CSI Wick Lab · 7.5 cm Jars
A very deep pool at 10% rose can be fixed by less oil or a smaller wick, and the two tests cost almost the same. Read your candle's heat signals, then run the one route you will only need once: usually wick-first.

wick-first route, six candles at 10% (oil, wax and wicks) · CSI live pricing, September 2026
Quick answers — read this first
My 7.5 cm candle with 10% rose gets a very deep melt pool. Should I reduce the fragrance load or the wick size first? In most cases, the wick: a deep pool is a heat signal, and the wick is the heat source. But both single-change routes cost almost the same (₹749.38 against ₹764.99 for six candles), so the cheapest route is the one you only have to run once. Choose by the signals your candle already shows.

When is wick-first right? When the flame runs above about 5 cm, mushrooms, reaches a full pool very fast, or the jar looks hot. Then pour six candles at 10%: three on your current wick, three one rung down.

When is load-first right? When the flame looks normal and you already doubt 10%: oil on the surface, a planned price cut, or the unstated basis of the wax's "up to 10%". Then pour six on your current wick: three at 10%, three at 8%.

Is 10% allowed? It is the top of British Rose's stated soy range and of CSI 464's "up to 10%". If that 10% means of wax weight, 10% of total (11.11% of wax) is over it; 9% of total satisfies both readings.
The short answer
The two routes: L, load first: current wick, 10% v 8%, 3 candles each. W, wick first: 10% on current wick v one rung down, 3 each. One change each; never both in one candle.
The cost: route L ₹749.38, route W ₹764.99 in oil, wax and wicks; both six candles and about 11 days to a first answer. A wrong first choice costs a second round: about 22 days and ₹1,514.38 in all.
The rule (judgement): heat signals (tall flame, mushrooming, very fast full pool) → wick first. Normal flame, and doubts about the load → load first. No signals at all → check session length and measurement before either.
The honest part: CSI has only one sized rung below C2, and it may be too small for 7.5 cm. CSI has no in-stock 7.5 cm jar. Depth measurement itself is a separate post.

Load first or wick first: two lanes, one change each Six 150 g candles per route, CSI 464, British Rose, your 7.5 cm jars. Timeline in days from pouring (7-day cure and three burn days are our judgement). Both routes cost almost the same; they differ in which world they settle in one round. day 0 day 8 day 11 day 22 day 24 Route L · load first same wick (C2) · 10% v 8% · ₹749.38 3 × C2 at 10% · 3 × C2 at 8% cure 7 days burns 1–3 read depth + width World 1: wick too hot round 2 › depth barely changes at 8% → a wick round is still needed; answer about day 22 World 2: 10% tips it answered day 11; saves 3 g of oil a candle Route W · wick first same load (10%) · C2 v C1 · ₹764.99 3 × C2 at 10% · 3 × C1 at 10% cure 7 days burns 1–3 read depth + width World 1: wick too hot answered day 11 if C1 still reaches the glass World 2: 10% tips it round 2 › C1 shallower but may tunnel → a load round is still needed; about day 22 Solid bar = round 1 (days 0–11). Dashed = the second round a route needs in that world. Jar icons are symbols, not to scale.
The two single-change routes side by side on one calendar. Round 1 takes the same time and nearly the same money either way. What differs is the world each route settles: wick-first settles "the wick is simply too hot" in one round, load-first settles "10% is tipping a borderline wick" in one round, and each needs a second round in the other world. Your candle's signals tell you which world you are probably in. Timings are our judgement; costs are declared worked examples.

