My attempts in the past even when I've fed them have not amounted to anything significant compared to my devotional work to spirits or candle magick (also involving spirits). Is there some secret to to constructing them that I'm not aware of beyond the basics? The closest thing to success I've had has been with honey or sweeting jar's but those have limited uses. Anyone care to shed a little light?
From my experience it's not so much the form that makes it work but the respect of the modality and the logic behind what you do.
If you make a charm from a strict hoodoo perspective, your link to the tradition + the combination of herbs + the ritual itself + the partnership with the land and the ancestors will make it work.
If you a charm from a wiccan perspective, the all ritual, your connection to the God and the Goddess etc will place you on the egregore and that will power your spell.
Now if you are more eclectic, chaos or energy based, the success will depend on how you programm the elements of the charm and/or how you consider it.
You may have to call for one element to charge it.
You may have a more animistic approach and talk your charm.
You may have to create a thoughtform/servitor and your charm will host.
You may empower the charm yourself

There's a logic behind it.... Jar magick tends to be slow and long lasting. If you wanna manifest something quick, direct.... That's not the best sort of magick to help.
If you want to enchant someone to be nice to you. The results maybe be stable but the effect will manifest on a long term.
If you candle magick or incense, the magick go in the air and has to reach the target to produce a spark of influence.
Maybe you need to couple your jars, bag with candle, or recharge them every week with rum, candle light or a particular incense.

Well this is where I'm at. I've pretty much noticed that without the aid of spirits much magick that people do not involving them directly lack's significant boost in power. Even the power people are able imbue into small objects like this is usually developed first with the aid of spirits whatever they maybe. So trying to take spirit out of the equation seems to be the primary problem here with this type of work.

Yep that's my experience as well. I did a sweetening spell on my old supervisor. To this day, even though we no longer work together, he's still fond of me. Not at all what I intended and the jar is long gone but it all worked out in the end.
