  1. 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.

    OK I just wicked up using two HTP105's :confused: and the GNO still did not throw they wanted I wanted it to but the Chresh was a little better.

  2. I just got some of this from CandleScience and I am SO in love!!!! I haven't poured any yet, but I plan to this weekend. Anyone have any good experiences w/ this?

    I poured it last week before my vacation. I will burn to night and let you know what I think.

  3. 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.

  4. I use the same type of wax but I find with JS its hit and miss. Going to have to try this one, it sounds wonderful. At what temp are you adding the oil in?

    Thanks,

    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

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Hi Candleman-

    I did burn the JS Yuzu last night and up close there seems to be a bit of a fuel smell-wasn't strong though to me. But if I just walked into the room I couldn't notice.....

    Other than that how does the NG version compare to JS?

    Thanks

    Tracey

    Looks like we got the same results, the fuel smell was directly over the candle.

  8. what wax are you using? This time of year, I LOVE coconut candles....coconut and banana sound wonderful!

    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).
