing through the sides of the jar some what on both jars, with a bit more showing on the CD 12. Sounds like a CD 8 for this jar, but the CD 10 flame isnt all that big. I only used 1oz FO pp of the 415 and 1 TBSP of USA. Is the Cd the best wick for this FO? What are your opinions?

lmc Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I've never tried NG Butt Naked but use CandleSource and it throws great in C3 and a soypara blend I use at 8.5%....I use CDNs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfly Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I have not graduated to candles yet but did want to share that NG's butt naked has a great throw in 415 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grani L Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 The candles cold throw is wonderful. This is the next day actually. I fell asleep last night after I put them out and never put the lids on and the cold throw is kicking butt. But does the CDN burn a bit cooler? I am going to try a CD 6 or 8. The flame height is said to be the same,but the roc is 2 numbers apart. But I think I will look into the CDN wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grani L Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Never mind to if the CDN's burning a bit cooler. I think I have that answer now. I just have to do some tweeking thats all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfly Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yay! Glad you figured it out. I will be looking through this thread when I am finally ready to actually wick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
