Wick Testing Coco Soy / EC 26 Wax & Crackle Wood Wicks

I'm currently testing Coco Soy / EC26 candle wax with SINGLE Crackle Wood Wicks.  I'm hoping that this will be helpful to some when narrowing down which wicks to use.  Feel free to adjust based on your wax/vessel/fragrance oil combo.  I'm using a vessel that's 3-1/8" inner diameter at the top, so if yours is smaller, you will want to wick down.  It's best to test a couple wick sizes in a few wick series or brands to see what you like the best!  Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any questions at all.  I'm here to help. 

About Crackle Wood Wicks...
Wooden wicks are very easy to use and add a unique appeal to finished candles. Our wooden wicks are designed to burn cleanly, promoting a full melt pool and excellent scent throw. They come with stainless steel custom tabs, which prevent any wax discoloration. Wood wicks are known for their unique ‘crackle’ when burning in finished candles.

I'm using a 3-1/8" jar and the wicks I'm using are Crackle Single .02/.375 (SMALL), Crackle Single .02/.5 (MEDIUM), Crackle Single .02/.625 (LARGE), Crackle Single .03/.375 (SMALL), Crackle Single .03/.5 (MEDIUM), and Crackle Single .03/.625 (LARGE).  I'm using our new Rain Barrel fragrance oil at 9% fragrance load.  I will allow it to cure for 2 weeks before testing them. I will keep you updated! The other items I used when testing are the high temp wick stickers and our candle wick trimmers.

If you've found a combination that works for you, please feel free to share your results below.

Results

Wax Type	Vessel Size	Wicks	Fragrance Load	Results
EC26	3-1/8"	Crackle Single .02/.375	9%	Keeping an eye on this one, although I think it will be too small of a wick.  **About 1/2 way through this one.  Still keeping an eye on it.  Not sure that the crackle single wicks will work well with this wax. The booster is probably better.
EC26	3-1/8"	Crackle Single .02/.5	9%	Keeping an eye on this one.  About 1/2 way through this candle.  Not sure that the crackle single wicks will work well with this wax. The booster is probably better.
EC26	3-1/8"	Crackle Single .02/.625	9%	I'm about half way through this candle and the wax is starting to look dirty.   Not sure that the crackle single wicks will work well with this wax. The booster is probably better.
EC26	3-1/8"	Crackle Single .03/.375	9%	This is about 1/3 of the way through and the top of the vessel is starting to soot.   Not sure that the crackle single wicks will work well with this wax. The booster is probably better.
EC26	3-1/8"	Crackle Single .03/.5	9%	This is way too much wick for this size jar.  Not sure that the crackle single wicks will work well with this wax. The booster is probably better.
EC26	3-1/8"	Crackle Single .03/.625	9%	This is way too much wick for this size jar.  It's a mini torch!  Not sure that the crackle single wicks will work well with this wax. The booster is probably better.
