  1. I am very new here but carmal apple is my fav scent! I ordered one from JS and it was pretty good. BCN I am not quite sure about have not burned it yet. Cold smell is kinda weird. Also I read on another board that they mix creme brulee and mac apple for their carmel apple. I have poured this too but have not burned yet. It smells pretty darn good cold! I would say try JS and try to mix your own. Just took another whiff of the ones I poured and the JS and the mix definitley are winners!
  2. Just add the 1ounce samples you want into the shopping cart. It will charge you full price but will be adjusted later. In the coupon code box put SAMP99 before confirming your order. I can not wait to get mine!
  3. Cranberry Crumble is under their Primitive Scents. It took me a while to figure it out.
  4. Thanks! That is all I need someone else enabling me!
  5. Thanks! That is all I need someone else enabling me!
  6. I know exactly how you feel Lynn. I also have one of those sewing/embroidery machines! I am into the sewing/embroidery and candles for a hobby....and I agree an expensive one at that!
  7. I am new here too. Maybe one pf the more experienced one's will chime in! I have not invested in a heat gun I am using a hair dryer! I use Ecosoya CB135 but most of the time I do not have a problem with smooth tops.
  8. Thanks for the info! Just placed an order! I almost ordered last night...glad I waited!
  9. I actually bought a couple of the 8oz sq. mason jars last winter...long befroe I even new what a good candle was! LOL! The only one that I really like was the strawberry..it was good and strong. None of the others were anything to brag about.
  10. I know this is an old thread, but I have been trying to wick the 8oz sq. mason and it is giving me a fit! I was at Candle Science today and they told me to doublewick it diagonally corner to corner. We will see what happens. When I was trying to single wick it would either smoke, large flame, huge mushrooms or the flame would dance around like crazy! This one is a booger! BTW I use ecosoya CB135.
  11. I know that I have experenced something similar. Where you put a candle in a room can affect scent throw. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe that is what happned to you.
  12. I received my order today! Fast service! I was hoping I would get them today so I could pour a few. We are leaving for the beach tomorrow and Wanted them to cure while we are gone! Nana's apple butter is one that I poured at 1.5pp and man it is strong cold! I may have to go down on that one!
  13. OK. I am using a wick testing method I read about here where you pour the jars wickless then insert your wick. If it does not work just yank it out and put another one in! It is great! I am testing the paper cored wicks today. So far so good! I am waiting on some cotton cores also. I think I am a cored wick kinda girl! I like the Hemp but I do not think they get hot enough..and of course there is the fragrance mushroom they create! :laugh2: I poured 4 JS scents today and will test those next week. Nana's Apple Butter is strong Cold, Caramel Apple, Cinnamon Cider and Vanilla Butter Crunch. I used 1.5ozpp. I can probably go down on The Apple butter! Will update later!
  14. My point exactly. I think it is so deceiving what these companies are doing!:undecided
  15. OK..I am going to go to at least 1.25ozpp. I like a fairly strong candle. I do not want it to run me out of the house...but strong!
  16. I have read several threads about this. I was browsing through several candle sites today that I have bookmarked. On the Homepage of one in LARGE letters was this: We use 4 times the fragrance of industry standards. That must be one strong soy candle! I am assuming they are saying that they use 2ozpp!
  17. Yea I know it is a stretch...but just an overall experience no specifics.
  18. I have read alot of threads about what % of Fo to use..and I know it varies from supplier to supplier. Here are a few questions I have..I am using the cb135 soy wax: 1. The FO sticky that lists FO's that throw in soy...are these at 1ozpp? 2. What is your experience w/ Just Scents? 1oz.pp? 3. I am also considering ordering from Millcreek. 1ozpp I know these can all vary...but just wanted to get an overall analysis...:undecided
  19. Yea that is what I want.....acceptable size per room! You always have my back Candlewitch!:highfive: Thanks!
  20. What size candle for what size room? Is there a standard that everyone goes by? I saw this listed on a site a while back and can not remember where I saw it.:rolleyes2
  21. I have looked at their scents long before I ever dreamed of making a candle! They just all sound so yummy! I want to order from NG also...but could not resist this sale! The testing is going good! I posted a test update on the vegetable/category. Let me know what you think????
  22. I placed an order for the 1oz samples for $1.00 each! I use ecosoya cb135. Here is what I ordered: Cinnamon Cider Apple pie-hot baked Holiday Wassil Hillbilly Fixins Girls night out gingerbread country kitchen christmas cabernet cashmere caramel apple mulberry mullberry spice mulled wine nan's old fash. apple butt. orange chiff. cake silky v vanilla totally scrumptous becky's ultimate vanilla vanilla buttercream crunch my mama's blub. cobbler I can't wait to try them!
