Wick Testing Titan Wax Natural 5230 & ECO Wicks
About ECO Wicks...
ECO wick is constructed from natural flat cotton threads interwoven with paper threads that produce a rigid structure for easy pouring. The consistent flame and slight curl of ECO wicks work well with natural waxes and ensures an even burn. ECO wicks are lead and zinc-free.
I'm using a 3-1/8" jar and the wicks I'm using are ECO 10 (single wick), and ECO 12 (single wick). I'm using Pumpkin Souffle 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 bowtie wick centering bars and our candle wick trimmers.
If you've found a combination that works for you, please feel free to share your results below.

Titan Natural Soy 5230 | 3-1/8" @ Top, Tapers to 2.5" @ Bottom | ECO 10 | 9% Pumpkin Souffle | This was similar, but there was a tiny bit less soot on the top of the vessel. I will test an ECO 8 to see how that does. |
