Welcome back, in this video I’ll be testing 2 different ECO 4 & 6 wicks to see what’s the best fit on a 2.5” diameter container. Surprising ending, so watch the whole video. Please don’t forget to subscribe to this channel and to my other one Healthy Living with Michael (link above). Thanks, Michael
I have been in the testing stages of candle making and I am soooo grateful about the wax calculating app you talked about!! Thank you!!! PS. Love your videos.
You are so welcome!
What formulas do you use? From water weight to wax and oil ?
TBH I use an app in my iPhone to formulate for me, it's call Wax Calculator.
What do you recommend for soy candles with embeds on top( succulents). I tried so many but I can't find the good one. It's 4"jar diameter.
I think your best bet for such a wide diameter would be to double wick, follow the manufacturer's instruction, but I would try by using double CDN-3 place an inch apart.
@@CandleRomance thank you so much. I tried the htp wicks -all sizes (3wicks per container) , and I was thinking of buying the eco wicks, to try. Is there a reason why you recommend the CDN wicks instead ? Thanks for your help
@@sarah-leechaar1822 I work with SoyBliss wax and I find it a perfect match every time I use the CDN wicks. It's the only wick series that has given me the flame I need on my candles. Now, I can only recommend the wick series that has worked for me, everyone has different results depending on the environment too (too cold, or too hot) drafts, etc.
I thought the supplier who sold you the jars and wax tell you what wick to choose??? Is that not correct???
I bought the vessels at dollar tree. Candle supplies only give you a guideline on which wick to use depending on the wax and diameter of the vessel. Most of the time the recommended size is not the ideal wick, but it's a starting point to keep testing.
May I ask what’s the benefit on adding coconut oil on the candle thank you
I did a video on adding coconut oil to soy wax where I demonstrate.
@@CandleRomance can you sent me the link of it
