LanaH Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Do the CDN wicks burn about the same as the CD's? Just wondering if I should try a smaller in the CDN's than I am currently using in the CD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 CDNs sometimes burn more efficiently enough to make a difference in the size as compared to a CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elliecat Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 yes you need to wick down with the cdn's. I go down about 1 size. I love these wicks they burn great and rarely shroom and don't bend over into the wax like the cd's did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 don't bend over into the wax like the cd's didI am not aware that the chemical treatment which makes CDs (Stabilo) different from CDNs (Stabilo KSTs) has any bearing on the wick "bending over into the wax." I have not had any of the CDs or CDNs I have used bend over into the wax. Perhaps this is more of a function of the wick wax that was applied to the CDs you purchased.

The CDN is burning a little better, so thought I would try the CDN 16 and it is doing alot better than the other two. It has a good melt pool but is mushrooming a little too much. So I just put a CDN 18 in and I'll see how that one compares. I just got the three sizes to test with, hope I can get one to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickedWick Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've been testing the CDN's as well..having mushrooming problems even though I'm wicking both ways..up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryL Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Could any of you recommend a supplier for the CDN wicks. I just read that (Just By Nature -who is closed) had a good CDN. I use soy wax and wick most of my candles with HTP 126 and 1212 that I purchase from Candle Science. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlelady Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I saw that The Scented Bean carries CDN wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickedWick Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Gee...that bites..I'm new and just discovered them. Received a sample pack of CDN's and FO's from them a week or two ago. Guess I won't be re-ordering.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Gee...that bitesCouldn't agree more wholeheartedly...:undecided Dammitalltohellandback!!!Guess I'll have to order by the gazillion from WickIt... :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunFlames Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Stella, I have seriously considered ordering the smaller CDN's, now maybe the larger too, and reselling. I just can't find what I want and I don't like it. They are great wicks, as you know, and really need to be out there more!!DanielleI just don't want to get stuck with a bunch of off size wicks.

Stella1952 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I just don't want to get stuck with a bunch of off size wicks.I think this is the precise reason that finding CDNs under size 8 and over size 22 has always been such a problem. I too have been thinking of reselling so that I can justify buying the larger quantities. CDNs have performed so well for me, I simply refuse to switch!

FunFlames Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I wonder if the new owners of JBN will carry different sizes? Lets hope!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfcat Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I had no idea JBN was going to close or otherwise I would have placed an order for the CDN 8! Anyone have any extra they might want to sell? I simply can't afford 5,000 of them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfcat Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Never mind! JBN is back up and running so I ordered. Whew, I feel so much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
