Dolphin146 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Pita to wick There driving me crazy. I am tring to wick a 2 oz stratus jar. I just love the look of these little jars. Here is what I have tested so far. I use 6006 wax, I am using peaks pecan pie No color The wicks I am testing arecd 3, cd5, lx16, 36 24 zinc, 44 24 zinc and an eco 4 The cd's seem to be doing the best right now the 36 zinc drowned. I am I missing any other wicks or sizes of wicks that may work with this wax. I am really determined to get these little buggers to burn right. I am not giving up no matter how mad I get. I am gonna win this battle LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdaines Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 What is the diameter of those jars? LX 16 is a pretty big wick as is ECO 4. You might as well throw HTP wicks into that collection but I am surprised that the CD wicks didn't do it for you. Also, some of those bakery scents are wick killers, I still can't get cinnamon buns to burn properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 There only 1 3/4 inches round. The cd wicks burn good in my jar But I am getting no or very little HT. I am thinking about tring the 4627 and see how that wax works. If I remember I used to get great ct and ht from this wax. Oh the fun of testing LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdaines Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 That's a fairly small candle, kind of like a votive, how deep and wide of a melt pool are you getting? If that were straight paraffin, I'd be using a LX-8 or LX-10, maybe your consumption is too high with the wick you are using. With parasoy I have tried a CD-5 in a 2 inch container and it works well. Could you be over wicked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 That could be it My CD 3 burns good in it. But I think I am gonna test some 4627 To me the HT is not as strong as I would like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynthia3030 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 That could be it My CD 3 burns good in it. But I think I am gonna test some 4627 To me the HT is not as strong as I would like it. Using 4633 and 4630 paraffin wax, I used either LX12 or the 41 zinc core wick with great success. From my experience with 4627 you will probably need to use a larger wick, that being either LX14 or the 51 zinc core. Out of the entire line of status jars - 8oz, 12oz, 21oz - I always found the 2oz the easiest to wick and it performed extremely well, no throw issues, no wick issues and it burned very clean.
