  1. That sounds like the place I just had it happen from. Several scents were changed. She said "what you got is what you got". In the end she did emailed back with "Oh there was something wrong". Alot of the same oils Ive used from this place have changed (and not just from the phalates removal..Its MAJOR). Sorry that happened to you!
  2. Okay you guys are a dream!!! Per suggestion I tried 2 Csn wicks as I seen they had a size 9 at candle science . Wow !!burning steady ,perfect mp and beautiful throw , I could almost cry! Lol I Just thought those wicks were more for palm but boy did they work in this setting! The 9 seems to fall in between a Cd 8- cd-10. Im So happy ,I spent so long testing this one style and scent thought it was hopeless . I love this forum ;)thank you P.s Please forgive any typos as I'm doing this on my iPhone and the screen is small! Ha
  3. Interesting info here, thank you everyone! What gets me is the majority of chandlers making these " cake in a jar" style candles are only using one wick!!?? Ive always doubled wicked and most likely will continue to do so, but I know single wicking is even more involved . Kudos to them:)
  4. Thank you! I'll be remaking this 6 layer jar again tomorrow and try that. I did not know that about the wicks meaning the 83's ! I figured the htp 104/105's would be a match for the 8's/10's.. Interesting!!
  5. Hey all, I've been in love with CD wicks for several years and buy them in bulk. Normally the Cd8' and 10's with my 464 wax in the 9 oz hex or double wicked apothecaries . My problem is with some of my bakery style candles in my 16oz apothecaries ( whipped wax and embeds etc) the CDs drown out every so often and the 10's are too deep of a mp and huge flame :embarasse i keep remaking them and moving the embeds , trying different techniques and no go. testing is just so fun huh??lol Anyway, anyone have a old thread they can post of maybe info on something that would be in between these 2 sizes etc ? I do have lots of wicks i can try and will ( thinking maybe something that dosent self trim) but didn't if anyone knew if there was a wick between these 2sizes more like a 9 ??! I couldn't pull up much with my iPad search. Thanks so much!!
  6. I too use Homemade apple pie that used to be from KY now RE. A neighboring Chandler uses the ST Baked Apples and it smells (to us) identical. Great throw with both!!
  7. Just wanted to FYI . I heard from Kathy today from ICS. She said she ordered a new batch of her newer version of cinnamon buns and it should be back to normal. I'm super happy to hear this as there was such a difference in smell, burn and HT. So if any have tried this and given up, hopefully it was a manufacter error with this recent batch. Also.. I mentioned Cade's cove from ss seemed different oob, once I got it in wax it was the same, so please disregard that statement
  8. I just got my VBN from ICS. I ended up emailing TNC to beg for VBN. Im sure they are sold out but thought I would try as theirs is amazing!!
  9. Whew , Im glad there are some that still seem to be the same. I agree most CS oils seem unchanged to me too. I just got these in today and This Version Smells Like the classic more than the newer one I was used to.The Cranberry Orange Spice Ive used for years and this time is not the same even side by side both are totally different .Kathy said she will check with the manufactures to see if they changed anything. Maybe its a very recent issue.
  10. WEll sadly its hit me too. I just received orders from 6 different companies . While several of the oils were the same many were totally different ( Ill say IMO). I thought I got the wrong Cinnamon Bun from ICS as the One we used was awesome it was her newer version. I thought maybe she sent me the classic as it smelled like muffins with none of the original kick. She simply replied " Hello there, what you ordered is what you got". Its terribly disappointing to find your long used oils so changed. My Ones from RE that were formerly KY smell the same thank Goodness! I wish we could get a list going of whats changed and whats the same. Heres What I got that seemed Bland and totally different or weak to me. ICS: New Version Cinn Buns ICS/ST: Cranberry Orange Spice ICS Vanilla Bean Noel Southern Scentsations : Coconut Cream Pie (Coconut is almost non existent ) : Seychelles Cove (A lot of notes missing on this.looked like water)
  11. @chandlerwicks ..I did this morning early and they already sent me a "shipped" notice. I wish I would have known they took request before I ordered. I searched the site for vanilla bean noel, it wasn't even on there let alone with a sold out notice:( I also order the vbn from ICS today.
  12. You guys are really sweet thank u.. I always see every flaw in every soap, Im trying to embrace em or call the flaws "Art"..lol
  13. Im sorry I left off the 25..yes 0.125 (and should have put .05) Thanks for the correction .
  14. Congrats on the Cp!! Looks great! I LOVE the watermelon Soap, very artsy!
