  1. Super Helpful!!! Hopefully this really works out. I'm still working my way through my current wax but hopefully will be able to order some new by this winter.
  2. This really stinks!! I ordered everything through Peak. I loved that their scents came in amber bottles.. Everywhere else I've tried sends them in white see throughish bottles.. This grinds my gears! Have to redo all of the testing! Find new scents, change the website information.. argh!
  3. I hope nothing happens to Peak. I'm going to be up a creek without my boat or paddle! I'm still working through my last 50lbs of Ecosoya wax and wanted to buy some recently from Peak but as others have noted, they are out of almost everything. Just not sure now who or what soy waxes to get and from whom now that Peak seems to be out of stock all the time
  4. Welcome! I used to lurk as well but have found being a member is more fun!
  5. So one question I have using the presto pot. Do you add the vybar into the pouring pot or into the presto pot? If the pouring pot, how do you get it to melt and blend well with the soy wax? Seeing so many say that the magic wax melter people are good, i'm strongly considering ordering from them.
  6. Vanulay! thats the one I'm thinking of! For the life of me I couldn't remember it.. Thanks Jcandleattic!
  7. This likely has been asked a thousand times but I can't seem to find the right thread. Other than eBay and etsy, there was another supplier of silicone molds that always came highly recommended from here. I'm looking to get a few molds to try those out along with the clamshells. (now that things are slowing down with my main job, I can finally finish out my website and try new things!) Thanks in advance everyone!
  8. thats odd. I bought an entire case. This is likely due to a misconfiguration of the discount. I'd send them an email and point it out.
  9. Hopefully I don't get yelled at for this but here goes: I own my own web hosting business/dedicated server space. Being technical minded, I used Presta Shop software to create my own website on my server. I utilize Paypal for payment processing so no customer credit card data is stored or passes through my servers. Presta Shop was somewhat easy to configure and get operational. The administrative interface is powerful however it does have some points that could be better, especially when it comes to product configurations. I like how powerful PrestaShop is and prefer it over SquareSpace to be honest, and since I own my own server, it's cheaper than utilizing Square. Good luck !
  10. What's your name? James How old are you? 32 (getting so old ) Where do you live? Indianapolis Metro Area How long have you been making candles/soap/whatever? About 5 years now, only candles/wax melts. Only recently started tinkering with candles, wax melts have been my primary focus How did you get started making candles/soap/whatever? Got tired of paying to the Yank and decided I could do it cheaper myself. Needless to say it hasn't been cheaper but it certainly has been more fun. Are you married? Any kids? good god no. and HECK NO.. not a fan of the little terrorists. GET OFF MY LAWN YOU PESKY BRATS! If candle/Soap making isn't your primary job, what do you do? I work in public safety. Anything else we should know? A geek, a video gamer, and a photographer!
  11. So these clamshells have worked out well now that I've used a few hundred of them. They are slightly smaller than the ones you get from Peak and do require a cut back in the weight of wax melted to about 15.6oz to ensure no overflow. Will certainly be using them again for my next order! I would recommend them for anyone looking for a bulk supplier.
