lrbd Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 I am thinking too small . Should I stop and go up a size or two? I have an 11 made click for videohttp://www.box.net/shared/z6sdjb4apx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnj Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I really do love following yours and tops palm pillar testing.Trying to let all this wonderful info sink in and give it a try sometime soon myself.Great job and thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) We've been testing the 11's and so far, so good but the throw is not as good as it is with the 12's. What messes us up with the 11 and 12 and burning for a shell, is the wick's bend and if I don't keep a close eye on it. I just really don't want to have to continually mess with the wick so I can get an even burn when I'm wicking to leave a shell. i just don't see customers doing it either. I do think I might even be able to wick down from the 11 to a 9. What made you jump from the 11 to the 7? Do you have any CSN's 9's you can try? I can send you some. I'm still planning on trying the RRDs but need to order them.BTW - beautiful candle. Love the color.

I just really don't want to have to continually mess with the wick so I can get an even burn when I'm wicking to leave a shell/QUOTE] me either but I am beginning to think it may not be possible. You have to make sure the wick is centered and turn the candle. I don't want to. I think the CSN 12 is the best burn I have gotten so far and the scent was nice as well. I am not ready to throw in the towel yet but close to it. I may have to settle for the candle to consume somewhat.Should I give up on the CSN7 guys ? I am thinking yes. I have an 11 made that I can start tomorrow . Edited April 8, 2010 by lrbd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
