    How about something super simple like "Hottie"... I am bad at renaming, I may need to just walk away :tiptoe: LOL Hubby is worse... he suggested Sweet Tits ....boy he knows how to be romantic huh?!

    Pretty please.... I am open to any opinions. I was thinking of trying Avalanche from AH/RE but have read that it gives a fuel smell.

    Hi, I am searching for a REALLY strong peppermint. The kind that will make you cry while burning it. I have tried KY's Icy Peppermint, but the hot throw was not what I want. I know a lot of suppliers have Peppermint, but do any have one so strong it will hurt ya? This is to be used in wax, not for skin care products. Any suggestions would be fantastic! TIA

    Can you center the pages in the web browser instead of having them to the left? That would be my rec for you. Other than that, it is a great start....

    Same thing happened to me. I started off with soy and gradually started phasing it out. Once I tried paraffin, it was a done deal. And I will never go back....

    I have sicilian merlot from JS and it is good. Not grape like, it is more like red wine. hth

    I need to place an order at ICS and wanted to know if anyone had any new recs?? I did a search... and got a few. I am ordering: Cinnamon Buns, Birthday Cake, Cactus and Sea Salt, and Pink Sugar. Was thinking of getting caramel nut cluster... Any other good ones I should look at!? I want to take advantage of the shipping cost! :smiley2: TIA

    I ordered yesterday and it shows a tracking # but no info for it yet. I ordered a case of wax to though... I should get it quick seeing how I am only a couple hours away!!!! And I am keeping my fingers crossed because I could always use a little trip into a bigger city for supplies. hehehe

    Thank you. I just ordered some 4794... I will mix it with my current wax to try to prevent the repour... but hopefully it will help cut down my costs a bit. :smiley2: Thanks for the help!

    I know, I saw that one and that is what made me test my sample from the candle source. I am still trying to put my list together to order!

    Do you use the liquid vapo rub for the humidifier... or the kind you rub on your chest?? :smiley2:

    I use online labels and they have a "matte clear" that looks frosted. hth

    That is what I am afraid of... Not even if you pop it into the freezer for a bit?? What is it's texture? Is it more like vaseline and super soft or do you beat the slabs with a hammer to break them apart? Thanks!

    I need to re-evaluate my wax situation. I love the wax I use but I have no idea what kind that it is and shipping to me is outrageous! Can you use the J50 for tarts?? The wax I currently use is soft with a melt point of 128 degrees (same as J50) and it works great. I am just not familiar with J50 and it's consistency. Any advice and information would be very helpful! TIA

    Just wanted to share that I made some Peppermint bark paraffin tarts ( from the candle source) at 9%, cured for 12 hours, and it smells wonderful!! It reminds me of hot cocoa with candy canes.... more cocoa than mint. :smiley2: Just wanted to share!

    Isbennis, were you able to single wick with these?? I too have a tough time with wicking this wax. I tried LX's and we don't get along! It was the worst. HTP's sometimes smell "burnt". CD's smoke like a wildfire. So far Zincs are good but mushroom pretty bad. I am currently testing ECO's and have been pleased with these. They do not mushroom and they burn pretty good. They will soot though if the wick is not kept good and trimmed.

    Be careful with the blog. I have one as well and it got marked as spam... of coarse I had a direct link to it so anyone who visited my page and clicked on "sales and news" got the warning page about the blog possibly being spam. I went through the hoops to get it unlocked... and it was within a couple days. Do not link back to your site if possible. I think that is what made their computer system think mine was spam related. Your site is very nice!!

    I have been testing mine with an electric burner and a t-lite. I do not add water to either. I have been testing a ratio of 25-50% oo and the rest is FO... for a total of 1oz. Most of them work good with 25% oo... there is a couple "give you a headache" scents that I up'd the oo on. So far so good. I like them a lot... and for the scents I love but can't get a huge throw from in wax, the oils are perfect. :smiley2:

    Thank you for the reply! It gives me something to start with...

    I love it too. I am not much of a vanilla fan... but this one is different. It is phenomenal! Awesome throw...
