Hint on CDN size

[charmcandleco]

I just ordered some CDN wicks from CC. I normally use CD wicks. I know that CDNs burn a little hotter than CD wicks. So what my question is what size should I start with in a 7.5oz Tumbler, which is 2 18/16" wide? I know that the wax I use and Fo/dye combo makes a big difference as to what size wick. Just wanting a starting point from anyone that uses these wicks. Thanks in advance!!

Here is a chart that I got from a post a long time ago..it has helped me alot!

Kim... maybe start out with a 12.

What kind of wax? I would normally use a 10 in my wax and that might be a little hot for different fos. I have used both wicks and have never noticed an apprciable difference in their performance. I like the cdn wicks because they are treated to resist the corrosive nature of soy wax. You might even look at an 8 and go up from there. HTH

With 464 wax 8 oz container I use cdn 12 or 10. I would do one of each of those sizes if I were you. I love the CDNs sooo much more than any other wick- even the CDs...Hope you do too!

I Use the 444 container wax. Thanks for the starting point. Thank you for the wick chart that will come in handy. I truly hope that I love them as well. I'm thinking they are going to be a better combo than the CD wicks.
