I have read wonderful things of this, and is why I placed an order (curousity) and IMO the throw was very weak...maybe it was the scents I purchased...I dont know, but I did purchase a few diff scents, I ended up selling what was left of my order. Now, I tried both ways, I 1st tried just using it by itself in my burner, and I also tried using it as a blender with other tarts I had, and when blended I only could smell the tart, not the "dust" I had bought. I hate to write anything against any vendor, and Im really not, Im just giving my honest opinion...I made the purchase as I was curious as many raved of this vendor....So...Im dont know what I am missing here? Im glad others love it so much...I wish I could say the same. The vendor is a very nice lady, and packed my order very well.
