I finally used up my entire 40lb case of this wax and probably won’t purchase again. I’m sure it’s great once figured out completely but I don’t have the patience lol. I used it for wax melts because I didn’t feel comfortable at all burning candles made with this wax, but once they sell I am transitioning my melt line to IGI6006. I use that for my candles and it seems to do really well in melts also. The appeal of the coco brew for me was the higher fragrance load than pure soy and other soy blends but by the time you go down to 8% or less you might as well use soy haha

I have given up on this for candles for now. The wax melts i made with it have been great! It’s a little soft but not too messy.

Which coconut wax from them @Jayefrojersey? Is it the coconut brew or another? I noticed the description says bright white but none of my candles have been bright white. More of an off white.

I’ve had good HT with a few ultra strong fragrance oils I’ve tested from Northstar Candle Supply. They are formulated for soy and other natural waxes. Problem is, I use wooden wicks. I haven’t gotten the fragrance load right just yet so I’m still testing. Throw has been amazing with these but the wicking is now the challenge. With my regular FO (mostly from Candle Science) I found the HT was much better with patience. With parasoy I can cure for 24-48 hours and get a decent throw when burn testing. With this wax, not so much. I had a friend test some for HT and after shipping they had probably cured for about a week. She said they were amazing!

I’m still testing with this wax also. I was able to get less frosting and no cracking at all pouring immediately after mixing FO. I was also disappointed in the hot throw of this wax but tried ultra strong fragrance oils that seem to do well with it.

That would be awesome!

I just ordered the Coconut Brew from Candles and Supplies and I’m not sure I’m sold. I have only tested one of my scents with it so far and what I’ve found is that it pours beautifully and burns evenly but the appearance of the candles is not pretty. The tops are not smooth (followed all instructions from the vendor as far as mixing and pouring tips). There is frosting of course but also cracks and some bumps. Heat gun doesn’t make a difference. I’ve tried to find what I can do but I don’t see reviews out there on this specific blend. I took a chance and ordered a 45 lb case because I thought nothing could be worse than the sinkholes with IGI 6006. Now I’m kind of regretting it. But continuing to test with my other FO’s (10% load) to see if I see a difference. So far, while they are cooling what I see on the tops is the same. I hope more people will have some feedback on this blend because I need to make it work.