Straight answer
I'm using a 7.5 cm jar with 10% rose fragrance and the melt pool becomes very deep. Should I reduce fragrance load or wick size first?
Change one thing, and usually make it the wick. A melt pool much deeper than the common 0.5–1 cm target is a sign of more heat than the jar needs, and the wick is where the heat comes from; a lower load is not a reliable way to make a pool shallower (the common tendency is that a higher load makes a flame smaller or sootier, not hotter). So if your candle also shows heat signals, a flame above about 5 cm, mushrooming, a full pool in well under the rough 3.0 hours for this width, run wick-first: six candles at 10%, three on your current wick (C2 in the worked example) and three one rung down (C1), ₹764.99 in materials. Run load-first (10% v 8% on the same wick, ₹749.38) only when the flame looks normal and you have your own reasons to doubt 10%: oil on the surface, a price you want to cut, or the fact that CSI 464's "up to 10%" does not say whether it means total or wax weight. Both routes cost about the same and take about 11 days to a first answer; the expensive mistake is choosing the route that needs a second round. Do not change both at once, and do not skip the full-life burn once you have a candidate.
One line: both routes cost the same; the cheap one is the one you only run once, and for a deep pool that is usually wick-first.
Wick-first needs: Eco C1, 20 for ₹118.00 (the 10-pack is out of stock on 29 September 2026) and British Rose 100 g (₹342.20) for six candles at 10%. Load-first needs only the oil and your C2. With wax on the shelf, wick-first is ₹460.20.
Eco C1 20 — ₹118.00

Before either route: is the pool really too deep?

Half of all "too deep" pools are too-long sessions or a skewer read in the wrong place.

Many makers use about 0.5–1 cm as a practical depth target (a rule of thumb, not CSI data). A pool that reaches 1.5–2 cm is deeper than that, but depth depends on when and where you measured it: at 4 hours rather than 3, next to the wick rather than near the wall, in the last third of the jar rather than near the top. How to read depth properly, with a marked skewer at each hour of a session and the combined heat rule, is the 1 cm-deep-at-four-hours post; depth that only grows low in the jar is the deep-pool-near-the-bottom post. This page assumes you have done that and the answer is still "too deep".

Free checks before you pour anything
Each takes one burn on the candle you already have · our judgement, labelled
Check If it is the cause Then
Session length Deep only after 4+ hours; normal at 3 A label and instruction question, not a formulation one
Where you dipped Deep beside the wick, normal near the wall Re-measure the way 4226 describes before deciding
Trim and draught Flame tall only when untrimmed or near a fan Trim to about 5–6 mm and burn in still air, then re-measure
How you weighed the oil "10%" was added to the wax weight, not the total Your real load is 9.09% of total, a little under 10%; it does not explain a deep pool, but record it
Jar inside diameter 7.5 cm is the outside; the inside is about 6.8 cm A narrower pool than you think; wick-first becomes more likely (see the 7.5 cm hub)

If the free checks clear, write down three signals from your current candle: trimmed flame height at 1 hour, whether the wick mushrooms, and how long the first full pool took. Those three decide the route. CSI has no in-stock 7.5 cm jar, so the worked example uses your own jar, measured at 44.18 cm² of pool if 7.5 cm is the inside.

Two routes, one change each

Change the load or change the wick. Change both and you have a nicer candle and no idea why.

Both routes hold everything else fixed: CSI 464 from one bag, one jar batch, 150 g fill, pour temperature (the wax page states 80–90°C; follow your own jar's heat wording, pour at the low end and pre-warm clean jars; judgement), the same cure and the same room. Both use three candles per cell, because a depth reading from one candle can be a pour or centring accident.

The two routes side by side
150 g candles, load as % of total weight · 3 candles per cell · worked example
Route L · load first Route W · wick first
Control cell 3 × current wick (C2) at 10%: 15 g oil + 135 g wax 3 × current wick (C2) at 10%: 15 g + 135 g
Test cell 3 × C2 at 8%: 12 g + 138 g 3 × C1 at 10%: 15 g + 135 g
The one change 3 g less oil per candle One rung smaller wick
What it can prove Whether the load contributes to depth on this wick Whether the wick's heat is the cause, at the load you sell
What it cannot prove Whether a smaller wick would be better at either load Whether 8% would have been fine on the current wick
Product change if it wins An 8% rose: ₹9.20 less oil per candle at 1 kg prices A 10% rose on C1: ₹3.54 less per candle in wick

Why not run both changes as a 2 × 2 (10% and 8%, each on C2 and C1)? You can, and the 2 × 2 load and wick test lays it out; it costs more candles and answers more at once. This page is for the maker who wants to spend one round and choose it well. The large-jar version of the same idea, where a sequential plan beats a factorial one because every candle is expensive, is the 10 cm double-wick sequence.

