Good to know, I have been thinking about ordering a sample.

That is good news. They have the best Japanese Cherry Blossom out there and I was saving my last once for my mom.

you might check out factorydirectcraft.com. They have a lot of lids to choose from.

If you havent' checked Save on Scents (S0S), they have a good selection of Yank scents. I have been looking for years for a dupe of Yank Patchoulli. It is my favorite scent of all time. I have bought so many samples trying to find something close....nothing works!

The burn(s) did not go well. It didn't even get a full melt pool after 4 hours on the first burn or 4 hours on the 2nd burn. Finally got a full on on the third. NO throw at all on the 1st and 2nd burn...which makes sense if the melt pool is weak. Weak throw on the 3rd burn....not up to my standards. The FO is a tried and true kick butt scent, so......Sure I could wick up....etc. But I have used this size for years and has always been fine. Supplier has had not other complaints and has been as helpful as they can. So I am going to start playing with it a bit. Maybe a lower pour temperature... I don't know. Maybe try to mix it with another wax. I am kind of grasping at straws. Been focusing on my other stuff like pillars, melties and votives while I ponder this situation.

Could you please check the label on your case. I am so interested to know how it reads. I have major issues w/my new case I just opened. I havent' heard back from the supplier (it was the weekend). Please PM me if you can.

thanks in advance

yep, I just got a sample of it from the Candle Source!

Thanks for that information Brenda. I hope this one at least burns the same because it def. did not pour the same. I am going to burn one here in a few minutes and see if it burns the same. I can handle the pouring issues if the throw is where it should be.

I haven't yet, but I guess that is the next step. I probably should do it so that they can at least check into it.

Thanks!

Oh my goodness, I just opened a new case that I got about a month ago and it is not the same wax. It is from a very reputable supplier and is labeled as 4630. When I was cutting it up, I was thinking wow this doesn't seem quite right. But, I really thought it was my imagination and wasn't worried about it at all. I just went out to check my candles and there is so much shrinkage. I will def. have to repour. 4630 is not a repour wax. I was totally unprepared for that. I have been pouring tons of candles and I have been using this wax for years because it is such a friendly wax to use. This stuff that I have now is not. So my questions is...was there a reformulation and I missed it? I am a bit in a panic because I have no idea what to expect from it. I am getting ready for a huge party and now I have to test this to see what I am dealing with.....crap

I am a fan of both of these suppliers. But I am wondering if anybody has tried the Harvest from JS and NG to see if they are similar. I was also wondering the same for the mulled cider that they both carry. The only one that I have tried is the JS Harvest and it is very good. Another comparison that I was interested in was Black Raspberry Vanilla that they both carry.

If anyone has experimented with other ones that could be compared, that would be also great information.

thanks!

I really like there Morracon Spice in wax (para). I just rename it.

Oh, so glad this got posted because I have a list of ones that I want to try. The Blood Orange was one of them.

Jen, what does the acerola cherry smell like...is it sweet or tart? I really want to do a cherry and she has so many. Has anyone tried the cherry slushie or the Cherry Jelly Bean. I am trying to decide between those three.

Oh Darbla that is such a neat idea. I could totally visualize something like that and how fun/attractive that would be!

I was just looking at the site, but it doesn't really mention candles use. Just wondering if anybody has found them to work with wax, either paraffin or soy.

Thanks for the info! I looked at her site awhile ago and was intrigued but couldn't remember the link and I couldn't find it in the search engine. I am probably going to have to try her FO's

Yes, yes enable me...lol.

Well the description on the website says butter, butterscotch, carmel and cremes, but sometimes that only helps so much. Trying to dupe it and finding the right mix can be difficult. It does sound yummy tho : )

When I put too much scent on them, I have had them fall apart. 1 drope of FO seems to work the best for me. I tried 3 had the rose fell apart. The spritzing idea sounds good. I havent' tired that

Welcome back to the addiction! I am happy for you because I know how much I enjoy making candles and other stuff. Nothing like a break to appreciate it.

out of sheets for air fresheners, how do you do it? I am struggling to make mine look nice. Any advice would be appreciated.

Your shop is awesome. It would def. attract my attention and I would want to stop and shop.

I am sure that Peak's will be fair and there will not be an issue of you having to pay shipping. Once the wick pins come back in stock, they will be able to send them to you and I am sure they will not ask you to pay shipping. The customer service really is excellent.

I love the smell of Spiced Cranberry, but I haven't been able to get it to throw in any of my waxes...weird because I really love Peaks FO's and rarely have that trouble. My favorites and kick butt in all three of my waxes (none of which are soy) are:

Blueberry Muffin

Cinnamon Buns

Sweet Pumpkin Spice

White Tea & Ginger

Hazelnut Cappi

and Bayberry (which is my favorite of all time - love it)

I can't speak for the Patchoulli, but Peak's Lavender is the best I have tried. I have to use 1/4 to 1/2 less then what I would normally use depending on my application (wax, spray, lotion, etc)

Probably nothing you didn't already know though, but just in case : )

I am currently testing that scent in my parrafin and it threw med/strong. I was very happy with it. I have some testers trying it out and I have not heard back from them yet.
