coconut Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'm using 4630 wax, Peak's Coconut Lime Verbena at 6%, and HTP and LX wicks, in a 4oz jelly jar. I'm already down to lx8 and htp 41. There is no smoke, no mushroom, but a flame which starts out nice but just keeps getting taller toward the bottom of the jar. I'm afraid to wick down anymore for fear of no melt. Should I cut back on the FO or try a different wax? I have J50. Any input appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMary Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'd try the smaller wick first, might surprise you. I've read alot and in that recent post that this wax can take quite a low wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I agree on the smaller wick...sounds like your wax is evaporating quickly leaving a lot of wick out the top so the flame keeps getting taller...the further it gets down into the jar the hotter the wax gets...the faster it evaporates.

coconut Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Thank you all for your replies. I went down to an HTP31 and still had the high flame. I think I will try this scent in some J50 and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
