Leanna Koharchik Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I am using c-3 wax which is a 100% soy wax and CD18 wicks in a 16oz square mason jar. I do 1oz fragrance oil per pound. I am getting soot around the rim of my jar. Jars also aren’t burning completely clean. What wicks are you finding works best in these for soot?

TallTayl Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 CD worked really well in C3 for me along with cdn and cSn.. You might try just wicking down. Those mason jars create quite a lot of heat lower in the which floods the wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanna Koharchik Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 @TallTayli wicked down to a cd14 and the wick wouldn’t stay lit upon first burn. It tunneled down and would put itself out. I am Stumped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Do you have any cd16s? GoldieMN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanna Koharchik Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 @GoldieMNyes i do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 If the cd16s don't work, I can send you a few different sizes of Premier wicks to try. GoldieMN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanna Koharchik Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 @GoldieMNI think the main issue I’m having is the soot. Although it isn’t much, it’s not supposed to be there. I have tried 12s, 14s, 18s, 20s and 22s in the cd series. The 18s aren’t completely leaving the jar clean. And i still got soot with the 14s. I am stumped. I might just switch over and try an eco or a premier wick like you suggested. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a big jump between sizes it seems. and if you can get a sample pack of CDN and CSN Those burn slightly different also. CDN is a cd with a different wick treatment that handles the corrosive Elements of wax and fragrance better than cd. CSN burn slightly different than the cd/CDN series. Some people have been happy with cotton core. i found C3 to burn “dirty” even without fragrance, especially toward the bottom of a container. Didn’t mater with wide tins, but as soon as I got it into a jar with even the tiniest of reduction around the neck everything was catching soot. I traded prettier tops for cleaner burns with c1 several years ago CSN and CD burned cleaner in c1 for me. C1 can be smooth as glass, you just need to learn the wax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
