2 x CD 4 ran too hot; moved to 2 x CD 3 One maker's report
What they saw

A reader on Hive & Honey's EC26 CD test page says a single wick did not work for her, two CD 4 wicks gave a strong hot throw but the jar got too hot, and she was testing two CD 3 wicks next. She gives no jar width or result for the CD 3s.3

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

Problems makers report

  • Wax left on the jar sides (hang-up) when the wick is too small

    What makers do: Hive & Honey sized up until the hang-up stopped: CDN 6, Premier 735 and 740, HPSP 42 to 48 and ECO 8 all left wax on the sides in its tests.9874

  • Soot at the jar rim and a jar that gets too hot when the wick is too big

    What makers do: Step down a size or two (LX 18, ECO 12, HTP 105, Premier 755 and 760 and Aroma Lite 140 and up all sooted). The LX test author also suggested 8% fragrance instead of 9% to cut soot.645811

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

  • No full melt pool until about halfway down the jar, so a first-burn check can mislead

    What makers do: Hive & Honey says to check that the melt pool is 140 to 160 F, that the jar is not too hot to touch and that no soot forms at the rim, rather than expect a full pool on the first burns.1

  • Wax pulls away from the jar sides if poured too cool

    What makers do: Windy Point says do not let it cool below 160 F before pouring; it says jars do not need pre-heating.12

  • Wicks drowned in a three-layer, dyed candle

    What makers do: One maker burned 2 x LX 10 in a 13.5 oz rocks glass and said the wicks 'drowned like crazy' and that the dye made a difference. She uses a wickless test so wicks can be swapped; no fix is stated.14

    Read the fix: Why Does My Wick Keep Drowning or Going Out?

  • Zinc wicks too small, too big or a double wick that burns down too fast

    What makers do: In Hive & Honey's Zinc test a 40-20-18 (made by mistake) was too small with hang-up on the sides, 60-44-18 was too large with a lot of soot, double 36-24-24 was overwicked and burned too fast, and double 34-40 burned down before any single wick. She picked a single 51-32-18.16

  • Single crackle wood wicks are too big for a 3 1/8 in jar

    What makers do: Hive & Honey found Crackle Single .03/.5 "way too much wick" and .03/.625 "a mini torch", .02/.625 left the wax looking dirty and .03/.375 sooted at the top; she wrote that the crackle single wicks may not work well with this wax and the booster is probably better.17

Notes from the sources

  • BatchLab found no Calwax data sheet for EC26. Every number on this card comes from a reseller, and the melt point, pour and add temperatures come from one reseller page.12
  • Windy Point says 12% is the most the wax holds and 8% is enough. Hive & Honey's wick tests all use 9%.123
  • Windy Point states no cure time. Hive & Honey's instructions page says to cure 1-2 weeks, and it waited 14 days before every test. One maker's hot throw was "amazing" at 8 days, and she said she will wait the full two weeks next time.1218313
  • Windy Point describes it as coconut and soy waxes with just enough food-grade paraffin for body and stability. It does not name the maker on the page.12
  • Hive & Honey's wick chart for this wax lists the same sizes as its Coconut 83 chart (one Zinc size differs and only this chart has wood wicks), so the two charts are one table under two names.1
  • NorthWood's blog says HPSP wicks are made to burn slower than other types and lists EC 26 as a coconut blend they suit, but it gives no sizes there. NorthWood's wick chart (version 5, December 2023) does have an EC-26 column with sizes for 2 to 4 in containers; those rows are in this file.1519
  • One maker's video (Scented Hibiscus) calls this wax Virgin Coconut Soy, which is also the name of a different Makesy wax.13
  • Hive & Honey's CD test of this wax is not finished: two CD 2 wicks looked good early, two CD 3 wicks ran too hot, and its summary page says the CD wicks are being retested.32
  • The wax's two charts differ. For a 3 to 3.5 in jar NorthWood's EC-26 column lists CD 10-14 and Hive & Honey lists CD 8-12; NorthWood also lists more series (Rigid Curl, Ultra Core, Superior, HELIX, P Series). NorthWood gives container diameter without saying inside or outside.191
  • Hive & Honey's instructions differ from Windy Point's. Hive & Honey says heat to 200-220 F, add fragrance and pour hot at about 190 F, with a maximum of 8-12% (it uses 8-9%). Windy Point says add fragrance at 180-200 F, pour at 160-170 F and not below 160 F, with a maximum of 12%.1812
  • Readers' comments on Hive & Honey's Zinc test page ask questions (for example how to blend coconut and soy) and give no results of their own, so no maker report is counted from them.16
  • 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.21
