idacandlelady Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I used a HTP 1313 wick in this jar and it is still not large enough. Anyone have any experience with this jar? I don't think it is big enough to double wick. I'm at a loss. Any help would be really appreciated!!! http://www.northstar3c.com/cgi-bin/shop2/cp-app.cgi?usr=51H917307&rnd=872805&rrc=N&affl=&cip=71.33.25.68&act=&aff=&pg=prod&ref=34&cat=10&catstr=HOME:10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I couldn't find dimensions on the site, what is the diameter of the jar at the widest point, and what are your stats on the wax, FO load, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idacandlelady Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Sorry I wasn't even thinking!:embarasse The jar is 3 1/2 in. I'm using ecosoya pure soy. 9% fragrance load. Thanks Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 What about an LX 26, 28, or 30? I found LX wicks to work best in Ecosoya wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I would try double HTP73 to start, but you may need to go to HTP83. I double wick anything more than 3" in dia. I tried those jars out, but they weren't quite what I was looking for, but they are pretty jars when lit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idacandlelady Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 I dont know if it is just the htp 83's or if they are too small.On my second burn after about 3 hours I have almost no flame. I'm afraid to use 2 93's bc thejar got a little hot with these in the beginning. Should I try a different size or a different type altogether?Please give me input!!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 You know, we always talk about wicks "drowning out" but I'm not sure that's what really happens. I think maybe they clog and then just burn out.It happened to me a lot with CB-Pure Soy and I think we've had a couple of threads recently where it's come up with this wax. Never had it happen with CB-135 and Advanced.It kind of sucks when you have a perfectly good wick size as far as flame height and melt pool are concerned and then it just dies on you.

CelestialSoyCandles Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 This jar SUCKED! for me with pure soy - it never burned right.. Then I was told that smooth sided jars work best for soy - any kind of hex , dex whatever jar I have tried never burned right.. Sorry I wasnt much help - but I htp1212 is what was best for me - still not getting a complete burn though.. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I can't really make out what kind of jar this is.It looks like the salsa jar from Gamber Container. (manufacturer/distributer for glass to suppliers and food plants) I see you posted the dimensions, but I would need to know what kind of lip/dip if any on the top of jar.

Tracey Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I believe this is a 16oz Classic. I have struggled with this one as well. I use KY125. With a few scents I can get it to burn with a CD22, htp1212. I tried the double wicking thing and didn't have any luck---it would seem I would get my melt pool in half the normal time and then the wicks would almost die out.I have a friend who loves these jars and that's the only reason I even bothered--they are pretty when burning but tough to wick with soy......Some scents will wick fine with the larger wicks---I gave up on my cinnamon scents-couldn't get singles to work or doubles....Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiptooth Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Not sure if this will help you or not, but I use an 8 oz. classic jar from candles and supplies and I typically use a medium cotton wick from At Wix End for this jar and have had success with all soy flakes and most fragrances.
