Kelly Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Success with Eco 8's in a 2.5 diameter jelly jar? Especially with using EZ Soy? If yes, did you also use any additive like bw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country creek Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Someone else on here was using Eco 8 in soy too with the jelly jars. Do a search and see if you can find her thread and maybe ya'll can help each other. Sorry I could not help any further. I use a blend with mason jars.

SSR Candles Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I'm using Eco 6's in my 2.5 to 2.75 inch containers, using C-3 wax, and it works very well. Doesn't leave anything on the sides, excellent scent throw. Does take a while to get a full width melt pool tho. The 8's might be a tad big for a 2.5 inch container, but on the other hand, they might work just fine. The only additive I use in mine is UV protector.

ayshapooh Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 HiI use Eco-8 in most of my 8 oz jj using C-3 , sometimes the first few burns don't get everything on the sides but it does catch up. I tried using the eco-10 but then half way down it gets too deep so I am happy using the eco-8 and letting the sides catch up after one or two burns. There are a few FO's that I have to wick up one or wick down one but the majority I stick with the 8's. Sandy~WI :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junebug Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hi, I got a kit from BCN with ez soy, eco 8's and the 8 oz jjars.I never got a full melt pool...I tested about 5 candles too...I did a search on CandleTech and ordered from C&S, I am waiting on the Cwicks and a scale...My search on CT found that I need to wick up to either:eco 10 or 12 htp104cd 14 or 16 for an 8 oz jjar depending on the weight of the fo...I decided to try CD wicks based on my search results and the price of a sampler pack from C&S, but there shipping is pretty high, IMO...Candle Science or BCN is also good for wicks, or the classies here too!HTH!!

Kelly Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Seems like mixed responses. Hmm... I can't try the Eco 8's out until tonight so I was hoping these would work so I wouldn't have to order the 10's. I knew I should have just gotten both at the same time. I'm too stingy, I read at candlecauldron.com that the 8's would work just fine in the 8oz JJ.I'm so anxious to try out the 8's now. I guess I'll just order the 10's then I will have both on hand. Or I could stop using the BW since that seems to force me to wick up.It's such a struggle to be a work all day when all I can think about is candles. Too bad I can't burn them at work then I could test and work at the same time. Thanks for the responses, I wish they would have been more like "Yeah the Eco 8's should work great in the EZ Soy!!!!". If only it were that 'EZ' right?~~Kelly~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Oooh! My Eco 8 is looking good so far!!! I'm excited!!! Yay!Rule #1 always get excited on the first test burn of a scent when it's looking good a half hour into the burn... Right. Smart.~~Kelly~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassgal71 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have good luck with ECO 10s in C3 for my jelly jars. I think you just need to test things out and see what works. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Think I'm going to need Eco 10s. I had very minor hang up and I think after a few more test burns it'll catch up because my jars are tapered but, I think the 10s will work better.I'm going to make one without the BW and try the 8's again to see if that makes a difference.The gal at BCN recommended CD12's but I think I'll stick with the HTPs and Eco for now!
