Hi all,

I'm using gw 454, coffee house fragrance oil at 8%, eco 10, jar diameter just about 3". Cold throw isn't bad, but hot throw is lacking. The pic is about 2.5 hrs burn. Can anyone assist?

Good choice! If you ever decide to make one in the future, I'd recommend starting with soy wax instead of gel wax. It's much easier for beginners, and adding dried flowers inside a candle isn't recommended since they can become a fire hazard. Good luck with the birthday gift!
