I know this post is old, but I have been using coconut wax since 2011.. what coconut wax are you using? Coconut waxes must be heated to at least 200.. you can go to 210.. add scent immediately, stir about 15sec and pour.. do not let it cool before pouring.

I LOVED Accu-Blend's Apricot Wax! I called them to get more ( when I could order 1 case at a time from them ) this wax back in early 2018 I think,... they discontinued it because the apricot wax going rancid too quickly and causing a great deal of money lost to those huge companies that had candles made from it.. bummer, ... the coconut 83 has changed so much, it used to be so much like the apricot wax.. I really don't like this "new"version.. the Hot throw is basically non existent, adding beeswax to it makes it too viscous to wick correctly, and it doesn't wick like the old version at all.. NOT HAPPY
-
This NEW Coconut 83 is a beast to wick! This is definitely NOT THE SAME 83 that was available 4-5 years ago.. It really seems to me that it has beeswax or a beeswax-like wax added to it.. and it's taking bigger wick sizes than it used to.. Any help or thoughts are welcome
-
Has anyone else noticed the change in Coconut 83? It's definitely NOT the same wax I used 2 years ago
-
I've been using Coconut wax for years... you need to use SMALL WICKS.. if you are getting a tall, smoking flame and poor melt pool it's because the wick is way too big... coconut wax and coconut blends are nothing like soy wax and should not be treated as such
-
hey there, did you ever try the sunflower wax? I'm thinking of ordering some from Natures Garden and using it in coconut wax.
-
I've never had soot with coconut wax
-
just an FYI.... this wax contains FOOD GRADE PARAFFIN... not much, but it is in there. I contacted the company yesterday and asked
-
just an FYI- Both waxes sold by The Lab and Co ( Wooden Wick Co) contain a small amount of FOOD GRADE PARAFFIN. I contacted them yesterday because of the concern of members in candle groups on FB.... Food grade paraffin is considered and all natural product and because the wax formula is proprietary, they don't have to list it
-
Yes, Jeana you are correct.. I contacted them again to make sure and both of their waxes contain paraffin.
-
the coconut/apricot blend has paraffin in it, the virgin coconut creme does not.. this is what I was told
-
just an FYI: the Ultra Wax Coconut Blend contains paraffin... I discovered this wax last year and called about it.. I wanted to know if it contained paraffin and it does.. also.. ACCUBLEND CO is moving into a larger production facility because demand for their waxes has become outrageous.. the latest version of the COCONUT 83 is mostly coconut with small amounts of apricot, soy and palm waxes added. I got this info straight from the head honcho there.

The C&S Easy Beads Coconut wax IS Accu-blends COCONUT 83 available at California Candle Supply... This wax DOES NOT contain paraffin.. I've been using it for years and I called accublend ( I use to buy directly from them) to find out what is in it..and YES, it does come in bead form as many times that is what they sent me... it isn't really beads, just small chunks of wax... It is predominately coconut wax, then apricot, soy and palm waxes. Northwoods coconut wax is also COCONUT 83

Jeremy, how is the throw with the Virgin Coconut?
-
the Candles and Supplies EASY BEADS COCONUT WAX is Coconut 83.. the coconut container wax is coco/soy/ beeswax.
-
Candles and Supplies EASY BEADS COCONUT is the 83 from Accublend .. The coconut container wax contains soy, coconut and beeswax.
-
Has anyone tried the COCONUT CONTAINER BLEND ( coconut/soy/beeswax) from CANDLES AND SUPPLIES?
-
yes you read that correctly.. I burn the next day to test for wick and they smell amazing .. of course the longer they sit, they get even stronger.. but that's the beauty of coconut wax.. it has a very minimal cure time
-
Just an FYI Northwoods Coconut wax is COCONUT 83 from Accublend.. it can also be found at California Candle Supply.. this wax is a blend of coconut, apricot, soy, palm
-
According to Cargill, this can be used alone as a container wax.. I buy from Northstar, I love them and the fragrances are outstanding.. anyways.. I made a candle today with the coconut 2 and 5% soy modifier from american soy organics and did 10% fragrance.. Sugared Spruce from Northstar.. I made the candle early this morning about 10hrs ago.. the cold throw is outstanding .. can't wait to test for HT.. I will do that tomorrow
-
I'm wondering if this VIRGIN COCONUT CREME is really just Naturewax Coconut 2 which is pure coconut wax with 2% soy added. It looks exactly like PUGHAUS'S picture of the VCC wax above... I have some so I'm going to whip up a candle and see what I think .. I think I'll order some of the VCC too and compare.. the Coconut 2 is much more affordable
-
The HT on the SC-21 is light , not a fan of this wax.. I can smell the paraffin in it
-
I've been using the Coco83 for years and got a sample of the SC-21 to try.. I have yet to burn the test candle I made 3 days ago, 10% fragrance , but so far the CT is almost non existent and I can really pick up the smell of the paraffin in it.. I will test burn it later today and see if there is a HT at all... so far it is nothing at all like the 83

Thank you pughaus for this info. I wish they would just be forthcoming and honest with their descriptions. Glad to know it has paraffin in it.. Hybrid wax usually means it contains paraffin.
