I'm ordering from CS right now and thanks to Debra P I am also looking into Only Frangrance. How many FO do you need to have in order to join the FOHO club? I think I'm almost there.

I have a friend who just love CS's Bayberry.

I still have Vanilla Latte and Vanilla from Berts. I'm going to have to find a replacement bc I have several customers who love this scent.

I second:

Lemon Biscotti Pie and

Vanilla Latte

Also:

Black Raspberry Vanilla

Fig Melon

Cucumber Melon

Juicy Watermelon (to me this one is very bubble gum like but my family love it.)

Hth.

I have one and it works great. The gel evaporates into the air and leaves very little residue. It was a gift.

Thanks EnvyCandles. I'm going to check after the holiday and

hope they have some left over and are willing to make a deal.

With Easter just around the corner I've seen some really nice baskets at stores. Do they usually have them at a discount after Easter? The baskets would be great to use as gift baskets. I can't recall ever seeing baskets on sale after Easter but I really never paid attention. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about this.

I say just brush it off and continue biz as usual. Just think KARMA.

Come up with other creative and different candles or scents and you'll be nothing like them.

Hugs!

.... Wick stick-ums just come off the glass when wax is poured. I've been making candles for 10+yrs and never had a problem this way, and I tested candles for 3-4yrs before that before even selling them.

I use wick stickums from CS and they have never come off when I pour hot wax. Actually, I have to really heat the bottom of the jar and use a screwdriver to take them off.

I would not sell or gift a candle without securing the wick. Just saying!

Oh..I really like both. Nice job.

I don't know if this is the same but when I was a direct sales consultant we had online vendor shows. Every vendor that signed up had 1/2 to talk about their products and answer questions from others in a live chat.

Basically, you introduce yourself, talk about your products, give out your website addy and then answer questions. You can also give discounts and so forth. I got a few orders this way and it drove ppl to my website. It's worth a try.

I don't use straight 4630. I blend with soy 444 or PB Ecosoya and I use htp wicks. I tried LXs and zinc wicks but I didn't like the mushrooms and the flame was HUGE.

They are adorable!! I use to have one as a kid. It was my favorite doll and I couldn't sleep without her.

I was trying to figure out what color to do Jamaica Me Crazy....any suggestions?

I poured my Jamaica Me Crazy a pineapple color. Yellow with a tiny hint of brown. I couldn't think of another color but I like the idea of aqua.

I just got my CS order today too. I love all the ones I ordered. I will be posting a review soon.

As long as it catches up at the end, I'm perfectly happy with a little hangup. In fact if your jar is wider on top, it is to be expected. My candles have a hangup until they are 2/3 burned down.

Thanks! Great to hear that!! I use a clear tumbler and the hang up is miminual until just below half way. I tried to wick up but the jar got too hot for my taste. Maybe I was expecting too much.

Sounds like you may have a winner. Thats why you test your candle burn all the way to the bottom. Some wax combos don't catch up until the later half of the candle burns down.:smiley2:

I use htp wicks with my para/soy blend. I have a few FOs that leave a small amout of hangup until the very end. I have tried to wick up but the jar gets too hot. Are you saying it's okay to have the hangup until the very end? How far down the candle?

I've just restarted testing again and I thought at least by the 2nd or 3rd burn it should be caught up or no good.

Thanks guys for all your help. :smiley2:

Welcome back to the board and congrats on the new baby.

Oh, I like these.

They look great!!! I like the darker color.

@Candybee - It did sound interesting but I would hate to have to mess with the candle all the time. I didn't read the reviews before posting.

YIKES!! That's a lot. I recently ordered jars and am still in the testing phase. I sure hope that when I need to reorder it's not this bad. Sorry.

Has anybody seen this? Kinda interesting. Seems you decide how long you want the candle to burn (20 min per inch above the coil).
