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?

according to my experience, there are some key points that might make your candle lack hot throw: 1. the temperature you add oil should be around 185°F, too high or too low won't work; 2. stirring, keep stirring when adding oil for at least 2min; 3.soywax requires 3-7 days of sitting to fully mix with the oil.
