angelcandles Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Do you have a preference? Does one work better for “foodie” scents than the other? Edited July 19, 2019 by angelcandles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not using any foodie FOs right now, but I have had success with LX wicks with 4630. The trouble with HTPs is that they lean over and your MP is one sided. Someone recommended twisting HTP and I tried that last week but haven't burned the candle yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErronB Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I've tried the twist and it did work for me, but you have to be careful not to twist too hard or the wick will come out of the tab. The closest foodie scent I had tested in 4630 was Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow and HTP was burning just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I held the wick just above the tab and twisted the top so that it wouldn't pull out of the tab. I'll burn my first one today, I hope this works because really like the HTP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Not sure about foodie as I don’t use those. Lx wick clean and tidy burns slower and less hot than htp. Does do bendy bendy. Htp burns hotter, does a lean. If you have to wick up for foodie scents I would go for htp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard about the leaning with HTPs and my tests with them all sooted, so HTPs are out for me. LX wicks sooted also. I've ordered a sample pack of CDs, we'll see how these go.

NightLight Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Remember this wax is paraffin. If you wick too hot they will soot. If don’t trim they get sooty. if you don’t want soot then start blending the wax with soy, and or wick down, or change waxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
