yep! I called the "noname" company myself and complained and it did no good.....they said that was normal....Good luck to you and hopefully you'll have a better outcome than I did!

I was looking up tart warmers and some of these people are seriously giving money away! I mean with all of the crazy ebay fees and paypal fees.....How can they sell the heating plate electric tart warmers so cheap????btw...Have you seen the prices on the "triple scented candles"....ha! it's such a joke.

Ok, so next question is....Does anyone know where Levine gets their products? ( I dont mean the tins...I mean the ceramic ones)

Thanks you guys!

I like this glass and everything it just would cost WAY too much after shipping that people would look at me crazy for the price I would need to get. Thats why I'd like to find just the fleur de lis.....But It's pretty, huh?!?!

I want to add a fleur de lis metal thing( i dont know whats its called...it just sticks on the outside of the glass) to jar. Most people are not going to know what I'm talking about....BUT if you have seen them you know exactly what I mean! They are beautiful! Does anyone know where I can get the fleur de lis metal part?

what does it smell like????

I use their hawaiian paradise also! I love it! It's such a huge seller during the summer. I use a few from them....

* Wedding day---one of my favorites!!!!

* Honeysuckle---I like the way this one smells....and Ive tried quite a few!

* Sunflower--- very strong!

Thats all that I can think of.....I have tried a good bit, so if you have any questions about more, just ask! HTH!

What are your favorite oils? I have a few I am in love with but Im just looking for a few more.....Thanks you guys!

*getdown* Thanks you guys! I'll have to check em out!

How do you find those suppliers? The only one I could pull up was Belle Aire....:embarasse

I have no clue..But I have been looking for those too!

KY's honeydew melon will blow your neighbors doors off.

Wonderful! You are an angel! Im going to have to try it...Thanks!

I do see what you are saying about losing some of the undertones.....but thats where your testing comes in play. I send out close to a hundred testers and see what people have to say about them....if I get positive feedback about how rich the scent smells....I add it to my line. As for the whole "gimmick" thing........what is .5 oz.times 3????? = 1.5 oz! Im telling the truth. By the way, about the whole "cheap oil" thing...Im probably using some of the same oils you are..... in fact I know I do!

What part of the bear do you inject and how much FO? Does it last long? I have never heard of this!

Ok, lets say that we have two candle makers with the same fragrance oil, same price point, etc. One uses 1 oz and one uses 1.5 oz. The candle takes the 1.5 oz. Everything else being the same, wouldn't the one that uses 1.5 be stronger?

Also, I don't know where the .5 oz/lb came from either, but most people believe that to be true. Why?

sounds great. I'll have to watch for the half off sale.

thanx

What exactly is an injected bear and how do you do it?

Is it true that you don't need a repour? Do you get many wet spots? Why is it not worth it? I'm curious - was fixin to try it.

Ok, if it doesn't mean stronger - OK. Let the consumer decide that by their purchasing. It is still honest advertising. In my case, the ones I sell are stronger and have been tested as such.

The place where I usually buy my soapstone oil burners no long carries what I need. Can anyone suggest any places? Much appreciated!

Thank you. My point exactly.

I didn't know you could refresh aroma beads. How do you do it? Also, do you find beads from different places absorb differently?

ummm! That does sound good! is that your own blend?

I just read the archives on the "triple scenting" issue. I use this term and I mean it. It is not for some marketing gimic. In fact, I'm kinda offended by the idea that everyone uses this as a gimic. I use 1.5 oz. per lb of my wax blend. I tested for a long time. I sell the ones that I feel work well. My customers love them. I do not have a soot problem, nor do I feel my candles pose any other hazard than ususal. I have burned candles that do not use much fragrance oil and they hardly fragrance their immediate area. I have based my business on very fragrant candles, and my claim is true.

Just venting after reading those posts. Thanks for listening, amanda

Just trying to see what fo's sell for you guys....I want to replace my christmas scents asap and get started with a bam for 2007!! Thanks!

One more thing....I have tried a few places for a honeydew melon fo......but none of them actually had a throw that hit my standards....any suggestions for suppliers????
