I have been trying to make medium strong, not even very strong scented vegetable blend candles. Have tried every formula/method under the sun and still have not come up with a perfect blend to create a nicely scented candle. Help! 1. My first try was with Cargill Nature wax 3-c. I initially used all 100% essential oils with this. Mixed in ess. oils at 125 degrees. Resulted in excellent cold throw and non-existent hot throw. Because I read that essential oils have bad hot throw, I made the scents with 50% fragrance oils and 50% ess oils. For everything I mixed 1 oz fo/eo per lb. 2. Second try was palm wax and Goldenbrands 464 Soy, , and only 10% beeswax. Mixed in the 50/50 EO & FO at 175 degrees. Barely any cold throw and nonexistent hot throw. 3. All goldenbrands 464 soy. Mixed 50/50 essential oils/fragrance oils at 175 degrees. Ok cold throw, but not anywhere as good as the Cargill c-3 cold throw, and still... nonexistent hot throw. 4. Goldenbrands 464 soy and 10% beeswax. Great texture. Mixed 50/50 essential oils/fragrance oils at 175 degrees. And guess what? Barely any cold throw and nonexistent hot throw. Can anybody explain why I can never get both a good cold throw AND hot throw for any of these combinations? The only thing that was worked with cold throw was mixing at a lower temp. But I have read that in order to "bind" the fragrance to the wax, I should mix at a higher temp so that is why I started to mix at 175 degrees and above. Unfortunately that has resulted in less cold throw!! And on top of it all I have read in numerous places that palm wax helps give the candle a strong hot throw -- but my results show that palm in my blends nearly eliminates the cold throw and does not help hot throw at all. Is it because I am using 50/50 eo and fo? Should I use all or mostly fo instead? Reason why is I really like the complexity of eo but there's no point if I will never smell it in burning candle! Would appreciate some guidance... my scented candles have no scent!
