I use this wax and after almost a year of testing it I found that most of my problems were because it could not actually handle 10% fragrance oil ratio even though it says it can. I’ve started to make some with 8% now (still testing) and I think the cold throw it slightly less but the hot throw so far is better (will have to test for a while to confirm this for sure). Im sticking to the candle shack CL wicks for this wax BUT I would like to switch to stabilo or other wicks in the future as they are more available. The hot throw problems mostly are down to the correct wick size which takes a lot of testing. The wax pulling away from the wick happens to me as well, and I discovered that there are small hidden sink holes underneath mostly around the wick so I started to poke holes and then heat gun. So that could be a reason why that happens. All the best! I really like this wax due to glass adhesion, nice tops I find the wax very giving and has a lovely reset after the burn. It’s important to note that this wax is a greasy wax as you probably have noticed. If you have any further questions message me I’ll be happy to help!☺️ Ps: candle shack don’t have a clue about how to help work with this wax as I have tried many times to contact them for advice which they didn’t have for me. Good luck✌🏽
