Tammyn Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I am thinking about trying the pillar of bliss wax from natures garden for my tarts. Right now I use 4794 for my tarts and it doesn't seem to have a long hot scent throw. If any of you have tried this wax what do you think about it? Does it have a good cold and hot scent throw? Does it have a creamy look to the finished product? What did you not like about it? TIA! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBeardly Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Everyone one I ask (online) says they've had good luck with it, but I seem to be the anomaly. I can't get any good throw with it. I got feedback from someone tonight who tried quite a few tarts. She said a couple didn't have any hot throw & the others only had a hot throw of between 9' & 13' from the melter, but they weren't very strong over all either. She didn't say how long she melted them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBeardly Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Welllll, I can't count the feedback that I received for my tarts from the most recent tester. Apparently, & this is totally my fault, she didn't know she was supposed to melt them like normal. She was taking tiny bits & then melting them & judging the scent & throw as soon as they melted & then starting over with another scent. Sigh.

Or something else? seems people who I talk to that melt are in one of two camps: the old school Yankee types that put the whole thing on a hot melter, like the tea light type or the scentsy types who expect the size of a piece of bubble gum on the light bulb melter. Knowing which type of melter these people fall into has really helped me to market properly to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm the only one left who hasn't used them. I'd venture to guess maybe 1/2 tsp? It was quite a small amount, at least to me. Plus, she apparently moved on to the next fragrance as soon as one melted; melt, discard, melt, discard, melt, discard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The scentsy clams I have seen are about 3.5 oz divided into 6 or 8 cubes, so a little less than 1/2 oz per, maybe? but the way you describe how she tested sounds a little odd.

CBeardly Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It was odd to me. It was definitely not 1/2oz. Most of what I had sent her were scent shots & little bits were chipped out. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wthomas57 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I like working with PoB and I like the consistency and how it comes out of the mods. However.. the HT is inferior to so many other waxes which is why I stopped using it. Bummer... 'cause i liked working with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Never tried POB but I did try KY tart + votive wax - its come in small grains of wax. I didn't like it, had an odd chemical type smell while melting and looked odd while it was melting - bummer here to because I loved the idea of scoop + melt opposed to cutting chunks into a melt pot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer McCandliss Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I've used pillar of bliss for about a year and have went through about 400 pounds of it. I love it but I did have an issue around Christmas time with it not throwing well. I called NG and it was a new batch so they sent me another box. Nonissues since. My customers love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
