KatieN Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Hello! I am struggling with finding the best wick for my 9 oz straight-sided jars using IGI 6006 and fragrance oil at 10%. There is a particular fragrance oil that I am trying desperately to incorporate into my line because it perfectly matches a specific theme I need, but it is so subtle when burned. I am thinking that if I can choose a hotter burning wick, it can work for me. I am currently in the HTP wick family. I've tried HTP 73 and 83. The HTP 83 gave really strong hot throw, but begins mushrooming badly within 2 hours of the burn. The flame is also very active and too tall for my liking. But I need something that is hot enough to get the fragrance to disburse. What do you suggest? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErronB Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 You'd need a miracle to get a wick to not mushroom at 10% fragrance load, it's just too much and you'll have the same problem with any others. As far as HT goes a lot of people use CD in 6006, they burn hotter than HTP and can give a better throw, but they are even more prone to mushrooming.
