How low did you go on the HTP wicks?  I have noticed that the soy/paraffin blends need to be wicked down 2 sizes from what you normally use in soy.  If you are not having luck, maybe you could try zincs in it.

There are also 3 other wicks in the HTP series that are smaller than the HTP83. HTP73, HTP62, and HTP52.  Would be good if you could just order a sample packet of them to try.  But it can't hurt to try the zincs as well, but they are a much cooler burning wick.
