She didn't say this was always the case, but for the most part you do get what you pay for with FOs. Sure there is the occasional exception, but frankly, I haven't even seen a 6 dollar FO except maybe the Scent Event. She doesn't *know* what is good or she wouldn't be posting, so not sure what you meant by that. Anyway, read the posts already here, there are many people asking for help on paraffin and soy and you will learn a lot from what is here and the common pitfalls. If you go with soy, I recommend buying from a company that specializes in soy compatible FOs (JBN, FOH, Millcreek, Scented Bean, Snowtop, etc) or have already tested them in soy, you'll have much better luck and save some money. good luck
