candybee could i use a recipe for the melt and pour base sold already made. Yours are added to the base or no? Im lost

Im in north florida so have to check out those close to me. I will venture out more once i see shipping costs though. Some of the shipping is so much for so little. Im new 😮 i have to start somewhere.

I have not mastered candles soy its melts for me. I will start ordering oils this summer so i can be ready. The people that are ready to suppport me either buy both melts and candles or just melts. Theres no since in sitting out the game just because the candles arent ready lol. Brambleberry has a farmers market line out. May give them a try. Anyone try essential depot?

Please explain the abbreviation. Im new lol

I like it but am willing to buy the saveonscents one to compare.

Good morning. What wick would you suggest? When i lit the candle the 1st time i knicked the wax

This is almost 3 hours of burning. Theres another with a lx 22 wick but its not cured yet.

O so it was cheaper? Hmmm

Wow that wick guide is tricky. Ok i will put these out and remove the wicks and insert a eco 2 and a 4. I spooned the melted wax into one of my rose candy molds lol. Thank you very much.

This wick i am sure this wick series wont work. Cant smell a thing and there is a thin line of black smoke flowing from the flames. Should i try the lx series or htp?

So I made two sets of candles. I have coconut83 wax from California candle supply. Eco series wick and fragrance from candlescience. The first photo includes 6oz candles with a fragrance of 6% coconut lime/ Himalayan bamboo. The candle on the left is eco 14. The candle on the right is eco 12. Those flames are high! The second photo includes 6oz candles naked. The left candle is eco 14. The candle on the right is eco 12.

Starting 2nd burn. Q230 lx 24 plain wax. Taken 7:07 and 7:21pm now

Someone i follow on YouTube already bought a few boxes. She said she will do a review soon. I sure hope that this is the soy you all loved.

10lbs are available for $19

Candle science sent an email that this wax and ecosoya pillarblend is back. Any thoughts?

K

1 week.

Oo. Even if its pretabbed and hot glued down?

Ok. CandleScience recommended going up a size so i will wick with a lx22 6". Do i need to burn this candle anymore since its overwicked?

Please see below. Hi

After over 3.5hrs if the first burn i made just a few notes. The wick gave an amber glow for about 2mins after putting out the flame. The smoke scent went all throughout the house. Rhe wax pool went out to the edge of the container. The glass was barely warm to touch while burning. I took pics after the burn. See below.

Yes. Maybe the fragrances would perform better in the waxes you think? Id like to see how this goes yes.

This is q230 from aztec. Unscented no dye. 6.3oz. Lx 24 6" wick from CandleScience. 1st burn. I have the wick a tiny bit long.

Thanks. I dont mean to sound like im rushing to sell candles tomorrow. I just know the new waxes are frustrating to experienced candlemakers and so it is for me as well. I do these at home so ive learned that i need to kep my house at 70 and heat jars in my oven and cure longer than 48 hours. Wicks cost and so i have to buy them slowly. I have bought several containers and will test over time.

What are your thoughts on candle classes. I have seen courses offered from people who own bb companies for $99 to $500+ I see companies offering to make the candles for you for $600+. I want to keep learning and my waxes and i read these posts and watch videos online. Does anyone know someone who benefited from such courses? I bought gb444 coconut 83 ecosoya q230 waxes and i dont care for all the fuss about formula changes. For those who care about the greatness of beeswax i do want to learn beeswax. I bought some from bulk apothecary but i wanted to try busybee or glorybee. I think parasoy would be better for me instead of straight soy. I used my soy wax for melts/tarts and i liked it for that. To those that responded to my earlier posts i chose waxes that obviously may have been fine in the past but have been reformulated and i learned quickly soy was not my friend haha. Do you think joining a course would help? You all are so helpful. Ive come across people who think if they told me what they know and use i would do their sales harm - at least thats how they seem to act imo.
