Isbennis, I did a craft show today and sold every warmer I purchased through Colonial Tin. Almost weekly they have a variety of warmers on sale. I check weekly and purchase ones I am interested in. I had been doing this this for about 4 months to stock up on a variety of warmers. The box warmers with sayings such as "Always Kiss Me Goodnight" were a hit. Sold 12 of them and could of sold more, but ran out of those. Had 10 dog house warmers and sold all of them. I won't pay regular prices on their warmers. Eventually every warmer will be on sale at one point or another. I love the looks of the weathervane warmers, but missed the chance of buying them on sale. I'll have to watch for them to go on sale again. One bonus about these is that they do not look like Scentsy warmers in any way. I really think you will like their warmers.

Thank you Chrisinpa. You get it. I was also hoping that this might ease any intimidations that some may be having in regards to Scentsy. Has anyone seen their partially burnt candles or partially used clamshells listed on Craigslist?

I was just browsing under the household section of Craigslist looking for a washer and dryer for my daughters apartment when I see the heading ...... (Two Scentsy Partially Used Bars) I busted out laughing before I clicked to see what this was all about. My stomach hurts and I literally have tears running down my face. I can barely type to share this. Heading....... Two Scentsy Partially Used Bars..........I have the 3.2 oz size "Mad About Mint" & "Grape Granita" scents. The mint has two blocks missing and the grape has one. These were just not scents I ended up liking.They were 5.00 new. Make me a reasonable offer. I am willing to ship-you pay the shipping..............I needed a laugh like this!!!!!!!! I feel great.

I just received a sampler box of their top 12 fragrances, vanilla select being one of them. All the samples smell fabulous.

I will call tomorrow. My company thought it was ready to go up in flames. I will try another one from the case to see if I just happened to get a faulty one. Better me than a customer.

I thought the same thing but its been 6 hours and still smoking. Not a good selling point. By the way your warmer is going to smoke and stink during the first couple uses. I also got the heating plate warmers from them today, love those. May call tomorrow and see if I can swap the illumination warmers for the others.

I just received an order from candle warmers. I noticed some smoke releasing from the top and thought maybe it was fragrance oil burning off. Lifted the bowl off and out comes a cloud of smoke. I called candle warmers and they said to add more melts. I told them that wasn't the problem as I had put enough tarts in for adequate depth of melted wax. She then said the burning smell may continue for the first couple uses. Is this to be expected from the illumination warmers?

Thanks ChrisR.......Divine chocolate scent, 10+

I was looking through my book of notes from this forum and noticed cranberry orange spice and baked apple highlighted under ICS . Guess its time to add yet another supplier. Money going out does not = money coming in, but I'm sure having fun.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I buy many fragrances from CS. I'll place an order tonight.

I'm in need of a cinnamon bun scent that will throw great in Ecosoya PB.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can't wait to try that Belgian Chocolate. I may even make a candle for myself. I threw in the towel on candle making about 6 months ago. Too much testing and very expensive. Just making tarts and selling warmers now. Soaping is on my list of things to try, just not now. Thanks again for all your great suggestions. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks Chris, I just ordered 16oz of belgian chocolate. I have never ordered from them before. Their dark espresso vetiver was being offered as the scent of the week, so I threw that on my order. If you only carried one vanilla, what would you choose? My goal is to carry a max. of 25 scents, 25 awesome scents. That means I have alot of tossing to do.

Oops, spelling error. I was trying to say who can resist a goat?

Hi Maggie,

My daughter's school is having a harvest fair tomorrow. Students are bringing their animals for a mini petting zoo. We have goats, bunnies, chickens, one pony and possibly a pig for a meet and greet. You can resist a goat.

My last chocolate didn't come close to approval with my testers. Worst feedback ever. I'll gladly try chocolate espresso, as I would very much like to carry a chocolate scent. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well liked works for me. Some of my personal favorite scents would not be considered kick butt.

Thanks Chris. I'll definately give them a try.

Has anyone used fragrances from Bramble Berry in wax? I know their a supplier for soap makers, but was curious how their fragrances would do in soy.

Hi Tootie,

Lot number..... (07:33:49)

Hope your candles are OK.

Tootie,

I am experiencing every problem, sinkholes, rough tops, etc.....I went as far as pouring 10 candles at a 5 degree difference ranging from 115-160. So much can happen between the harvesting and final product being shipped out. I have way too much money and time invested using the 464. I will have to bite the bullet and order another box. I am testing other waxes just in case.

My box of 464 is dated 12-19-09. I called CS twice last month in reference to this. I understand that batches may vary and that a variable or two may need some adjusting. This batch needs more than adjusting, it needs to be buried!!!!!!!!!

Have been testing 464 for 7 months, and really felt I had it mastered. My last batch from CS has me feeling like I am back to my first week of candle making. It has been a nightmare. So much so that I am back to testing other waxes. So frustrating to start all over again. This nightmare led me to this site, and that I can be grateful for.
