I use Joy and love it, and I am in Florida too! Yes, the shipping kills me, but I have tried other waxes, and for me, Joy is the best. I have also tested every kinda wick you can think of, including LX's. I have found the low smoke zinc burn the cleanest. No soot on the jar. I LOVE MY JOY WAX! On a side note tho....I am venturing into feathered palm pillars. Anyone know what wicks work good with candlewic feathering palm?
