ErronB Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 I really want to try the 'IGI R2322A GLASS GLOW PALM CONTAINER WAX' but now that CSN wicks are gone does that mean there is no ideal wick series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other series, just not easily accessible in smaller quantities. V series, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a size that would work well for 3" diameter containers in general? I'm thinking about biting the bullet on a big bag so I can at least spend some quality time testing that wax. I figured there probably isn't many instances where you'd need a different size because you use such a small amount of FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to buy other series in small testing quantities of 25 per size in the past. Recently learned a new v type series is coming out. Will buy the whole set once they are available because you never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErronB Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 I contacted CS to see what they said about this, and they said the reason is due to poor sales. Then proceeded to tell me that I should use CD / Eco instead and they don't even know what waxes I use LOL. This is the problem with them, they are just a good facade for noobs and it looks like that's where their main business is. I don't use anything from them anymore, although I am testing the new soy wax for melts / pillars but that's about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have easily marketed those wicks as superwicks for soy And other natural wax blends and sold them by the 1,000. It’s a shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I wouldn't give up on the RRDs. Try a lower FO load and the next smallest size wick for your jar. I was really surprized what a difference it made with my CSN wicks so am willing to try it out with the RRDs. But I actually got not only a much better flame and consumption but the HT was improved by lowering my FO load and wick size. I use glass glow palm BTW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which wax and container size are you using these for? I've not had much experience with this series and thinking of grabbing a bag to mess with since a lot of people say these are the holy grail in some scenarios.

Candybee Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I use the CSN for my straight sided 12 oz jars. Works perfect!! Although I believe you can use them for 8-10oz jars depending on the jar diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9 ships from the other coast so I'd have to pay another shipping cost, dammit lol. Is CDN almost the same or are they completely different? Those are the only other wicks I haven't tried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caravan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 On 9/16/2020 at 11:02 AM, Kerven said: I had different issues with RRD. Not a lot of soot and smoke. A little mushrooming. The wicks had a tendency to curl and not self trim, so by the 3rd hour mark I had excessively long wicks in need of trimming and uneven melt pools. The flames were too large and ROC high, even when wicking in either direction. Incidentally, mine aren't labeled nst 2, so I'm guessing I have RRD without the treatment? Edit: Candlewic suggests using series RRD, CD, HTP, ECO, and LX 22/24/26. I wasn't too thrilled with ECO in palm-soy blends. It was so-so. Edit 2: There are old threads about wicking palm waxes. Here's one for feather palm. There is at least one more thread by the same user about wicking starburst palm. Not sure if there are more - didn't dive too deep. Now, I'm curious about using CDN's since I'm working with both soy and palm. How do I find the other post on wicking starburst palm? In another thread I had read several weeks ago someone had referenced these posts. I looked by user name and date but was not able to locate them. (Any explanation given needs to be VERY BASIC, please, since I am completely new to this forum thing Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strugglebrother Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 CSN7 wicks now popped up at CS again... CDN and CSN isn't the same wick. I would grab so you have for another year and start testing in the meantime, otherwise you can always order from the UK (they also stock CSN11).