The routes costed in candles, rupees and days

Round one costs the same either way. Round two is where the money goes.
Bill of materials · each route · worked example
British Rose 100 g · CSI 464 1 kg · Eco C2 (10) and C1 (20) · your own jars · CSI live pricing, 29 September 2026
Line Route L · load first Route W · wick first
Candles 6 6
British Rose 81 g = ₹277.18 (19 g left of 100 g) 90 g = ₹307.98 (10 g left of 100 g)
CSI 464 819 g = ₹415.56 810 g = ₹410.99
Wicks 6 × C2 = ₹56.64 3 × C2 + 3 × C1 = ₹46.02
Materials consumed ₹749.38 ₹764.99
Days to a first answer about 11: pour, 7-day cure, 3 burn days about 11
If a second round is needed about 22 days; ₹1,514.38 for both rounds about 22 days; the same ₹1,514.38

Route W costs ₹15.61 more in round 1, from the extra 9 g of oil, less the cheaper C1 wicks. That difference is noise. The real cost is a second round: another 11 days, and money you did not need to spend. From nothing but your jars and C2 wicks, wick-first's cash outlay is ₹967.60. The seven-day cure and three burn days are our judgement: British Rose's page states no cure time in the text we captured, while 25 of CSI's 102 oil pages that do state one say 48–72 hours for soy, and many makers wait about a week. Costs exclude labour, freight, packaging, jars and GST.

Or run both routes at once
Share the control: 3 × C2 at 10%, 3 × C2 at 8%, 3 × C1 at 10%. Nine candles, 126 g of British Rose, 1,224 g of CSI 464: ₹1,126.57 of materials, and one round of about 11 days instead of the risk of two. You need a second bottle and a second bag (cash ₹1,687.40). If Diwali stock is waiting on this answer, it is the fastest way; if not, choose one route by the signals below.

Which route answers more: four possible worlds

You do not know which world you are in. Your candle's signals tell you which is likelier.
What each route shows in each world (tendencies, labelled)
"World" = the true cause of the deep pool · the signals column is what often goes with it, not a rule
World Signals that often go with it Route L shows Route W shows Rounds to an answer
1 · The wick is too hot for this jar Flame above about 5 cm, mushrooming, full pool well inside the rough 3.0 h, hot-looking glass Little change at 8% C1 shallower and still reaches the glass W: 1 · L: 2
2 · 10% tips a borderline wick Flame in range; depth creeping up; oil on the surface; loads near the ceiling 8% noticeably shallower C1 shallower but tunnels L: 1 · W: 2
3 · Both Heat signals and oil on the surface Partly shallower Partly shallower Either: 2, or run both at once
4 · Neither No signals; depth only after long sessions No change No change The free checks, not a test

In our judgement world 1 is the likelier explanation for a pool that is very deep rather than slightly deep, because depth follows heat and the wick sets the heat. That is why the default on this page is wick-first. World 2 is real, but the evidence that a lower load makes a pool shallower is weaker than the evidence that a smaller wick does; it is a tendency some makers report, and CSI has no data on it. So load-first earns the first round only when the flame gives no heat signals and you had other reasons to question 10%.

Mistake: reading route W as a pass because C1 is shallower. Why it misleads: a smaller wick will almost always make a shallower pool. The question is whether it still reaches the glass. In a 7.5 cm jar, C1 may not. Fix: judge route W on two readings together: depth back inside about 0.5–1 cm and a ring that closes by burn 3 (the catch-up score in the 7.5 cm hub). C1 shallow but tunnelling means the answer sits between C1 and C2, where CSI lists no sized wick: then load becomes the lever, or ask us about another supplier's in-between size.

