JS orange chiffon is awesome! LeeAnn~

There are so many different factors for a wax not to perform. Some has nothing to do with the supplier or yourself, has everything to do with the wax/fo combo just doesn't work. And some of you(as myself) found the fo/wax combo that worked for you, and then for whatever reason...you changed wax,and the same fo doesn't work!( our problem)It is not our supplier its the combo not working! However our wax did change to begin with, that is why we are on a new wax formula. Gosh are any of us sane? Anyeway I hope that makes sense, if not maybe someone else will say it better. Have a blessed day, LeeAnn~

If your other scents are peforming good then yes it could be the fo. It was originally our wax but with our new formula, We are having difficulty with a few of our existing scents...we are trying different wicking but the fo might not be compatible with our new wax...we will see! One FO at a time! Wish you luck! LeeAnn~

Have you changed cases of wax? Different batch numbers? I recently switched wax(due to that very problem) and I have a few oils( Two most favs) in my new wax that is giving me fits! I am having to change my wick fo to tweek this fragrance! And my leather is driving me crazy! I am very picky...have tried every leather and the one I use isn't acting like it did! If I can not get it to behave to my expectation...I will have to move on to a different supplier. (anyway just a little food for thought....) Have a blessed day, LeeAnn~

I have had that happen too! Just under and ounce...Hate that!

We keep them the same! LeeAnn~

I guess it could be either wax or fo but in our case is was the wax.(our candles were doing exactly what you are discribing) we thought it was our fo but NO it was not! It was a totally different wax! We are reformulating as I type! We understand your frustration! We just about have it again! Best of luck to you, LeeAnn~

2,201.00 ...wonder how they are calculating it! LeeAnn~

We definantly change wicks with pliers. If the wick gets a week flame, if its not throwing in 30 min..change wick! About the time you have it figured out something else will change...and back to testing! But also after you figure out which wick with pliers...When you repour that scent you still do a full test burn! Doesn't take the full test away...just the number of candles it takes to find the right wick! LeeAnn~

on my to trys list also was some pipe tobacco with leather! I had heard that awhile back...just hadn't played with it yet! LeeAnn~

We love our leather! So do our customers. A Vetenary clinic...stocks my Leather N Lace...she loves,lovesloves it! My daughters daycare...same thing! The director loves it too! Personally one of my favs also. But then again we love leather! Try a guys cologne with it! We are working on that...and just about have it...this one is great too! So you can get a sexy leather...we do, feminine and masculine. LeeAnn~ :smiley2:

We use fireplace from GL and absolutly loved it! Well we changed wax and of course...that fo is not working out now( sad,sad day). Anybody know of a close dup? I did do a search...but I think maybe my nose isn't sure exactly what I am picking up. I looked up peaks spruce tree...but that had something mixed with it. Does pine and cedar smell the same? different? Maybe if someone has smelled this scent they can point me in a direction. Thanks, LeeAnn~

AH and Js passionate kisses! I order from both suppliers and Really like them both! probably because they are the same!

BCS Lemon pound cake!

AH caramel sensations!

The oils we have tried have been very good! JS is awesome! LeeAnn~

Taylored concepts has what the numbers mean. LeeAnn~

Awesome! Beautiful soaps! And your shop is super cool! LeeAnn~

I vote for the blend! I will say I am currently testing 4 waxes with different combos...couple are pariffin blends so when we are testing if the parifin blend is better that is what we will go with. My goal is great quality, creamy, smooth, excellent throw. I am not trying to market soy or pariffin,which ever has the better candles with those qualitys. LeeAnn~

We do double wick the 16. We did use 12% but also did 6%,8% when we noticed it to be different...nothing helped. most will say why use that much, just our prefrence...we waited for a different shipment of 70/30...still was NOT what we had in the past. So as of right now Husband is bringing home 4 other waxes! hopefully something will come of it. I don't even know what to tell you to do...this came at us out of no where! We had everything perfect and poof( as alot have experienced) all your testing,hardwork,out the window) I am just able to speak for that batch number...its probably NOT you. and we tested a new batch this weekend...HT was very week, CT was okay. So we are moving on. LeeAnn~

I believe that is the batch from the devil! I will double check. I double wick my 10 and 16oz. Thanks LeeAnn!

ummm what batch number of the 70/30 are you currently using? We love the 70/30 had NO problems with it and we got a batch that was umm not so pleasant to work with and it had those same problems. LeeAnn~

I can see paying higher price for soap. Not for candles though. 22.oo_24.00 is about all I am willing to pay for a pound. Now we also buy in bulk so that brings it down some too. LeeAnn~

Hey thanks! That did clear up alot! LeeAnn~

Are these two waxes the same thing? My supplier has both and seem to be different. But when I do a search on here it seems that either or is bringing up same threads. I think I will go pick up some tomorrow to test. Anybody like either one, or dislike? Thanks for your input! LeeAnn~
