Welcome, enjoy the ride!

Hi & Welcome fellow Central Cal neighbor!

It absolutely gags me from both companies.  I think CS is a stronger one, but honestly with hating the scent it's hard to tell for me.  It always was a great fall seller so I made it.  I had to have others test for me.

I have never bought from them directly, I did buy some on the classies here, well they came in a lot I bought.  The few bottles I had were good, I can't even remember the name but one was so good and when I went to reorder it they no longer had it so I didn't add as a supplier.   Lady I bought from here made perfumes only not candles or soap.

Late to the party but the 2" are nice imo.  Also you will need to most likely wick down because tins are not the same animal as glass!

We prob all got over zealous at the beginning, I don't remember that far back but I'm sure I did!  Like they said start slow with 1 container and 1 wax and several wick options.  You can find threads about pulling out a wick that you know won't work and replacing it with another.  No scent until you can get the jar/wick combo right.

I love it.  I think you're logo is great, site draws attention and I'm in awe of those cans!   No negative, just promote away on social media and they will come!  You may just get some orders from members here.

Been seeing this add everywhere from Yahoo to FB. I'm not buying it. Anyone here who is a fairly good candlemaker can make one for half the price that probably burns way better too. All you really need is a good odor eliminator FO. I used to make them myself an they worked fantastic.

 

I agree totally, I just am a sucker and always buy others candles.  For 1 I like to see if what they say is true, like to see if I can figure out which wax it is and see how they burn.  Also I just like candles.  

I don't know about your wax but the Premier wicks seem to come in the most sizes so you can always find that in-between for the tougher fo's.

That's some bonfire!

Put this here because they are soy candles, maybe belongs in business section.

Another promotion all over the web, claims they are great so of course I need to order one, lol.

Glad you liked what you got!  There are 3 offhand that I can think of that always sell out quickly.  Monkey Farts. White Tea & Ginger & Stargazer Lily (which I gag on but it sells really well)

Looks interesting in a good way.   In the "comment" section on Candlescience, someone says the wax gets to 167 (according to Chandler & Me).  Isn't that too low to add fragrance oil?  I add at 180-183.

Definitely too low for some waxes.  If I add at below 175 I get droplets of fo on top of wax after it cools like it didn't bind completely.

Those are great!  They look like removable slats.  @Candybee yours are great too. 

Welcome!

Hermoso puesta de sol en Cabo which is beautiful sunset in Cabo or just Cabo Sunset, lol.  It does have all those other scents from Mexico.

I personally think it depends where you are selling.  In your own store I think all should be the same.  I a space in a store I don't think it matters as much if you let the old run out.   If you can, run a sale on the old labeled items so they move faster.  I think I'd prob do the same at shows, discounted basket or table. 

So nice to see another former come back.  I remember looking at all your beautiful creations so please post pics as you create again!  See, they do return @Ravens

Look great and Eco friendly!!

Seriously, I know time flies but really?  I don't want to think about Thanksgiving or fall until at least August, lol.

If it doesn't seem like it has dried out it probably will still work.  I'd just try a small batch to see but you can usually tell by feel if it dried at all.

Love many of their oils and I think they are one of the few that shipping is cheap on oils.  Their shipping options tell you exactly how many  8 oz or 1# bottles will fix in a box and I love knowing that ahead of ordering.

I get the heating and stirring aspect but C3 has to cool before you pour it or it's a nightmare so how would that work?  Also if adding fragrance to it you might not want a huge vat of the same fo but def more than 10 oz so maybe the bigger one.  My other concern would be cleaning out the old fo to start a new one.  IDK I think it is a great idea that needs much thought?

I picked up a couple from a place that went out of business.  They are great for certain jars, some didn't fit.  I did like the security of not tipping and that I could easily move the candles.  It also seemed to insulate some for slower cooling.  I only used when making a lot of candles at one time, 24-48 was a lot for me. 

Gosh the theft is just crazy, they will try anything.   My credit card # was stolen again. Thank God my bank caught it after just 1 charge, the other 2 bigger charges got stopped.
