Great jars!
Sarah 2024-07-25

These jars are great! They hold a large volume of wax, I use 464 fill up at around 17.5 oz of wax and I use eco 10 double wick. That combination works best for me but I do definitely recommend these jars my customers love them

I use 464 and CD 20 works best for this jar imo.

Love these jars but
Nav@Sagensabr 2024-06-26

I am struggling to find a good wick for these jars. I have tried with series CD 6,14,26 and ECO 2,6,16 both single and double wick and none of them seem to work properly. The melt pool is either too deep and jar gets too hot or there is tunneling and the wax doesn’t come off the inside walls. Please help🙏🏽

Pretty for a large jar candle

I'd submit a photo if I could but I use these with the gold lids and think they are so chic and beautiful. I will say the glass was thinner then expected the first time I picked them up but I have not broken one yet.

I double wick these. I wish candle science would sell nice looking glass containers that held 12 ounces of wax. I'd buy those too.

Super excited to use these but wicking is stressing me out.
Kimberly 2024-01-03

Excited about added this jar size/style to my product line but wicking is very discouraging. The jar is gorgeous and light weight. This will make a beautiful addition to my collection. I use Coconut Apricot wax and really want to double wick. I've tried double cd5, cd8, I have Zinc and premier wicks on hand. I feel like I am starting from scratch pending lost on wicks just for this single jar. I bought 3 cases so I can't turn back.
