Dolphin146 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I made about 10 packs of 20 incense Just to try out at a show I did over the weekend Well I sold them all. I use the wooden sticks. My customers like them better. I use FO"S from JS, CS, Peaks and NG and SOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin146 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I got my sticks from Save on Scents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The last incense sticks I ordered were from Madina and they were horrible. I ended up throwing 1/4 of them away. They were cheap and I guess you get what you pay for. I just ordered a small batch from Wellington yesterday to see what they are like. I will let you know.

pcbrook Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 PCbrook thanks please let me know how they are.I just ordered the starter pack from SOS.Can you let me know how those are? I just got my order from Wellington. Love the super fast shipping but I am thinking they buy their incense sticks from the same supplier as Madina. Went through a bundle of 100 and threw a few away. Not as many as Madina's though but a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kforbs126 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Just got my kit from SOS. Sticks definitely look really nice. They look consistently the same size. Shipping was a bit slow but I am on the west coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kforbs126 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Does anyone know a good place to order just DPG? I got the kit and I have a feeling doing the 2 to 1 ratio I'm gonna run out quick. Is this something that can be picked up locally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I do a 50/50 mix and they burn perfect. I got my dpg from save on scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforbs126 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Is it normal for these bunches of 100 to not be close to 100? I just opened 4 bunches and none had more than 86 in them. If they are all like that, it's a good shortage. I got 10 bunches of 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kforbs126 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 I have ran into the same problem Was is just with the SOS sticks or is this common with everyone? It really sucks. I thought I counted wrong at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hmm! You know I never really counted the bundles. I guess I just took their word for it. I will have to pay more attention to it next time I order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 3 packs and ended up with 265 plus about 10 I threw away so 25 short in 3 packs. Which does add up eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's not them but whomever they are getting them from overseas don't have good quality control.I'm still trying to figure out how much I would charge for these and what size packs to put them in. 10 pack, 20 pack, 12 pack. I've seen all these sizes on etsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
