Hey Thansk everyone....I did find them. They are at Early American Candle Supply. They are 12 1/2oz 3 1/2" T by 4" wide.....they dont have the lids though on their website. Anyone know where I can get just the flat silver lids to fit this size jar?

I think Early American Candles has them too.....but I dont see lids....looks like they have a flat glass lid for them but I am looking for the silver ones.

Hi I am looking to buy a jar and was hoping someone could help me. I am looking at the same jar that B&BW uses. Its the 14oz cylinder or bowl with the silver lid. I believe its 4' wide by 3"high. Is there a supplier out there that has the jars and lids? TIA

Ok I am going to take a stab here....I believe this was answered before. With the cotton core wicks they have a cotton core which is more flamable than a zinc core so it tends to burn faster/hotter. The zinc has cotton wrappings but the core is still zinc which is harder to burn than the cotton counter part. Hopefully this is right....that is what I believe I read somewhere else.

Early American Candles is HUGE! I am pretty sure they have the contract to make all the Glade Candles. They are a really huge company and most of their Business is contract work. They make Candles for multiple companies following that Companies recipe. I have spoken to their owner before, his name slips my mind though. He is a really nice guy. HTH

Hi Everyone.....I have a question about ROC on wicks. I have a parrafin Blend wax that I am mixing myself in a 3" Status Jar. Here are the wicks I have tried so far: 44-28-18 C ROC 0.22 Flame Height 1.5 good hot throw, it may be a little small 44-32-18 C ROC 0.23 Flame Height 1.5 no hot throw very weak 51-32-18 C ROC 0.24 Flame Height 1.6 smoking LX 18 ROC 0.20 Flame Height 1.5 weak hot throw. So would it be accurate to say that I need to try and find a wick that has a ROC around .22 that may have a lager melt pool than a 44-28-18c? Since the ROC of .23 on the 44-32-18c had very little hot throw is that because it was too hot and burned the FO off? And would the LX 18 with the ROC at .20 be not hot enough to produce a Hot Throw that was strong? Hope fully that made scents..LOL thanks!

That was a good thread.....I guess the next question is who is selling what wicks? Candlewic makes thier own....who sells the other wicks?

Hi Everyone....I was just curious where everyone gets their wicks from. I dont think all wicks are created equally. I get mone from Candlewic. I ordered some ecos from CandleScience and they look completely different than Candlewics so I thought I would ask where everyone gets their wicks from and also...Why did you settle for that company? Was becuase they were close to where you live or did you just really like how they perform compared to other companies? After seeing the difference between CandleScience and Candlewic, I am curious now about ordering other wicks to see how they work. TIA

Steph....pm'ed you.

They told me they have a few soy and soy parrafin blends. As well as a one pour container wax....however....if yo buy a case its $165.00 a case.....the break point is reached on large volume orders only. What do you use the candelilla wax for....dont thin i ever used it before

OK I just recieved my waxes! :yay:I poured 3078, 3022 and 3020 in 12oz status jars. 8% fo load of Balsam and Cedar from NG and two drops of dye....nothing else....cant wait to burn these...I hope these waxes workout for me.

Hi Just bumping ths thread...I know its old.....has anyone ever used this wax company or do you know anything about them? Thanks

Hey Steve....thanks for the info.....I just figured the status was just like a tumbler.....straight sides and all.. Do you use a lid on the tumblers? If so were do you get them? TIA

Hi Eric.....that was showing under 10% of Micro not vybar:cheesy2:

Lol thats what I thought too....but it isnt happening for me.....I tried moving the J50 to this tumbler......in a Mason jar it throws awesome.....but in the status jar I have a weak HT.....tried all different wicks and no good....the only difference is the mason is 2.75 inches I believe and the tumbler is 3 inches. I tried Joy Wax WOW wax, CBL125, CBL130, 6006, 4627and 4630 nothing seems to throw strong for me in a status jar. I use 1 oz FO per pound Honestly, I hate JJ and Mason jars....i am trying to get a more sophisticated looking jar(single wick) to use in my line. I thought about uping the amount of fo but I dont want to waste anymoney.......I just added a little crisco to the waxes and it seemed to hlp a little but not as strong as the J50 and the mason jar....I must be nuts or just over critical of my porduct since everyone else seems to get good throw from the status jars.

Hi Everyone I am anxiously awaiting my Clarus 3078, 3020 and 3022 samples. Does anyone use these waxes? If so what are your thoughts and what size containers are using? I am looking to use one or two of these waxes in status jars....3" wide. For J50 users have you tried the 3078 and if so how was it compared to J50? I think the J50 changed to mush since when IGI took it over and I have not been happy with it since. Thanks!

THANK YOU I AM GOING TO CHECK THESE SITES OUT:smiley2:

Just bumping this thread.....I am struggling as well getting a good scent throw from a tumbler...its ok...rather on the weak side but nothing like a jar with a narrower neck.

Thanks Brad for all your help.....i have IGI2281, 125 mp from C&S(straight paraffin) and container full(candlewic). My micro is micro 845 from candlewic.......what would be the most amount you would add of micro to the base parrafin assuming 15% will be petro.....I also noticed some of the glass on j50 has a tiny bit of frosting so they may add alittle beeswax or soy to their mix as well...what do you think? What blend do you have with out the petro that you mentioned? Thanks

Hey Brad....if I was looking at say a J50 wax, I dont think this wax has alot of petro....i think it seems to have a "taffy" like blend compared to a comfort blend. Would I assume that they used a higher level of micro and may have diluted it with mineral oil to make it softer? Does that make any sense? I used a basic recipe of container full, 30 % Petro and 2% vybar with 1oz of FO and though it setup nice, the throw was weak. I backed down the vybar and tried again but the throw was still weak. It also had ripples on top which to me looked like to much vybar? I eliminated the vybar but still a weak throw...I can believe I cant make a straight basic paraffin blend that throws ok....what am I doing wrong...any suggestions? Thanks! Sorry my FO was from Peaks so I know it was a good scent. I use 3 inch tumblers. Tried multiple wicks...cd's, cotton core, lx's....TIA

Hi Stella...Thanks for responding...I have been looking through candle patents and have notcied with some the patents, they seem to use a mixture of fatty acids. When you look at supply stores they just show stearic as the main one. Alot of the patents say the stearic actually performed bad in the vegi blends and to use other fatty acids like these The preferred fatty acid components of the triglycerides include palmitic acid , oleic acid, arachidic acid and behenic acid. What are these? Also what is a crystal modifier? LOL lots of questions...THANKS

Hi Everyone, Can anyone tell me what are fatty acids that are added to candles? I know searic is but what other ones are out there? Seems like that is the one that is used most....but was curious what else is considered a fatty acid and used too. TIA:smiley2:

Ok thanks......seems when I use it my HT is weaker.....I thought it would be better due to the larger melt pool the petro would create but I think it was the opposite

Hi Everyone....I had a question about Petro as an additive. I know this helps with adhesion and helps with a larger melt pool but does this weaken the scent throw? Since its basically micro and oil, I am assuming it holds more FO therefor binds it. TIA

Hi Top...I sent you a PM...not sure if you would notice it so I posted it here so you can look ...THANKS
