Candybee Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Have you tried cutting back to 6%? Lavenders tend to be strong enough you don't need to up the %. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug1 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 no but I will, I have been using 8% , do you think 6% is better for all fo? do you think the fo is what is causing it to flicker and smoke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanda Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I use 8% FO in my 6006 jelly jars and don't get any smoke. I don't use eco wicks anymore but when I did I think I used an eco 2. Think your wick might be too big, maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceangazer1 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I've been testing this wax 6006, and it smokes. You have to wick down. I'm testing cd5's in jj's right now. Eco 8's are way too big. Try 4's Edited March 25, 2015 by Oceangazer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug1 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks ocengazer, do you have problems with your wicks fluttering once the candle burns half way? just wondered if this is normal, and you are right about this wax it does smoke, but if I can get my wick right it has a wonderful hot scent throw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
