  1. A long time! If I'm burning it for 2 hours at a time I'll get like 16 hours , I think if I burned it all in one sitting 8 hours
  2. No believe me I am taking and digesting all of your advices I already talked to a vendor and he sent me a wick chart based on diameter openings for my candles. I really appreciate all the advice and experience you are all passing on to me, I look forward to being able to share my own experience one day with newbies just like my current self.
  3. Yes yes yes I really do appreciate the advice and help you are all offering me, it's really nice of all of you and I would love to send out samples, please if anyone wants to test my candles let me know. Thank you all
  4. My wicks are shorter than the jar, I have pre made wicks. And it doesn't get hot near the bottom. It actually doesn't get hot at all except where the flame is burning even if I burn it for 3 hours. And I didn't wait for the lit example I posted to cure. I lit it the same night I made it. I think that I wana make that a unique part of my product the fact that it makes a nice melted top layer I think looks nice, and the flame burns cleanly. What other kind of whicks would I need to use, by appropriate wick size do you guys mean a thinner wick? Or a shorter wick? Or or do you guys mean pour more wax so that less wick sticks out.
  5. I'm sure it's all natural coconut wax, and when it lights it melts nicely, I'm trying to upload a picture of the burn but the file is too big, when my candle is lit 20 minutes in it looks like the top of the candle is melted and the rest is unmelted wax. The candle did smell stronger when I re lit it the second day. My wax melts pretty easily and I think that's a nice touch to my candles it looks really nice when melted, I'll try to upload a photo.
  6. Okay so I made 38 3 oz samples with the 7 flavores I got, the smell is faint but it definitely fills up the whole room, so I'm using all natural coconut wax. And 1 oz frag per 16 oz liquid wax... I pour the 185 degree wax into the 16 oz measuring cup, stir it so its all clear, then I add the fragrance , and dye, and stir it tell it's clear, then pour it in the 3 oz glass to cool. Im thinking I use 1.3 oz of fragrance becuase coconut wax can hold up to 1.6 oz. fragrance . Let me know about your opinions on how to get a strong smelling candle
  7. Sorry I meant I'm pouring it into a little 3 oz glass container, and I'm measuring it with the glass measuring cup to get my 16 oz , I did tho purchase a digital scale, I could start tearing the scale with the glass measuring cup on it and weigh out the wax , why can't I use the 16 ozs on the measuring cup though? Would it make a big difference ?
  8. Okay So, let me start off with how I'm mixing the fragrance first . /// Step one : Heat wax to 185 degrees in wax melter machine. Step two : Pour wax into 16 oz glass measuring cup Step three : mix in 1 oz fragrance and dye until wax is clear and colored Step four : pour mixed wax into votive while still clear. Step five : let dry So that's how I've been doing it so far, but it looks like the wax is sticking to the edges inside, Am i supposed to pour directly over the wick, or from the side of the glass. Please share your pouring tips here thanks.
  9. I know, but the police don't care and I don't and the clinics here sell them so it's all good , weed industry is a big market lol
  10. I currently have coconut wax, CCCP1, from Cal wax, Ive made quite a few candles with them, my fragrance is all expired, because they were donated to me and i have them in 50lb tanks. in a 7oz pour with scent, the burn was clean, the fragrance came out well even though it was expired and when it cooled it gives it a smooth clean finish, coconut wax I was told by the vendor CAL WAX melts at 125 degrees, and the best time to start mixing is at 180 degrees.
  11. Im definitely going to give out those tester questions with my samples, thanks.
  12. I think lone star candles has caution labels that are round and stick on the bottom off the candle or container http://www.lonestarcandlesupply.com/candlemakingaccessories/cautionlabels.html but there shipping prices is ridiculous i hope this helps. you can always search for more on google, but make sure to shop around before choosing one.
  13. EVERYONE I JUST FIGURED I HAD COCONUT WAX!!! Not parraffin ! Its all natural coconut wax! Is that good or what?!
