Grani L Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 For those of you that use 6006 , do you use find that wicking florals, fruity, and clean scents require smaller wicking than bakery, vanillas and musky / woodsy scents in an apothecary jar? I will be double wicking the apothecary jar using CD Wicks. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I do not ever use bakery/food scents - I like earthy/woodsy scents, clean scents, herbals, some florals. I have tried double wicking with CD6's and they were too big using 1 oz fo/lb, & 1/2 color chip. I double wicked with CD4's but still have not had a chance to burn yet, but I have a feeling these *may* also be a tad large. I haven't been too anxious to do so since I am loving the great scent throw from the zinc wicks with the 6006. I hope this was somewhat helpful.

Grani L Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 I am really liking the 6006 - the throw is incredible!!! I had mac apple burning earlier, but the MP was pretty deep. - using CD Wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the 6006 too! Great throw! I don't like using the CD wicks with this wax though. Have you tried the zincs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grani L Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 No I have not tried zincs yet. I may be able to get away with not double wicking. I am definitely going to test it, but I will look into a wick that does not burn as hot, yet still get the exceptional throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't want to double-wick, but couldn't get the great hot throw with a single CD or the largest zinc wick. Good luck with it and I hope to hear your results.

I thought it would be too much, but after lighting it, I then thought it was underwicked. I let it burn for several hours - power-burned, both Sat. & Sun, with wimpy flames. it did achieve a good MP, with good hot throw. It seems once it 'settled' itself, it did pretty well, much to my amazement. I will see how it goes burning all the way down and keep you posted. The jar did get very hot though, and the zincs burn cooler & give off, IMO, better scent throw, which is why I use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
