I've recently been playing around with soy, using CB advanced wax. I'm using 6 oz travel-type tins and used a HTP 62 wick, as recommended by WSP for those containers.
I poured at different temps, just to see how it worked out. Some at 130, some at 120 and some when the mixture turned a bit slushy and looked like it was on its way to solidifying.
I used FO's that got great reviews for their throw, and did test burns at 2 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours post-pour and unless you're right on top of the candle you can't smell it at all. In one of them you can't smell it even then.
Any suggestions? They have a really strong cold throw, but nothing hot. I do think the wick may need to be a bit bigger, b/c they're not burning fully to the edge, maybe a 1/16th of an inch (guess here) around the whole tin.
