  1. Hi Carol and Maryann! Maryann, that is some interesting stuff about location and weather effecting burn, I can't deal w/ anymore variables!!! Guess what? I ended up getting a killer throw from the Clothesline Fresh after all!!! It had cured awhile, do you guys find this is neccessary w/ Kathy's oils??? I mean, it cured at least 2 weeks (I won't say how long for sure, cause the candle sat awhile longer than that actually, I had about given up on it...:undecided ) Thanks for the input! Carol, do you have insider;s info on MC's new oils???? Any clues? I am going to make an order, I'd love a heads-up!!! Thanks!
  2. OK, I checked: it WAS MC's Storm Watch that I poured for someone, it was a dead on dupe and threw really well. A good one!!!
  3. I tried TN's dupe of the Cran. Chutney, nice scent, but no dupe, weak throw too, IMO... Meredyth, I thought RA had a $50 min.??
  4. Unfortunately, that's one of my partner's fav. Yank** scents,(the Cran. Chutney) and we've tried a few dupes, unsuccessfully though..:undecided I THINK MC has a dead on Storm Watch dupe (should've checked the site first before I posted that, sorry if I'm wrong folks... ) I should also add that since we started making candles and tarts, I will NOT burn a commercial product, and Yanks Warm Apple Crisp is like, my fav. scent ever... But, of COURSE you are forgiven!!!
  5. I felt like such a dope, my jaw actually dropped, we are addicted, folks!! LOL!!!
  6. I'm tellin' ya, I DID get a lot more done yesterday than I ususlly do, I have to say.... (That's NOT a good thing!) LOL!
  7. That is SO frustrating!!! I have found so many oils that folks RAVE about, and I can't get them to work-no how. I have found that I can have great luck w/ SOME oils from a supplier, and no luck whatever w/ others, even oils that folks rave about! You aren't alone. It must be half luck sometimes-it's like magic when you get a great throw, I breath a sigh of relief....:rolleyes2
  8. I TOTALLY second Peak's version, it is a lovely scent, had to wick up on it a bit, throw is awesome and a great dupe, AND seller for us, we keep it on our line year round!
  9. I guess my son doesn't want to live to see 14!!! Sorry, you may return to your regularly scheduled program!
  10. I don't know if this was my imagination or not, but I noticed when I used one of those toppers, that it affected my scent throw, anyone elso notice this?
  11. Gaye. Let me know if one of them is Honeysuckle, I have a feeling it's gonna be a good scent to have this year. Folks keep asking about it and I just read that Michi is selling lots of it in a fund raiser right now...Sherri has one, she said it sells well for her in her candles....
  12. I just checked Sherri's sale ad, she's got the Honeydew Melon on sale! I should really stock up, this oil's so good you almost want to drink it! A VERY realistic throw! Had 2 orders for candles in before I even rec'd my lb, I am probably gonna run out... She also has Honeysuckle on sale, I don't like carrying too many florals, but this is one I've had lots of requests for, has anyone tried hers? Thanks!
  13. If they are all the same wattage, I got one, and it was a "hotplate" style, it was 12 watts. I found it was too weak, which was a shame cause it was lovely, and big!
  14. Malinda, May I ask what kind of wax IGI 6006 is? Is it a straighht paraffin, of does it have some soy to it?
  15. How's everyone making out w/ this scent from Becky?? I am super interested (esp. in 50/50) cause I just rec'd my samples today and they were all awesome OOB, and this one is BEAUTIFUL! Are you guys getting it to throw in wax or do you think this is more suited to B&B?? thanks everyone!!!!!!!
  16. Christina, Looking forward to hear about the hot throw, we can never find a good cranberry!! Thanks!
  17. I can ABSOLUTELY recommend the WVA from MC:drool: !!! We carried it last season, it rocked in our 50/50, was an exact dupe of BBW, and sold out over and over for us!!!!!
  18. Oh my gosh....can you send me some by tomorrow...LOL! I'd love to send them in for my son's class...course then I'd have to take the credit for 'em too!!! Nice job!
  19. Sharyl, I have definately noticed that ceiling fans effect scent throw in my girlfriends house in summertime, she turns 'em off, ahhhh! we smell our stuff!!!
  20. Just poured Farmhouse's Red Delicious Apple last night, and OMG it is throwing like crazy in my 50/50... Just wanted to let you all know in case you're looking for a good apple scent-this one rocks! (I poured it at 10%, but I am quite sure it could be cut back, esp. since it is throwing this well after no cure, it's only gonna get stronger!) I have her French Vanilla to test as well, will post results after I pick up more wax this week!
  21. I just requested a sample of the Lemon Sugar, and broke down and asked for the Chai Tea, can't wait to try!
