Measuring Throw

[Bottlecrafters]

This is probably a pretty subjective subject, but I wanted to get some feedback from the experts on how each of you measure things like Cold Throw, and Hot Throw.

Just with my nose. Sometimes I ask the wife but and daughter but all I get out of them is, "I think I smell it". Match the room to the candle diameter and try to keep drafts at a minimum.

I guess its easiest for me to sum up to say when you have good CT/HT you will know it.

This is the only way I know of to get to the old page about projects & tips. If you go to www.candletech.com the directory from 2009 is still there. Tips on how to do comparitive testing for throw is on the last page ... here's the link:

Wonder if this is a sticky somewhere on this forum and I just haven't found it yet?

I light the candle in a 250 square foot room. When I re-enter the room about 1.5 hours later I judge the throw at that point, then again at 3 hours. If it hits me like a brick - strong throw. If it smells good, medium throw, if it is barely noticeable its trash.

Pretty much what 001 said. My son has final say on how strong it was; because my nose is fried.
