Terry Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 It's been a while since I've posted anything here - hope everyone is doing well! Regarding Pro Blend 600: I did a comparison burn - in a status jar, a premier wick, 745 and the other with an eco 8, FO 6%, cured way over two weeks. The end result was the eco 8 sooted way too much at the end for my liking. The Premier burned nice. So i proceeded to make a couple other testers using the Premier 745 as a starting point, same fo %. The cure time is now over two months and I thought at this point the hot throw would have been great, but it was not that great at all. Some of the scents I used were CS Snickerdoodle and CS White Birch - good throwers in straight paraffin wax. (I know that Pro Blend is a combo of PF and soy). If I add a higher % of fo, I may run the risk of sooting. Should I add a little paraffin wax? I have 4786 and 4625 (pillar wax) on hand. If I use a little bit of the 4625 to harden the wax should I go up in wick size? Can anyone offer and advice? Thanks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been able to coax a great throw from Premier wicks in any parasoy wax. Even if the burn was good, the throw just isn't there for me. I like both Eco and CD wicks with Problend 600. If the Eco 8 produced soot, I would test Eco 6. With CD's, I would start with CD 8 and go from there. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
