kandlekrazy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I've been wicking my soy candle shots with 44C's (basically a votive wick) and while I'm not realy picky on these, I noticed the other day when I burned it for 3 hours straight that the glass got pretty hot. Is it possible to get a good burn without a hot glass in the shot glasses? I think these are about 1.5- 2.0 oz glasses and they do taper at the bottom and 1" diam. I use these as tasters...or should I call them smellers? Somebody might try to eat them...oh no, better call the insurance man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowded House Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 44c seems really big for what is essentially a votive.Have you tried any of the CD or LX series? Maybe a CD8 or an LX20 to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Don't have small LX's or CD's...may have a few CDN's from a sample pack...and I'm sure I have small HTP's because I tried those and didn't like them in the shotglass. I don't hate the 44C but it does burn hot if you let it burn long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I don't make shot glass votives, but I do make some 2 ouncers in glass containers and I use CDN 8s. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Thanks eveyone...I think I have a few CDN 8's that I will try before I buy more wicks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
