Hello,

Just wondering if anyone had any reviews on FO's they purchased from Tri State or Carolina Candle.

I am Local to Carolina Candle althought I havent tried much of thier FO's its where I get my wax. I am stuck on Peak's FO's at the moment.

It appears they are a joint company so any reviews for Tri State would be the same for Carolina Candle.

Thanks . . . .

I have tried these 2 recently and love them, the throw is awesome in J223, very strong IMO.

Caramel Apple

Black Raspberry Vanilla

Yeah the zinc's do mushroom, but I have learned to embrace it from other people on this board

Quote from another thread:

That turkey fryer concept intrigued me when I first saw it and I know people use those. For that amount of wax, I just have reservations about how it works. In a regular melter the wax is heated from all sides. In this jobbie you have very concentrated heat from the elements on the bottom. I feel that could cause degradation of the wax and other ingredients as they go past the heating elements.

Yeah I have always liked the Zinc myself, I always seem to get a much better pool.

Looks like Zinc is in the lead . . .

What Type of Wicks do you use for your Container Candles.

I'm Guessing SheilaW's water down there in florida doesnt smell or do what this stuff claims or she could just bottle it up and make some for us all.

A refreshing & stimulating floral & citrus scented cologne often used for ritual offering & purification. Also used in spells to remove unwanted thought forms & heavy vibrations, to encourage the display of emotions, to suppress those who talk too much & to calm places where an excess of energy is present. 7 fl. oz.

Anyone hear of a scent called Florida Water. I have heard it is a popular scent with the Latino Community & people of the Catholic Religion.

This is just what I heard from a friend who suggested this scent.

I looked on the Fragrance Finder and found one source but they appear to be out of business.

Yes 16 oz = 500 ml

Recommened pouring temp for J223 180-190 degrees. I have never poured mine that hot. I usually pour between 145-155 degrees.

Now I am all confused. I thought it was "resident extraterrestrial" that was on green cards not resident alien.

Yeah I use this:

I dont believe in Aliens anyway, extraterrestrials yeah now maybe that is a possibility but not Aliens they dont exist.

"Hey look its Top" hehe just kiddin Maybe Top has the wick.

Thanks for all the serious replies. We come to this board to learn, we are not all experts like "topofmurrayhill" so no need to make fun. I really didnt think of it as a joke when I posted. Never happend to me before.

J223

1.) I do preheat my Jars

2.) I do pour between 145 - 155 degrees

3.) I do secure my wicks with High Temp Glue

I usually do get a small hole at the top of my pint mason jars, I reheat with a heat gun and the wax melts down and fills the air pocket. I guess I must not have gotten this one. Just was wondering if I was doing something wrong or this was just some type of flook.

Should I poke relief holes along side the wick when the wax in hardening?
