NG Pink Grapefruit gets my vote.

Those are beautiful. I think the size may be quite popular, I really like it. Cheers Janette

:laugh2::laugh2: Too Funny!!!!

I just got a sample of NG's Rootbeer. OOB smells great, just like real thing. Haven't waxed it yet so I can't comment on throw. I only got it to make for a friend, but I really like it too. Cheers Janette

Chemessence

Yes they are.

I love your packaging. Great work. Janette

I love NG also. Haven't tried many exotics from them though. Just got a sample of Egyptian Dragon, nice OOB but haven't waxed it yet. If you haven't ordered from them before, I encourage you to give them a try. Customer Service is great. Cheers Janette

Welcome!!! Sorry but I also don't know about the suppliers you mentioned but someone will have some advice. Just need to find your post. But if the wax you are looking at is made by IGI then it won't make any difference where you buy it. You just need to choose the type of wax you need for the project you want to make. The same would be true of a name brand soy wax. I am practically illiterate when it comes to the computer. Glad to hear there are so many here who know what they are doing with tech matters. I may need advice sometime. Have fun with your new adventure. Cheers Janette

I think those of us who are catering to tourists will see a negative effect from gas prices. However, it can also have the effect of keeping local people from traveling as far also. Locals may be this year's tourists. But there is no getting around the fact that gas prices are going to effect everything we consume, and there will be less disposable income. We just have to build a better mouse trap. Cheers Janette

I am like you. Some scents I rename and others I don't. Sometimes I just don't like the name and think that it will sell better with different name. Cheers Janette

Are your wicks primed? Raw wicks can cause air bubbles. Not sure if this is your cause, just a thought. Cheers Janette

Definately a ballpark, but I would shoot for 2/3, or maybe 3/4 lbs. So hard to guess, so many variables, size of chunks, amount of space between chunks. Trial and error will be your best gauge. Hope that helps. Cheers Janette

Topofmurrayhill has hit the nail on the head. That metal contain would conduct a bunch of heat. A glass holder allows better glow also. Cheers Janette

Not all Freesia is weak. Pourette has one that is real strong, although not so realistic to me. The fuel smell could be your dye, if you are using liquid. Liquid bye is solvent based and some brands can cause fuel smell. I use colour block dye so I can't advise you on what best liquid brand is. This issue came up a couple of days ago and had a long thread. Take a look at the next page or two on this forum and you should find it. Where are your FO's from? At the top of this forum there is a link of suppliers. Many of them have great scents. Look through the scent forum for reviews on what is popular and what works in different waxes. Peaks is always getting rave reviews here, maybe try a sample pack from them. Hope this helps. Cheers Janette PS- Sorry, misread your post. Didn't realize you were looking specifically for the one scent fruit scent.

Welcome. Your going to have to get used to that clutter on your counter, it's part of the addiction. Have fun!!! Cheers Janette

Hi BrandNewToCandles, I find that packing various scents together interfers with being able to smell individual scents well. I've found they sort of mingle together, but once separated for a while become true again. I try not to let different scents share the same box. This would not matter with container candles with tight lids. For pricing myself, my costs of materials (all aspects) plus my labour costs for production combine to make my wholesale price. My retail price is double my wholesale. I hope that doesn't sound too vague. To me, my labour costs have to be accounted for. As for how much to take to a show. I think everyone will tell you, "As much as you can". To start, check with the coordinator and ask what the expected attendance is. If you can find another vendor who does this show, ask for advice on what to expect. Every show is soooo different, this is a question that can't really be answered well I'm afraid. But if you can find out what the average booth revenues are, that will give you a good referrence point. Sometimes a new face at a show will sell like crazy, and sometimes you have to do the same show a few times before you see good results. I think that candles especially are one item that some people may not buy the very first time they see them. I find that repeating the same show each year, my customer base goes up over time. I think people trust you more when they start to recognize your products more. Just my thoughts. Cheers Janette

Go easy with this one as far as % per pound. I think that too much doesn't smell as good. 1/2 oz pp I found plenty. I think I will see if I can cut it back a bit more still. Using paraffin. Cheers Janette. PS- I am now testing NG- Eggnog. Very strong throw. Creamy, nutmeg, cinnamon and buttery rum. I will put this in my Christmas line this year.

Welcome!!! You will soon be an addict like the rest of us. Have fun. Cheers Janette

I am just testing NG's Black Cherry Bomb and here are my thoughts. OOB-strong! a little medicinal and not realistic, smells like most others. In wax- WOW!, Strong still but most realistic I have found. No medicinal smell just fresh fruity cherries. I'm not big on the fruity scents but this one is a keeper for me. Mixed with straight cinnamon might be good too. Cheers Janette

I would just like to say that I really appreciate the time and effort you have put into your Wholesale Posting. I'm sure everyone else is happy to have the information as well. A big bunch of Roses to you!!! Cheers Janette

Thanks Peppermint, Your suggestions are great! I want to down play the candy side of this scent, in the name. I found that none of my friends have ever heard of Pink Sugar and if they smell it blind they pick out the musk notes as much as the sweet candy smells. I know what you mean about it going to your head. LOL. Thanks again. Cheers Janette

Candlewic and Pourette also have catalogues. Candlewic's is glossy and colourful, while Pourette's is black and white, not so pretty. Those are ones that I know of. Cheers Janette
