that's cool!

I love black. What do you use? I use peak's liquid dye.

Would you mind if I ask you which wick do you put in those?

Well, LOL! I used Black & Navy Dye Blocks from CS and a crap load of them! The order was a rush for a friend and I told them I had not tested the burn on these, especially with all that dye! They are for a reception so hopefully they will burn OK for that short amount of time! They will be in Hurricanes so.....

I have placed an order for some Black dye powder to see if that will work better. Will let ya know.

I used the CSN 26 wicks in the 4" pillar. I actually have one in the mold with FO. Will post a pick later tonight.

I have tested the Heart Pillar mold from CS and the CSN 16 works divine!

I think all you need is a CC to order. There is a 25 case minimum for their reg line. They deliver by freight truck so you need a large place for them to delivery.

I am not sure about the minimum on the colored tumblers since they are special order. Hopefully I will know by Monday.

Looks great!

I just made 4- 4X6 unscented Balck Palm pillars for an order.

I have also contacted the local Anchor rep so hope to have pricing and minimums by Monday. I may do a local NC, SC coop. Once I have the pricing I will post a gauging interest thread in the coop section.

Snuggle Baby (KY)

Lavender Vanilla (KY)

Ditto on these!

This is an old thread but thought I would bump it up. I think these are a special order. The ones you pictured are the outside spray. I am interested in the inside spray ones. I have contacted them by email so will update once I hear.

A little more information...are you double wicking, single wicking and what wick sizes have you tried?

A friend of mine has been using this jar for over a year now. At first he poured CB135. He is now pouring GGLow and double wicking them with CD's. I am going over there tomorrow afternoon to pick up a couple of cases and wicks so I can test.

I too love this jar. My friend also orders these direct from Anchor.

Palm wax is being pushed in the articles but I enjoyed reading them and thought there was some good info, of course only one person's opinion. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I know my temp is lower than 125 when I pour, not sure of the exact temp though.

You will get some wet spots with CB135, but I have learned to live with them!

I personally just think that 130 is too low to add FO. I get great scent throw adding it b/w 160-165.

I no longer check my pour temp but I pour CB135 when it starts to cloud and is the consistency of thin gravy. Smooth tops and no sink holes. I found if I pour slushy I do not get smooth tops.

Also, if you are not adding color I do not think you need to heat the wax to 180. I heat mine to around 165. I also add my FO as soon as I remove it from the heat. In my experience this has worked well.

Thanks everyone!

I would have to make a guess here and say that all the suppliers will probably go up again! CS is usually the last to raise their prices and they usually have the best price. IMO

I did some math tonight and the new case price for the ecosoya CB135 will make a 3 cents an ounce increase for me. It does not sound that bad when you figure it that way!

4oz candle~+12 cents

8oz candle~+24 cents

16oz candle~+48 cents

I guess it could be worse.:undecided

I have been working on my angles with the GGLOW.

The first is scented Waterfall Cascade from FOH. The first three pictures show different sides of the candles.

The last picture shows Snuggle Baby (KY) on left and another Waterfall Cascade on the right.

Thanks for looking!

I did not take a pic of them unwrapped. Here is one close up in the wrapper. I think they crystallized well.

Corn Market has affected Soy Market:

This may not be much help but I bought some of the heart silicone trays at target for VDay. I heated the tray (on a wire shelf) with my heat gun then poured the pillar palm wax in. Once the wax set up, but was still warm I popped them out. I found with these if I allowed them to completely cool they did not pop out. You will have to heat the mold in order to achieve the crystal effect.

I have a few from Van Yulay but have not tried it in those yet. They are supposed to take up to 300 degrees so I would think I could do the same thing with those.

I tested several Orange Chiffon Cakes a few months back. I checked my file and I rated KY's #1.

Here are the ones I tested in CB135, in order of throw and authenticity:

KY

FOH

Snowtop/ICS

Daystar

they just moved to NC... wonder if they allow one to pick up orders?

Sad to say no pickups! I recently found out they were in Durham, NC. I emailed and this was the response:

Sorry but our insurance and zoning preclude customer visitation to our facilities.

Very truly yours,

Customer Service

I have never had any problem with Daystar's customer service either! Even when she was closed for the holidays she responded to emails:confused: :confused:

Can't help with the scents, never tried those.

Click on the Premium Oil link at ICS, if your lookin for ST's Mac Apple ... they still carry it.

Thanks Candlebuddy! Lately I have found it hard to locate certain scents on her site.

If you don't mind a green apple, Snowtop (ICS now) carries a Green Apple that is blow the doors off strong! But it's fairly tart, not a sweet soft apple.

I will second this one. The snowtop Mac apple was also a good thrower for me in CB135, but it seems ICS has dropped this snowtop version.

Is she burning the candle in the same place every time?

The ones I have tested I test in my bathroom which is a fairly large space (it will cause the least amount of trouble in the bathroom as we have cats). I have noticed that sometimes I can smell the candle in my bedroom much better than in the bathroom. Thought it was just me.

Placement is big! My master bath (medium size) does weird things like this too! Sometimes I can smell the scent better when I am in the shower! WEIRD! Guess it is how the draft is. My vents are in the floor and others have vents in the ceiling. But of course we can not account for every single condition!

Finally got around to testing Very Vanilla. I love it!

CB135

Awesome cold and hot throw. Buttery type vanilla smell to me. Very similar if not exact to Millcreek's Extreme Vanilla, which I think is similar to CC's Vanilla Vodoo. This one is a definite winner!
