It's good. Been testing it for couple weeks now. Will be adding a video to the channel when ready. Its one of the more unique paraffin waxes I've ever used or seen and I've used a ton of waxes. I don't think they are lying about big brand company using it as well. I dont disagree with a previous reply that having such a low melt point can be an issue logistically for distribution, but large companies have creative ways to deal with it. Plus, larger brands have been changing waxes a lot over the past decade to try to keep up with the market and new demands. This wax does seem familiar to me from the perspective of a consumer, but I am not sure who manufactures it on from the perspective of a maker. 

 

PROS: good HT and CT. Very easy to use. Easy to wick mostly. great adhesion and surface setup, good color, etc.

CONS: Low melt point could be problematic shipping. And still has tendancy to throw a little soot especially if not wicked perfectly.

 

But, so far so good.

Are you using bigger jars and double wicking? I ask as I’m using smaller jars that are single wicked and inquiring about what I need in order for a stronger hot throw. Maybe my jar is too small.

I’ve been testing this the past week or so. It’s exactly as I expected.

 

LX wicks are only good in it with small containers, bigger ones I like using HTP but the hot throw seems to be a bit muted, but it’s still not bad. Just have to use very small sizes to get a cleaner burn, but because it has such a low melt point it makes things easier with 3 inch containers. You don’t have to wait an eternity to get a bigger melt pool.

 

I’ve also been testing the new parasoy, it behaves very similar except it likes bigger wicks because of the added soy. (and I added a couple more % FO load to compensate).

 

Overall, I like both the waxes, but there’s no way I could use them for shipping all the time. They both arrived by UPS almost melted.

I’m so glad you mentioned the wicks you used. I have a smaller single which jar with an lx and the longer it burns the flame gets high as the wax lowers should I be concerned? 
 

Also I don’t get as much a hot throw like I was hoping. I’m new so maybe I’m expecting too much from handmade candles. Or is it only because I’m using small single wicked jars?

Are you using large multi wicked jars and that’s how your getting such a good hot throw? 
 

The scent im getting now seems more of for bathrooms and small rooms as it’s only 7oz and single wicked?

I've tested the MP-117 against the CBL-125 from Candlewic which I'm told is basically 4630. In my opinion the MP-117 is superior in hot throw and burn quality

 

What wick do you find is the best I’ve been using the recommended lx series?
