    I have also played with stearic acid and vybar (small amounts) separately and together and still did not achieve anything close to Beanpods product. Maybe I need to try again with varying amouns?

    I also was thinking along your train of thought. I've used many straight soy brands and a few parasoy blends and Beanpod seems to look and act more like a blend. I wonder if there's somewhere to send a sample of their wax to be analyzed.

    not happy with quite a few fo's from NG. Really like Candlewic's fo's has a "ultimate fo category" very strong scents even in soy. Also Justscents has great fo's and lists "strong" or "light" in soy. Have been very happy with both companies.

    I think you are using too much stearic acid which can inhibit scent throw. I'm not sure but I think you are supposed to use 1/2 to 1 tsp. per pound of wax which should also enhance scent.

    Carrie, thanks for all the information, you're a doll. I already ordered from Mill Creek but I'm definately going to try some calsoy in the near future. By the way, lots of snow and ice here (Chicago area) yesterday and today Brrrrrrr!

    What wick do you use with Calsoy? Do you know what type of blend calsoy is? Thanks for your response.

    Thanks fo answering. I'm from near Chicago and I often order from Miller Creek, they seem to have the cheepest prices on wax and the fastest and cheapest shipping then others I've tried. Wanted to give Calsoy a try though.

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this site but I've been reading your input for couple weeks now, very infomative. I've been making soy candles for more than a year now and you guys have helped solve some of my problems just by reading, thanks. I was wondering if anyone ordered Calsoy from Swan and do you know approx. shipping costs for 50 lbs. Thanks again, you guys are great.

    I use an "old fashioned" regular microwave all the time to melt down soy wax in jars, tabs and all. No problem.

    I have looked for "Beanpods" candle scent (Adirondack Mountains) for some time now. It is my all-time favorite. I would love to make my candles with this scent. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
