  1. OK I just wicked up using two HTP105's and the GNO still did not throw they wanted I wanted it to but the Chresh was a little better.
  2. Using soy Mil blend from EL. Great cold throw on both, weak hot throw on GNO somewhat weak throw on Cherish. I double wick with the HTP104 and I could not reahc a full MP:confused: I will wick up and see what happens. Strange right? Over all I love both scents.
  3. I poured it last week before my vacation. I will burn to night and let you know what I think.
  4. Tested these over the weekend, while neither one is a favorite of mine I will add b/c the throw was pretty good. EL Soy Blend
  5. Same here, love the service and the products. Just curious if anyone else has to wick up as much as I do?
  6. I buy wicks from Enchanted Lites & I love them, I just have one question. I did all my testing using EL wicks & I noticed that I have to wick up, I mean a LOT!!!!!!! All of my candles require HPT104's or HPT105's (double wick). I still get a nice MP of 1/4" deep on average & a FEW (3-4 scents) about 1/2 inch. Im not switching to another company at all, just want to if anyone else has notice this? I ask b/c when I post my results (test burns) I dont want people to start with the larger wicks unless they are from EL and get a 1" MP based on MY results.
  7. Wow, I only use Peaks & JS (right now) & I would say about 85% of my test w/Peaks were sucessful & about 95% w/JS. Keep in mind I inquire about each FO w/the board before I test so the chances of me having positive results a really high. I add me FO at 175 and stir like crazy, I stir occasionally before pouring at 110-125% also and one last stir right before I pour. HTH
  8. No I didn't mix them, these were seperate burns.
  9. I would love to rename the Pink Lemonade but not sure what to call it.
  10. Just Scents :whoohoo: Does this say it all? EL Mil Container Soy
  11. Which one do I test first???? Baby Magic, Berry Licious, Blue Berry Cheesecake, Cherish, Choc Chip Cookie Dough, Cin French Toast, Coco Cream Pie, Flirt, Green Apple MArtini, Almond Lemon Magnolia, Merlot, Mimosa Manderian, Mulberry, Pina Colada, Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Raspberry Van Cream, Secret Recipe, Strawberry Cheese cake, Mojita Cocktail. Plus Satsuma, White Grapes, Kitchen Spice, Pumpkin Praline and Coco Lime Verbana.
  12. How do you ensure that your candles dont melt during shipping? Im shipping UPS and FEDEX, it takes up ot four days.
  13. Thanks I was feeling a little discouraged.
  14. Were these really complaints? 1. Customer bought 2 candles, Jam Me Crazy & Cotton Clean. Cotton Clean was lighter than Jam Me Crazy. I explained that it was just a lighter scent. It threw well just not as strong as the other. 2. Regular customer, she has purchased about 7-8 candles from me. She asked if she could have some for free, I told her no but I appreciate her business. I sold her a 16oz Jar for $8.00. Gave her the candle the week before the 4th of July, she paid me yesterday. I asked her 2-3 times over a period of 3 weeks for the $8.00. She finally gave it me & told me to leave her alone. She then complained "This candle is not as strong as the Strawberry, can I have some money back" "The candle burns to fast (1/4 MP) can I have some money back?" How do you handle???? I blame myself for selling on credit to friends. 2 complaints in one year, not bad.
  15. Just added three more Sugar Clementine Spice Winter Holiday Chestnuts and Brown Sugar
  16. Thank you all, I will be placing my order soon. I think I will wait on the Apple Martini, Baby Magic and Cherish. Now i just need to add three more.
  17. Looks like we got the same results, the fuel smell was directly over the candle.
  18. More Banana than anything else, but I still love the scent.
  19. EL Soy....the MP is fine, im at about 1/4 inch which is perfect. I will lower the amount of FO next time and test. But for now Im going to try and wick up just to see what happens (may get a stronger throw).

  21. Its been well over an hour now. I have a full MP that is less that 1/4 of an inch deep.
  22. Have you tried this scent? I testd this weekend and got a fuel smell.
  23. Testing now, I really like this scent. I used 1oz pp w/2 HTP 104's. Have yet to reach a full MP, it's only been about 30 minutes though.
