I have made some candles and am conducting my burn tests. I am using a container that is 2 3/4 diameter. I made 2 one with Eco wick 8 and one with Eco wick 10. Using GB464 and fragranced at 9% and coloring with liquid dye. I see no difference in the burn between the 8 and 10 in any of the scents. So now what? Which do I use?
 
Don't judge a candle on the first second or third burn burn it all the way down to 1/2 inch wax left in the jar and than decide which one is the better.
 
Also I have notice on a few of them the Eco8 burns faster then the Eco10. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
 
Could be possible that the supplier got the sizes mixed up since they are so close in diameter and size.
