Everito Bandito Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Thanks for posting these picks. I always like to see test burn picks. These look like 8 oz square masons. Is that true? I have had plenty of dancing flames testing these jars with a 50/50 blend of J223 and eco pure soy.Our waxes are a bit different but I found an eco 10 and a cd 16 to be acceptable. I still wasn't really all that pleased with the burns.Thanks again for showing your testing. I just got some 464 in yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixiegal Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 I tried the eco10 and a cd 12 today and its doing much better with the flame, but the throw seems less today, could be me though I have some sinus stuff going on. forgot to charge my battery though Ill be doing another burn in the morning so Ill get a pic then.

stacien Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yeah that CD 16 is way too small you will probably be up to a 20 or 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixiegal Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yeah that CD 16 is way too small you will probably be up to a 20 or 22.really? it seemed way to big to me with the cd 14, the flame was all over the place and it was mushrooming bad. I changed it to a cd 14 and was thinking or trying a smaller one? Right now Im having a problem with the candles being half gone and I have no throw at all on the eco or the cd wicks I can just smell a waxy smell. I am going to try a larger lx tomorrow but am reading a lot of posts saying lx wicks are not the way to go with this wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
