  1. I have been successful double wicking 16oz apoth jars using 44-28-18 in J50 wax and getting a full melt pool. My only concern is that I think the neck of the jar is too warm to the touch for the first 3 hours of burn. After that I don't seem to have the same problem still warm but not uncomfortable. I also tried 2 CD10's and am having the same problem. I tried going down to 2CD8's but did not get a good melt pool. Any suggestions???? Maybe I should just give up on the apoth jars.

  2. I purchased a candle business 3 years ago and the previous owner predominately used the fo's from connies candles. I have continued to use her fo's and have been very happy with them. They throw great. I use j50 for my containers and 4794 for my votives.

  3. I have the fragrance snickerdoodle from c&s and it isn't my favorite scent nor has it been a big seller for me. I was wondering has anybody combined another fragrance with it to spike it up? I was thinking that maybe a little cinnimon stick added might help. Any suggetions?

  4. I am in the midst of investigating being able to accept credit cards for our candle business. We do not have a website yet but we do go to craft fairs and am starting to get some wholesale accounts. I would just like some input from anyone as to this credit card processing company.

    CitadelEFT associated with Bank of America. Rep told me that there is no contract, no extra fees other than $5.00 per month statement fee. No minimum per month and that we could go month to month with them. Visa and Mastercard - 2.03% +22cents transaction fee. If we wanted to add Amex 3.5% +22, and Discover 2.2% plus 22. It almost sounds too good to be true and I am a bit skeptical. Has anybody an opinion.???

  5. Apple Jack and Peel,

    Sage & Citrus

    Macintosh Apple

    Peaches & Peonies

    I like these and C&S has an offer when you purchase four or more fragrance oils you pay less. I have not had a problem with shipping because I always ask the cost of shipping when I place my order this way, if I can add more for the same price or a bit more I can do so at that time. I have never experienced anything but helpfulness from Cindy or the girls that work there.

  6. Just received the following scents from JS. Would appreciate any feedback about these scents. I use J50 for containers and 4794 for votives and tarts.

    Christmas Wish

    Exhale

    White Tea & Ginger

    Yuzu

    Oxygen.

    Was considering using Oxygen and White Tea and Ginger for electric candles and Exhale and Yuzu for aroma wands.

  7. I recently purchased 3 scents from Bittercreek for the reed diffusers. Two out of the three just don't have a scent throw. I was wondering could I add some fragrance oil like cinnamon or pine to increase the throw. If anyone has any info it would be helpful, I hate to waste the oils. If I can use them for other things that would be good too.
