Hive & Honey's own wick test of this wax (the seller that publishes the chart) for 3.13 in jars

Chart wording

Hive & Honey's own wick test of this wax (the seller that publishes the chart; 3 1/8 in inner diameter at the top, 9% fragrance (intro says 8-9%), 2 week cure, Libbey Heavy Rocks Base jar): of the four wicks AL 110 "did the best (this and the AL100)"; she suggests about 7-8% fragrance because these wicks run a tad hot, and earlier wrote that AL 100 would probably be too small and AL 120 and 140 sooted.

What they saw

One buyer on Hive & Honey's page says AB21 plays nicely with less viscous fragrance oils, but with thicker oils she may have to change the wick series she normally uses. No wick sizes, jar or fragrance load are given, and she went back to Titan 52114.2

Only one maker has reported this. Test it before you trust it.

Problems makers report

  • Soot at the rim from LX wicks

    What makers do: LX 14 gave "a ton of soot", LX 18 lots of soot and LX 16 looked better in the Libbey jar; LX 18 was liked in Coastal bone china vessels.6

    Read the fix: Why Is My Candle Making Black Smoke or Soot?

  • A wick that runs hot or soots at the end

    What makers do: AL 120 and 140 sooted at the rim, AL 110 ran a tad hot (she suggests 7-8% fragrance), CDN 8 burned hotter at the end and CDN 5 had soot starting near the end. CDN 6 and 7 ended up best.35

    Read the fix: Why Is My Candle Making Black Smoke or Soot?

  • Wax stuck on the sides when the wick is too small

    What makers do: AL 100 will probably be too small, with a bit of hang-up on the sides.3

Notes from the sources

  • Hive & Honey's product page contradicts itself. Its maker's notes say mostly coconut wax blended with food-grade paraffin and soy; its description calls it a coconut and paraffin blend with a melt point of 120 F and a max 10% fragrance load, while its spec line gives a 122-127 F melt point. Fragrance: the maker's notes say it handles 8-10% (8-9% best) and the heating instructions on the page say the maximum is 8-10%, but the page's step 4 says the maximum is 8-12%. Pour: average 180-190 F in the description, pour hot at 190-200 F in the instructions. Cure: good after 3 days and better at 1 week or more (description), 1 week (instructions), 1-2 weeks (step 4). No Accu-Blend data sheet was found.2
  • Hive & Honey's fragrance load is written "between and 8-9%" in the test intros (the first number is missing) and 9% in its AL table. For AL 110 it suggests about 7-8% fragrance; for CDN 6 it plans to retest at 8%.35
  • Its AB21 table equals its Calmaison #9 table in the CDN cells (2.75 to 3 in: CDN 6, 7; 3 to 3.5 in: CDN 7, 8, 10, 12) and has no Aroma Lite line.1
  • Hive & Honey also tested other vessels it sells (a Haven ceramic tumbler, a 3-wick ceramic, an Heirloom tumbler, Coastal bone china) but gave no widths. In the 3-wick ceramic it preferred two CDN 4 over two CDN 3; in the Haven tumbler CDN 7 and 8 may need CDN 10 or a double wick.56
  • The Zinc test was only halfway when read; its last line says she is "loving Zinc wicks with this wax".4
  • Hive & Honey's summary table for this wax lists CDN as "Cdn 6 & 7", LX and Zinc as testing, Aroma Lite as curing and the rest as scheduled, in a Libbey HRB jar at 8-9%.7
  • Tip from Ark & Dove Candle Co.: when you test a new jar, also test a Whisper Booster wick one size up and one size down from the Ultimate size. Let your burn results tell you which way to go.8
