  1. Have you asked hubby if he noticed a difference? You can try sniffing coffee grounds when you're in fear of candle nose. I've also read on the boards that certain drafts throughout your home will cause throw to linger differently. In addition, some scents just linger differently. Maple brown sugar (Peaks) for instance, lingers incredibly, even after its put out.

    I have high ceilings in the center of my home, so I have more luck burning in an adjoining room with a normal ceiling and let if "flow" rather than burning in the room where there's more of a draft up above.

    Good luck!

  2. Thanks CandleMan! I was up all night searching and came up with the same as you. Looks like my supplier (Cierra) are the only ones who have the boxes that package 10. Bummer! I may have to go with 12 ct. packaging just to fill my order and bite the loss.

    Thanks again for your input and please let me know if you come up with anything else.

    Auntie A's Scentsations

  3. I am so happy to here from 6006 users. It is my choice wax by far! I only do 8 and 16 oz mason jars, using 44, 51 and 60 zinc wicks, and this wax has proved to be wonderful in every aspect when used in these applications. However, I ONLY use wide mouth jars b/c I had so many issues with the whole height vs. width scenario. I NEVER have sinkholes or need to repour on my 8 oz. but do with the 16 oz. Again, the height vs. width thing. I just let them set completely, poke 2-3 holes around the wick with an upside down cylinder shaped handled spoon, then heat with a heat gun. Works beautifully every time.

    BTW, with the wicks, I have found that the heavier (or darker) the oil, I have to wick up to 51 or 60 to prevent the wick from drowning out. Also, anything with a vanilla base (most bakery f/os) need to be wicked up.

    Sorry for rambling~I just had to pipe in since I felt your frustration.

    Happy pouring!!!
