    Was there a noticible difference in ST with the one with CO? I have been wanting to try that sooo bad but havent had the time.. I am very curious.. I love the that combination for a blend.. I just wish I could elimate having to heat my jars to get great adhesion.. Emily

    My DH and DD said the sugar cookie smelled like cake.. So that is as far as I took that one.. I wanted a cookie...LOL Asian Amber is great! Peeps around these parts say they use it as an aphrodisiac(sp?) If you are applying this in a candle..wick up. I have samples of the other scents but have not put them in wax yet..I do love the Black Currant and Nectarine oob. HTH a little... Emily

    I don't use 415 but I make a blend with 85/15 223/464.... CT and HT is the best I have found so far..To get good adhesion however, I have to warm my jars and I pour at 160.. I love lx wicks the best but I have been trying the zincs in my 8 oz jj's. I use 44-32-18 and it is mushrooming horribly too. I have read this forum alot and most everybody uses the zincs with 223 but then I read that you shouldn't use zincs with a parasoy blend..So?????? I think I am getting better scent throw and barely any mushrooming with the lx's so I am going to stick with them.. HTH! Emily

    Sharon, thanks so much.... I have searched for awhile and have tried several that was just the crisp clean type but not what I was looking for..... I can't wait to get it ordered and try it out:yay: This will also be my first time trying NG so I am excited about new variety too... Thanks again, Emily

    I was testing it with mainly CS oils.... Cranberry Marmalade..Pumkin Souffle..Rainwater.. Bird Of Paradise..and a few others. I started out with 6% fragrance load but my tarts was just not coming up to the ones I made with 464...Went up to 9% and no difference..I made a few votives using LX14 and 9% fo and I was just not pleased with that either.. I'm glad its working for you but my quest has to continue.. Emily

    I had been using 464 for my tarts but wanted to try something different because of all the smearing on my packaging so I ordered 10 #'s of Eco PB and I am not impressed.... I even went up to 9% and waited 2 weeks and still can't get the HT that I was with the 464... I am going to try blending it 50/50 for tarts till it's gone and then I am gonna try KY's votive blend.. I have not tried to dip anything so I am curious bout that too! Emily

    Sweet Linen Tutti Frutti Linen Peachy Sheets And I like the sweet dreams too! Emily

    Number 5 would be my first choice and then number 9 would be my second...

    Is is the smaller one? If so I single wicked alot of my scents using 464 with lx 24...I sometimes double wicked with lx 14..that is as far as I got in testing that wax with that jar.. HTH!!! And sorry for getting a little off topic! Emily

    Oh my gosh... It is beautiful.... Absolutely love the colors... I wish I could do that... Emily

    I really really wanted to try some of his fo's, but now I never will. I am just a peon too and that is way out of my league.. I missed the sample sale and now I am glad I did cause that would have been money wasted with that minimum.... That company is too wishy washy for me.. Something is changing every other day.. I like stability! Just my thoughts.... Emily

    Clamshell wax ???

    pwillo2 replied to LeahRB's topic in Wickless

    From the way everyone talked I thought I could not possibly afford the KY tart wax with shipping but I emailed Vickie and lo and behold it will be cheaper for me than I am paying for the Eco PB.....So I will be placing an order this week. I just hope I get the great results like all these rave reviews I have read about it...LOL Emily

    I used mostly CS oils when I was testing this wax and mostly all the three leaf rating ones I tried threw great... I will have to look back at my notes but i remember Cranberry Marmalade, Honeysuckle Jasmine, Wildberry Mousse, RainWater, Honeydew Melon, Brandied Pear, and Macintosh Apple throwed strong using cd and eco wicks in my 8 oz jj's.... HTH! Emily

    I think soy has a better CT overall. Though it really does matter which wax specifically because my J223 is right up there with my 464 at this point. Emily

    CS has htp wicks.... When i was playing with 464 in a 2.5" diameter container, I got great burns with an Eco 4...I could not get a good burn with htp wicks.. CD's did great too.. And it was an 8 for a 2.5" but CS does not have those... Emily

    I played around with the CO in my soy applications and I have just recently started playing with parafin and was wondering about the CO in parafin.... After awhile my soy candles that I made with the CO seemed to morph so I gave it up. Have you happened to of tried a test for that in the parafin? Thanks for the info! Emily
  22. pwillo2
    I am wondering if these survey results would still be accurate? Just curious cause I am searching for info on 4633..... Thanks!
  23. pwillo2
    When I was using this wax I used Eco 4 or 6, Cd 8, 10, 12, and the Lx's was a 14 or 16.....In my testing, I found the Eco wicks to perform the best...then the cd then the lx...for the 8oz jj's... Never tried the 8oz tins only 6oz... HTH! Emily
  24. pwillo2
    I think Eco 4 is pretty close to cd8.... an maybe htp93/104.. I am just now trying out the htp wicks so a little iffy on that one... HTH! Emily

    I use 464 with a 6% FL and a 3" diameter jar and my wick size is either a 10 or 12. I like to keep my MP around 1/4" deep or otherwise it tends to burn my scent off to quik. Hope this helps! Emily
