Help with C3 and 3" diameter containter: WICK??

[carolerenee]

Oh, please help!

I'm using 100% soy wax (Naturewax C3).  Adding 1oz FO to 1lb wax.  Nothing else.

 

My container of choice is a between 2.75" and 3" diameter heavy bottomed glass tumblers, straight sides. (8-10oz), approx. three inches tall.

 

I'm so frustrated with wicks!  I've tried:

 

HTP 104 - not a full melt pool, but nice flame

HTP 1212 - dancing flame, smoke/soot, too tall flame

HTP 105 - Nice flame, but not a full melt pool...sometimes will reach full melt pool halfway down, with a bit of residue on glass

Wooden Wick - Original booster wick - 1/2" wide with 0.020" X.040 booster -  beautiful flame, after 5 hours not quite a full melt pool, 2nd burn after 4 hours, still not full melt pool.

 

Please help me with wicks that you HAVE had success with using a 3" diameter tumbler/jar.   Or is that just an impossible diameter to reach, using 100% soy?  Should I change my container?

 

Thanks for your help!  Spent so much time and money on wicks that are not giving me the nice melt pool I would expect with soy!  I'm in Canada, but order from Canada and US.
