kayearthgrown Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I am using CB-135 and 1.2 oz. of Cucumber melon from Just Scent. I have read so much about the Cd wicks I ordered the sample pack. I tried DW with 2 Cd 10's and within 45 min. had a large melt pool. and a really hot jar at the top. Pulled out that wicks and waited till wax was hard thought I would try 2 Cd 7's after about an hour same results. Had a great HT but jar was way to Hot. I have now tried to single wick with a extra large Hemp. Wick worked great but not much HT. What do I try next? I hate these jars but Wholesale account wants them. What wicks do I try now? TIA:confused:I am using the 16 oz apoth. jar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 what size jar are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Need the diameter of the container at the widest point... Unless it's over 3 inches or so, there is no need to double wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayearthgrown Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 The dia. of the jar is 4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I used to pour 135 and used lx 20-26's with those jars depending on fo. sometimes I got a little hang up but they had good ht. I have since switched to c3 and DW now with cd's. I don't really know how the 2 waxes compare as far as wicking goes as I took about a year off between and don't have my notes. I see Stella's on it now though, so you're golden - she'll help ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I don't use CB-135, but I have single wicked 4" containers (straight sided - not apothecary) successfully with CDN 20-24 (depending on FO - the 22 was best for most) and NatureWax C3 at 1 oz. pp of FO.
