Oceangazer1 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The cd 7 is doing okay! I also pulled out a 51C because the 51z wasn't burning to my liking. The C puts out too much soot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangazer1 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I use that jar and 415- I sell them for 10.00 around here and others sell them for 8.00- I would go broke at 8.00- they must buy in serious bulk or use crappy low grade cheap oils I am not big enough to buy like that and use a lot of expensive FOCD 16 May be too hot with jar and that wax- I do have 2 oils I use that size for that are PIA's to wickA 10-12 is what Works me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangazer1 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 When I was working with 464 in these jars I mainly used cd 10s sometimes 12s also I don't understand some using 14-16 mostly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy63 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Oceangazer. I didn't get my comment in quick enough. Thanks for the info. I just never mastered soy to look decent. I have tried the 6006 with the CD 8's and so far so good. Aztecs Tobacco, Apple Jack and Peel and BlackBerry Sage all burning nicely in an 8 oz Mason Jar.

Candybee Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Candybee are you In Jersey by any chance? I also drive to Fillmores Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I am in Virginia. Takes me about 3 hrs to drive to Lancaster one way. But I typically drive to Candlewic, Candles & Supplies, and then swing back to Fillmore on my way back to Virginia. Now that I am again buying from Peaks I plan to drive to Peaks then Fillmore as I can get all my candle needs from them with the exception of some FOs from CS. Also, an 8oz jar I typically sell for $8 and then have either a 2 or 3 for special. An 8oz jar simply won't sell for $12 in this area even in a pricey boutique. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be able to drive to C&S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 It's possible to drive to Candlewic, C&S, Peaks, and Fillmore in a day... but it takes ALL day so I just make it a full day trip. It still saves me a buttload of money shipping wise so its worth it. But it is a lot of work.... and driving. But its oh so much fun to shop in the showrooms and smell all the FOs before buying! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still finding them a but too large. Too much soot...Going to stop testing the 8's unless I have an fo that's a bugger to wick. The cd 6 and 7 I'm going to test extensively and this is with 6006 and dye. Edited September 22, 2015 by Oceangazer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy63 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Oceangazer..the CD 8's seem to be doing well in most fragrances. Lately, I have been not coloring my candles just trying to get some consistency (impossible in this hobby I know) and the 8's do seem a bit hot in these candles. They could definitly use a downsizing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB12 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Are people finding that cd wicks mushroom and flicker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Are people finding that cd wicks mushroom and flicker?Not in my applications they don't. Zincs are much worse about that, but even those don't do it very often anymore now that I have my combination pretty much perfected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangazer1 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I'm beginning to settle on 51's with hard to burn fo's. 44's and CD 7 are working well so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle guy Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I have the same jar and using 464 soy wax. I just bought the eco sampler set of Wicks. I have used the 10 and 12 which are not bad but the flame dances too much and the wick mushrooms. Any suggestions on wick size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 464 with this jar maybe try the CD Series in a 10 and 12Or HTPS in a 93 - 104 and 105CDNs may work also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I agree with Moonshine exactly......I usually use a cd 12 and and have also used the htps from the 93, 104 and l05. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siren12 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I know this is an older thread but these were the exact jars I used as wedding favors. I used golden brand 444 and Eco 14 wicks in them and it worked perfectly. No mushrooming on the wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
