  1. I agree.. their waxes are not great imo and they change too much because of where they source their raw materials..
  2. @WaxingPoetic I'm not impressed with the #43 Olive Oil wax from AccuBlend either.. it's very picky with scents - some throw, some don't .. it needs to be tweaked a lot.. I think it definitely needs more paraffin.. according to one of the wax makers at AccuBlend, this wax also contains coconut, soy and a small amount of paraffin.. and THERE'S NO WAY this is a no cure wax.. no vegetable wax is .. bad marketing imo
  3. COTTONWOOD WICKS are available again it looks like in all sizes from CRAFTED CANDLE SUPPLY https://craftedcandlesupply.com/products/cotton-wood-wick-assembly
  4. Has anyone tried the new OLIVE OIL blends available now? Dulceria, Kandila, and Sunshine Candle Supply all have one. I and NOT impressed with the Dulceria version that I received, but they recently tweaked it. Using 8% fragrance, the ct/ht is very weak and they have boasted zero cure time with amazing ct/ht. Both Dulceria and Kandila get theirs from AccuBlend, but I was told they aren't quite the same formula. Sunshine Candle Supply uses a different mfg. They sell this wax on their ETSY site.
  5. Hey, I just wanted to give you all an FYI- the 4630 and 6006 waxes are NOT made by IGI, these are blends made exclusively for VA Candle Supply. The Coconut Apricot wax is NOT Ceda Serica Coco Apricot made by Calwax, nor is the Coconut 83 made by Accublend. Both of these blends are made exclusively for VA Candle Supply.. I got this information directly from Phil, the owner.
  6. I know this post is a year old, but the Candlewic coco apricot IS ceda serica coco apricot from Calwax.. they just have it delivered in liquid form and they slab it themselves
  7. I made a 4in diameter wick less tester candle Sept. 2021 with 6% frangrace- white pumpkin from C&S. I completely forgot about it lol but found it the other day and decided to test 3 Aroma Lite 80 wicks in it. WOW!!! The Hot throw is incredible and so far the burn is beautiful and steady. So I bought more 6098 from C&S .. a case is less than $100 before shipping which is really good imo. I'm going to give this wax another go and I'll continue with the 6-7% and I'll test CD wicks as well ..
  8. I don't use the 487 on it's own, but I would try CD/CDN or HTP
  9. Hive and Honey is carrying the SP 487 now, they just got a batch in and the owner has assured me that it is the correct formula- the bad batch had one wrong ingredient in it.. it smelled horrible, but I found the smell undetectable in finished candles and it performed as it should Here is the website https://hiveandhoneycandleco.com/
  10. I'll get it at Candles &Supplies.. I made a tester last Sept. with 6% fragrance and just lit it yesterday. Oh wow! I used 3 Aroma Lite 80 wicks because the jar is 4in and the hot throw and burn were magnificent! I remember testing the 6098 last year and getting a lot of soot from wicks- I'm guessing I didn't let it cure long enough. What wicks do you like in the 6098?
  11. Aroma Lite can be found at Northwood Distributing.
  12. Is there anyone CURRENTLY using the IGI 6098? There are some much older posts, but looking for help that is current.
  13. 9% throws good, and I also made an 11% tester.. this wax can easily hold 12% even though it doesn't say it can.. no seepage.. I think wax mfg stay on the safer side with fragrance % ... I've used HTP 93 in a 3.2in 16oz straight sided jar and and AL 140-180 depending on the fragrance. (Aroma Lite).... Get some and give it a try and see what you think
  14. This is a new coconut wax available at Northstar Country Candle Supply. It is VERY EASY to wick and has throw fragrance really well at 10%. The owner has formulated this wax himself. The description is says it 's comparable to Accu-Pure Coconut 83, IGI 6046 Coconut/Paraffin, and Virgin Coconut Soy meaning EC26. I find it superior to all of these waxes.
