Soy wax wooden candle wick issues

[Soywaxgirl]

Hi all, I’m relatively new to candle making and hoping for your help! I’m using GoldenWax444 soy wax and Escentscia Style fragrance oils (FOs) at 6% (24ml FO to 400ml wax) in 40cl glass vessels with Lumetique XL wooden wicks. I add the FO at 65c and also pour at 65c (as advised at a workshop and also in a candle-making book). I have conducted a burn test across 3 different FOs and after a couple of minutes, the flames all went out and when re-lit will not burn for more than a few seconds. There appears to be a slight sink hole near the wick, which was not visible before lighting. I am wondering if I should reduce the fragrance load to 5%? I did a burn test on the same wax/wick/vessel combo without any FO and the burn was fine, so I don’t believe it’s a wick issue. After many attempts at re-lighting and a little wick trim, I have managed to get one burning nicely, but the other 2 won’t light. Any tips on optimum wooden wick length/fragrance load with soy wax/pour temp? I’ve attached some photos, any tips would be much appreciated as I’m desperate to get these burning right! Thanks

It is most likely extinguishing due to the sink hole. You will need to poke relief holes, do a repour and try again. It could also be that the wick is too small, and you will need to wick up.
Unfortunately I don't work with soy, nor wood wicks, so that is the best/only advice I can give.
