Thanks Annie. I will keep tweaking things until I can get a blend that will consistently melt in their wall plug-in 15 watt bulb melter. I am getting closer. You are right about it being "not a bad concept". Can't ignore their huge (sometimes cult-like) following. I personally think many on here probably make better, longer lasting melts/tarts but will they melt in the lower-heat melters that Scentsy makes? That is the challenge as I see it. I know many say they don't worry whether or not their melts work in Scentsy melters but they do make a variety of nice ones and the volume of their business is huge. I don't much care for them (for several reasons) but I actually think they are good for the 'industry'. In my view, the more people purchasing melts, tarts,melters, etc., the better it is for all of us!

This is my first post on the forum although I have been reading all of the insightful posts for a few months. So thank you everyone! I have been making paraffin melts in standard 6 cavity clamshells. I have a 15 watt Scentsy plug in melter and I can not get a cube to fully melt in it. I use a blend of 4794 and 4627. I realize Scentsy uses a low MP wax but I have tested my melts in another 15 watt plugin from a different manufacturer and it melts fine. Since Scentsy manufactures its own melters, does anyone think that perhaps they are making their bowls thicker than others? This would help assure that only their melts will work in the plug ins. I also noticed that their clamshells have much smaller cavities- which would melt better in lower heat. Is anyone else having trouble getting their wax to melt in 15 watt Scentsy plug ins? Or maybe a better question would be has anyone had any success with melting their wax in a Scentsy 15 watt plug in?
