  1. Hi Pixie! Thanks so much for all your help. Cooked oatmeal is a great way to describe the CB 135 tops after burning. I think I'm going to get a small amount of EZ Soy to mix with the 135 to see if that improves scent throw. I've also been thinking about adding a bit of beeswax in with the 135 to see if that helps the tops after burning. I'll let you know how everything works out. Take care! Andi
  2. Thanks for getting back to me. I know it's tricky to get a good throw when using EO's, but something has got to work better than the CBA & CB135 waxes. I would love to hear more about the EZSoy which I believe is the same as the GB415, if anyone has any info. Thanks again and take care!
  3. Thanks Pixie! How does the EZSoy look after burning? Does the top smooth back out? Is the scent throw as good as I keep hearing? Take care! Andi
  4. Hi there. I recently switched from CB Advanced to CB 135 to improve scent throw, but I noticed after burning the CB 135 candle tops look horrible and the scent throw isn't any better. I've heard that the EZSoy has amazing scent throw. Can anyone who has used both of these waxes tell me about their scent throw experience? Also, after burning the EZSoy, what do the tops look like? Are the smooth or crinkled? Thanks so much and have a great day! Andi :smiley2:
  5. Hi everyone. I started out using EcoSoya CB Advanced and recently switched to CB 135 to improve the Hot Throw. I have not noticed any change in scent throw between the two waxes. I still have to be standing over the candle to smell the scent. I'm using a 3" diameter jar, CB 135, Simple Soy Wicks Size 2 from www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com, 1 & 1/2 oz EO blend added at 175*, and pouring between 115* & 120*. The candles adhered to the jar beautifully, which has always been a problem with the CBA. The tops were horrible looking, but smoothed out with the heat gun. They were a bit oily looling though. I read somewhere that pouring at a higher temp prevents the oils from sitting on the top. Any recommendations for this issue? So my questions are: Can you notice a hot throw difference between CBA & 135, does anyone mix the two to increase hot throw and get smoother tops, if so what ratio, and what temp do you prefer to pour the CB 135? Thanks so much and take care! - Andi