10% is the ceiling, not a target

Sitting on the ceiling leaves no room for a weighing error, and the ceiling's basis is not stated.

British Rose's page says "candles (up to 10% soy, up to 6% paraffin)"; CSI 464's page says "Fragrance Load Up to 10%". Two ceilings, both at 10%, and the lower governs. These are formulation limits, not regulatory ones, and the maximum is not the best-performing load. The wax page does not say whether 10% means of total candle weight or of wax weight. CSI's convention is total weight, but the conservative reading is of wax weight:

Load basis at the top of the range
Of total → of wax: t ÷ (100 − t) × 100 · declared
Load, % of total weight Same load, % of wax weight Oil in a 150 g candle Within a 10% ceiling read as…
10% 11.11% 15 g total: yes (at it) · wax: no
9% 9.89% 14 g both readings
8% 8.70% 12 g both readings

So there is a formulation argument for testing below 10% that has nothing to do with the deep pool: at 10% of total you are over the wax ceiling on the cautious reading. If you run route L, run it with 8% or 9% as the test cell; if you run route W, consider running both of its cells at 9% (14 g per candle) so whichever wick wins is approved at a load that satisfies both readings. Per candle at 1 kg prices, British Rose costs ₹46.02 at 10%, ₹41.42 at 9% and ₹36.82 at 8%; 10% to 8% saves ₹920.40 on 100 candles.

Argued against our own interest: the load-first route, if it wins, means you buy a fifth less rose for every candle you make. We still recommend it only where the signals point to it, because the wrong route costs you a second round, and a candle that is under-wicked at 8% is not a saving.

The order we would run it, step by step

Free checks, then signals, then one route, then the whole candle.
1
Clear the free checksSession length, where you dipped, trim, draught, how the oil was weighed, the inside diameter. One burn on the candle you have.
2
Read the three signalsTrimmed flame height at 1 hour, mushrooming yes or no, time to the first full pool. Any heat signal: wick-first. None, and you doubt 10%: load-first. Unsure and short of time: both at once (nine candles).
3
Pour six candles the same dayWeigh the oil into the pot on a scale that reads single grams. Label the bases. One bag of wax, one jar batch, one pour temperature.
4
Cure, then burn three 3-hour sessionsStill air, trimmed to about 5–6 mm, within sight. At the end of each session record depth (the way 4226 describes), the ring on the glass, trimmed flame height and any carbon.
5
Decide with both readingsA cell wins if at least two of three candles are back inside about 0.5–1 cm of depth and reach the glass by burn 3, with a flame in the practical 2.5–5 cm range (our judgement).
6
Burn the winner to the bottomThree candles through the full life, stopping at about 1 cm left, with the glass observed, never touched. A 10 cm or double-wick version of this problem belongs to the larger-jar clusters.

What each route needs

Four items, chosen on page statements, price and stock on 29 September 2026. CSI publishes no wick-performance data, so nothing here is ranked on burn results. Candle counts use 150 g: 12 g of oil at 8%, 15 g at 10%.

1
fragrance oil · floral (rose) · the oil in the question
British Rose Fragrance Oil
The page describes "fresh, dewy rose petals with subtle green undertones and a soft floral finish" and states "candles (up to 10% soy, up to 6% paraffin)". So 10% is the top of this oil's stated soy range as well as CSI 464's. No cure time, vanillin figure or wick advice in the text we captured. Every size is in stock on 29 September 2026. The 100 g (₹3.42 a gram) covers one route with 19 g (L) or 10 g (W) left; the 1 kg is ₹3.07 a gram, cheaper still, but not before the answer is in.

Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (Flakes Form) For Container Candles
The page states "Fragrance Load Up to 10%" and "Pour Temperature 80°C – 90°C", and claims "Strong scent throw (both cold and hot)". It does not say whether its 10% is of total or of wax weight. Flat at ₹0.51 a gram from 1 kg to 10 kg; one 1 kg bag covers one route. Argued against our own interest: if you want to run a rose above 10%, do not "fix" it by buying a higher-ceiling wax on the side: Luxury Soy Wax Chunks states up to 13%, but changing wax restarts every wick result you have.

The CSI principle
When two routes cost the same, choose the one you only run once.
A deep pool is heat, and the wick sets the heat: wick-first unless the flame is calm and the load is already in doubt. One change per round, and the full life before production.
"Both roads cost the same. The expensive one is the road you have to drive twice."

Why trust this guide

CandleMakingSuppliesIndia sells the oil, wicks and wax named here, and does not sell finished candles. This page still says that one route ends with you buying less of our rose, that our only rung below C2 may be too small for your jar, and that a higher-ceiling wax is not a shortcut.

Every price was verified on CSI's live store on 29 September 2026. Stock was checked per size: the Eco C1 10-pack is out of stock on that date and is flagged; every other size shown is in stock. British Rose's load wording and CSI 464's ceiling, pour and throw wording are quoted from the product pages; where a page is silent in the text we captured, we say so.

The route rule, the signals, the four worlds, the 7-day cure, the three-burn window and all timings are our judgement or worked examples; depth and flame ranges are commonly cited rules of thumb, not CSI data; CSI publishes no wick-performance data.

Frequently asked questions

Does reducing fragrance load make the melt pool shallower?
Sometimes, but it is not reliable: some makers report it, CSI has no data on it, and the common tendency is that a higher load makes a flame smaller, not hotter. A smaller wick is the more direct way to reduce depth. Test one change at a time.
How deep should a candle melt pool be?
Many makers use about 0.5–1 cm as a practical target, measured near the wall after a normal session. It is a rule of thumb, not a standard; depth also grows late in the jar and in long sessions.
Is 10% fragrance load too high for soy wax?
It depends on the wax's stated ceiling and its basis. CSI 464 states up to 10% and British Rose up to 10% in soy, so 10% is at the limit. If the ceiling means of wax weight, 10% of the total candle is slightly over it; 9% satisfies both readings.
Should I change the wick or the fragrance load first?
For a deep pool with a tall flame, mushrooming or a very fast full pool, change the wick first. For a deep pool with a normal flame and doubts about the load, test the load first. Never change both in the same candle.
What wick is smaller than Eco C2?
Eco C1 is CSI's only sized, tabbed wick below C2. In a 7.5 cm jar it may not reach the glass; if C1 tunnels and C2 runs too deep, try a lower load within range or ask on WhatsApp.
How many test candles do I need to fix a deep melt pool?
Six for one route (two cells of three), or nine to test load and wick at once while sharing the control. Then three more through the full life before production.

About this guide: part of CSI's cluster on 7.5–8 cm jars with a single wick (4221–4240). It owns one decision: for a 7.5 cm candle with 10% British Rose and a very deep pool, whether to run load-first (10% v 8% on the same wick) or wick-first (one rung down at 10%), costed in candles, rupees and days, with the signals that choose between them and the load-basis note at CSI 464's 10% ceiling.

Non-price figures: load is a percentage of total candle weight (150 g at 10% = 15 g oil + 135 g wax; at 8% = 12 g + 138 g); conversions to % of wax weight are declared. The 7.5 cm inside reading, 150 g fill, C2 starting wick, 7-day cure and three burn days are worked-example choices. Ceilings as the pages state (British Rose up to 10% in soy, CSI 464 up to 10%, pour 80–90°C): formulation limits, not regulatory ones; the wax page does not state its basis. Depth (about 0.5–1 cm), flame (about 2.5–5 cm) and melt-pool times are commonly cited rules of thumb. The route rule, signals and worlds are editorial judgement. Costs exclude labour, freight, packaging, jars and GST. Diwali 8 November 2026 is a calendar fact.
