Those are so cute! I wondered if you could use candy nonpareils. I didn't know if they would catch fire or not.

eclamshell's definitely are thinner. They are jammed together so it is hard to get apart. I have bent, warped and even cracked some of them trying to get them apart. They bow out a little when filled with wax. I am not sure if the savings justifies the time spent getting them apart and quality. These are not manufactured the same regardless if they have the same #.

dianad: I get the same if not a smidge more from my wax batch into the eclamshells as the impact ones.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I was using the right ones or not. Mine have the little circles on the bottom of each cavity.

So happy for you! Very nice setup.

Those are so adorable!! I'd almost hate to burn them!

I've never order from eclamshells or Impact. Do their clamshells hold a full 3 oz. or more of wax? I bought a few recently from another supplier, and I'm only able to get about 2.85 oz. filled to the brim.

You might try Cracklin' Birch from NG. It has a little Pine smell to it, but not overpowering. Very nice.

Aren't they fun? I just made one in Butt Naked. A bear family is a great idea!

They look very nice. Hope they fly out the door!

That's something to be proud of!! Best of luck!

How nice of you to write this all up to help someone new!

My vote goes for Millcreek's C&BS!

LOL! I know what you mean about that scent. I hope I never have to smell it again! I finally just gave it away to an unsuspecting friend to use in an oil warmer. Good Riddence!!

"It was in a box, right? The boxes are new, so they're clean...."

That response doesn't surprise me at all! Good luck getting satisfaction with them. That's the only place I've ever ordered wax from, that wasn't in a bag with a label and an invoice. You just get a box with a hunk of dirty wax in it. Check out the weight of the oils when you buy them, also.

Every time I've bought wax from them, it's always been the same way. No wrapping, and crud all over it.

Internet search shows his age as 49.

Millcreek's Chestnuts & Brown Sugar ROCKS in my paraffin blend! Very strong!

The one that does work GREAT for me is the Blueberry Blast Off. Strong, works in everything, smells good enough to eat!

Big thumbs up for Peaks Black Canyon!! Love it!

OMG! I forgot about Musk- I'm a dinosaur from the 70's, and there was a guy in our group that wore musk ALL the time- now THAT is cat piss to me!

Rob might like the Mary Jane FO I've got on the classies-- I've tried & tried to use it, but can't find anything I like it with-STRONG! Very resinous smelling to me. I just put a Moonworks Native Princess on the classies, too-- I think some have said it is the same as Patchouli Honey. Too perfumey "pretty" for me! I like the heavy, manly, incensey types myself. I have some Majmua that I use for incense he might like. I could send him a sample. I like your name "gay cop"- may have to try using that!

Black Raspberry Vanilla smells like cat piss to me - but other people like it so it must be me!!

LOL! I have the Black Raspberry Vanilla, and I like it! I do know what cat piss smells like, and it ain't good! One that alot of people like is Nag Champa- I always dread having to make it. Can't stand Dragon's Blood either. That one is close to cat piss to me! I love Sandalwood, Patchouli, Black Canyon etc. but, Dragon's Blood makes me gag!

Funny how we all have a different sense of smell. I just got a new bottle of CS Smoke & Odor Eliminator. To me, it smells like spicy Juicy Fruit gum. When a friend smelled it, she made an awful face and said it smelled like VINEGAR-spicy vinegar!! LOL! Never had anyone say that before! Have any of you had something like that happen before?

I had trouble with oils from this company-that's on another thread. There was some oils that simply wouldn't mix with my wax-paraffin. The samples that I was able to use, I also got little to no scent from them once they were made up in wax. Very dissapointed with all oils from this place. I've been keeping an eye on this thread to see how others have made out. Sounding more and more like I'm not the only one who's had trouble. I also tried using these oils in ornies and sachets, only to end up with a mess that had to be thrown out. It seems the ones with the best luck with Only Fragrance oils, are the ones using some type of soy.

Good for you! Just in time for the Christmas rush!

Got a tart in the melter right now, and LOVE it!!
