ladysj Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I wonder if any one has attempted or does make candles in there jars? If so can you give me pro's & con's. They are 3.25 inches wide by 7.25 inches high. Do they have a problem burning out as it burns further down into the jar? Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. I use the 70/30 blend like Green Leaf use to offer. I typically use only Eco wicks. Also does anyone know where to get wicks longer than 6 or 7 inches? Thank you in advance for any help or input.

Candlewic has 8" wicks, incl ECO. They also offer a custom wick builder service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysj Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Thank you. Has anyone ever actually made a candle in these jars with success? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopie Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I haven't attempted a candle in that jar, I did see it at Dollar Tree. That glass seems to be rather thin to try to burn a candle all the way down into it without it cracking. I am, however, testing another jar I found at Dollar Tree...it's a storage jar with a screw on lid. I just got finished testing one, and I purposely under wicked it a bit to avoid it cracking. It burned beautifully for me, without getting the glass too hot, I would, however, like to see a bit more flame on it. I'm about to up wick it by one, and retest it for durability. It's SKU number at Dollar Tree is: 259109. Here is a picture of it. I just ordered a case of these to play with, the shipping was cheap. I hope this helps?

Those taller sides mean more heat held in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopie Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Exactly. That's why I decided on the thick glass jar with the lid. I do know that Yankee sells a similar jar, however, it seems much sturdier than the one I saw at DT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
