rjdaines Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have two FO that are clogging my HTP (an other) wicks; Cinnamon Buns and Dragon's Blood. The first is from Peaks and the other from CS. I've gone up 3 sizes and still clogs. I have CD, ECO, and LX available to try. Does anyone have a solution? The FOs are very dark.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Please share, what type wax and what percentage of FO you are using? And, what size wicks did you test so far. Hard to guide you if we don't knwo what you've specifically tried so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdaines Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Wax is 4630 and FO load is 7%. Guess I am asking if people have found a particular type of wick which is less prone to clogging than some others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I use zinc in my 4630 containers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdaines Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Looks like I solved the issue with C.S. Dragon's Blood. I knew I had to wick up but didn't realize how much. Normally my Status Jars (12 oz) use an HTP-83 wick, I had to go to an HTP-1212. Test burn in progress but looking ans smelling good. Order BC Dragon's Blood for a comparison. Will have to try a 1212 with Cinnamon Buns next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPacNW Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I will sometimes drop my fragrance oil load a half to full percent. In the long run on a 3-4 hour burn...no difference is noted in throw..but it allows me to keep a wick down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
