Trappeur Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well, I've made my choice of wicks for the tureen....the 2 cd 8's......This jar has been a bugger - a big mean bugger to try to wick because of the odd shape. These are pictures of day 6 - 4 hour burn test. The wicks performed beautiful the entire time - not 1 dang mushroom - pretty much didn't have to clip but a smidgeon of the wick off b/4 I did each test burn....that's pretty good I would say. The jar is a little more warm than warm if you know what I mean...Maybe placing the wicks closer on the next testing of a new fragrance will make the jar not as warm....but I can pickup no problem...The only thing is there was a very very long period, like a 6 hour burn to scrape the sides somewhat in the days 3 and 4 to get this candle going....I can deal with that no problem...but I'm wondering if I were to one day sell them, is the average customer going to burn the candle that length of time to get it to start cleaning up the sides??????? Because if not, I see a tunneling effect to happen.....In all actuallity, I think this jar is a good candidate for a 3 wick hand jobby..... I'm doing just that - just have to get another jar... Actually I'm going to try and find a company where I can buy 2 more so can do some more testings..... Is there NO ONE HERE on the board that does these size jars? Surely others have wicked it. I would love to get their input of what wicks they did on theirs.... [/url Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I think it looks great. Didn't even think anything of your faux pas about the 3-wicks. LOL I also think once you put those wicks closer together it will 'fix' a lot of the problems you are having and you may not need to add a wick. And sorry, but no, I don't use that jar.

Shoegal Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I haven't used the 20oz tureen, only the 11oz and that sucker was a pain to wick with the Eco wicks and 464. It's a beautiful jar and I hate that a I didn't take more time to figure it out. I just ended up going with a straight jar to save myself some pain and frustration. I think your tests are coming along much better than mines ever did! I've got a bunch of the 11oz laying around. Maybe I will give them another go. Also, is it bad that I read right over your typo like it was nothing? Lol, we all speak the same language! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
