Thanks so much for your post!!

Thank you so much Jenni Wix!!

It seems like I tried 6006 but there was so much soot. Maybe I just don’t have the right with a combination. I think I have almost a full case so I could go back and try that wax.

I can’t even believe I am thinking of trying out a soy/paraffin wax. I have been making soy candles for at least 10 years now. I would say it took me about a year and a half to finally feel like I had a good product. I do not have hardly any experience working with paraffin. I dabbled in it here and there but just didn’t feel like I had came up with the right combinations of wax and wicks. Plus it was so long ago that I can’t remember exactly which waxes I tried and I think I tossed out my notes thinking I’m never gonna use paraffin. If there is anyone that does a soy/paraffin blend and would be willing to share wax/wick would be so very appreciated. I understand if you do not want to because I know how hard we all work to get a good candle. I will definitely be testing. (just the thought of that should be enough to make me change my mind) but when I get something in my head, I hate to give up. When I started making soy candles I never knew about this forum, which would have really helped so much. I have been going thru older posts and trying to get as many pointers/ where to even begin as I can find. I use htp wicks now. Have you ever burned a candle that was actually to strong? A friend of mine gave me a candle a couple weeks ago. She didn’t remember where she got it from though. I lit it and OH MY GOSH! I have never had such a strong candle. It’s almost to strong. It says it’s a soy blend so that is where I got this brilliant idea. I know i have some 6006 and 4730. Might even have some 4798 I think it was called. Even if anyone could give some starting out advice I sure would appreciate it! TIA

I have wondered that exact thing Trapp??

Would love to hear your favorites you just can’t go without! And any if you’ve tried any new scents that you tried or want to I love Christmas Memories from Cajun and their Mulberry is super good too Wish there were a bunch of new Christmas oils but unless I just missed any new oils out??

Haha I just read my post and thought...yeah you idiot! You definitely need MORE oils to try. Good golly! And then as quickly as I read it I thought what’s a few more? Could be that one scent that I just end up loving and can’t go without. I’ve been trying to get a grip on my FO addiction but I’m not doing so great. For some reason I think at Christmas time I should get more “NEW” oils I never had. But then again I guess I try and use that excuse at every new Season LOL

I hope you get some recommendations. I love Cinnamon but have the same problem as you.

Does anyone know where I could find these? I’ve seen them several different times I can’t remember what site it was on. They’re kind of a small plastic holder that you put potpourri in and then you can wrap them with jute. I don’t know how to add pics or I could post one Thank you for any help!

OH MY GOSH TRAPP! I SO LOVING THESE! YOU ROCK!

I don’t see any scent called Angel Wings??? Was just going to place a quick small order now and seen this post

I ordered Espresso, Ginger Ale, Energy, Autumn Fig Harvest and Sea Salt. OOB they smell really strong. I’ll be putting them in wax ASAP

I ordered Autumn Fig Harvest, Energy, Expresso and Ginger Ale. I’ll post back with my thoughts once in wax

Thank you!

Wow! I didn’t know any of that. Definitely not a way to do good business in my mind either

So what is the deal with Peaks? I thought they went out of business? I’m so confused

No one?

I have tried a couple times to mix my own. No luck

Awesome! Thank you Katmeltswax

I wonder if it’s always the same time of year??

Does anyone use their oils in candles? Favorites? TIA

Fingers Crossed

Thank you TT and Trapp

I have been trying to find a dupe of this forever! Anyone have any suggestions?
