Debra Phelps Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I am starting to have customers tell me they won't stay lite. Not drowned out, just won't lite. I have used these for 6 months now. I heard this a few times out of 1000s of candles, but now I am hearing it more. Anybody having this problem? I use 464/1.5oz per lbs. 9oz jar, Eco 10's. I think I want to try another wick but am afraid to in the middle of the season. Got any suggestions. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I assume you did all the normal testing... but would like to know:- Does it seem to happen with one particular fragrance oil - like a new oil you are using? - Have you been getting these wicks from the same supplier? - Have these problem wicks come from a new bag?- How and where have you been storing the wicks?- Is the complaint coming from one person or several people?Hmmm, curious ...

tgreeson Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 SAME EXACT THING just happened to me! My problem was with one of them not staying lit in a double wicked candle....In like 3 candles. So Weird! I cant remember if they were my HTP or ECOs Ill have to go check my notes, but no drowning just goes out. Maybe one was taking O2 from the other.

kyme1911 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The same thing happened to me with Eco's and 464, so I switched to RRD's & the problem stopped. I have been trying out CDN's, and have had good results.Kyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countyline Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Okay, you guys are starting to worry me. I have been testing my candles to the point of paranoia, and have finally settled on something I think I can sell with ECOs! Ack! I haven't had any of these problems! I wonder where everyone bought their wicks that are causing problems? Maybe we can figure out a common denominator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I would definitely say it's BAD wicks. I had some bad 44-32Zs last fall and they would just go out. Mine came from BCS. Next order of wicks worked fine. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
