Soy Tealight Issues

[Hannah_Elise]

I have been using the same tealight wicks for over a year now & have recently been running into problems. I have tested & tested & tested & thought I finally had the perfect wick for my soy tealights & now I am having problems out of the blue. I use 1 ounce of FO per pound, liquid candle dyes & KY Pure Soy wax. I had the same problems in 18 different scents some dyed & some not. The wick extinguishes itself after burning 30-45 minutes, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little longer. The wick I am using is a CD-3. When I tested in the past CD-4's seemed too hot & CD-3's worked perfectly in every scent I tried with & without dye. Now I am wondering if I need to wick up. Does anyone care to share what wicks they use for their soy tealights?? I would really appreciate any insight or comparisions for soy tealights. I have tested LX wicks for my tealights as well but other than LX & CD I haven't tried any other wicks for my tealights in particular, does anyone use some other wick type that works great for tealights?? Do you think different soy waxes could make a difference. I used Bluegrass Soy & EZsoy in the past with no problems but just recently in the last 6 months switched to KY Pure Soy. I didn't have any problems until just recently though & am on my 3rd box. I am beyond frustrated & confused

Don't know if this will help, but I use zincs for my tealights. In general, I'm an ECO girl, but I love how I can pour a lot of tealights then go in and wick them -- they stand up straight and burn through any FO.

I'd say it's probably because of the different wax. Do you need to wick up with it in your containers? Try the CD4 and see if it works; if not, maybe a small LX.
