simply fragrant

Yes, I have ordered a few from him, they are not complex fragrance oils, but from my experience worked out well. My customers like Sage and Ivy, I have used his Mac Apple for a mixer, did not have success with cotton candy, (have tried several and am still looking). One customer likes his gardenia, but I am not fond of florals, so my opinion wouldn't be objective about that one. I don't know who the manufacture is. One thing that I wish he would do is list if they are body safe, so to be on the safe side I don't use in bb products. Shipping was fast, and CS good. hth

"I really want to try the Sweet Potato everyone is raving about from Aztec! "

It really, really does smell like ooey gooey sweet potato casserole, I need to get into wax!

I would ditto that.

Another ditto here, one of my best sellers.

Do you guys use 6% / 1oz of FO per pound?

For most of my f/o's I do use 6%, on some of the heavier oils (bakery mainly), I do cut back, they burn cleaner for me.

I use the 44-24-18 mainly, and for lighter f/os the 36-24-24, hth!

Have no idea if the LX will work; I use a 44Z for votives made with 4794. Good luck!

The 44z is my go to wick with this wax too, depending on f/o, I may have to go one size smaller.

That's probably to allow you time to pack-up your valuables and keepsakes and load the RV up with your kids, pets and spouse!

Would this turn into a fireball?

Simply fragrant she is an enabler!!lol I have indeed purchased from candle cocoon and I am loving her scents, she was one of the first. :-) seriously I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on oils in the past month.it is an addiction, I have no business knowing about connie, but I must try her oils also!

I have to admit, CW lead me astray too towards Candle Cocoon! And she does have some lovely oils.

Do I need to go to one of the meetings for family members who enable addicts?

Well, save a seat for the rest of us, lol!

Have you tried Candle Cocoon yet?

Enabler!

Yes, I have ordered wicks, soap molds and a few other things from them. Their customer service is top notch, emails were answered promptly, shipping is quick and reasonable, and Ann is very nice. I need to revist them and try their f/os, the pricing is good.

I get that this is a symposium of sorts but can you explain what a monthly "quarter auction" is? I have not heard of that.

I am curious too.

Yes, CDs are a nice wick. I have tried zincs in a variety of paraffin blends, with different fragrance loads, but they always seem to mushroom so quickly, but have been told that is the nature of that wick, I kept thinking I had too much fo! Let us know if the 10 works, I happen to have those two waxes , but never thought about blending the two until you mentioned it!!

I have read that many use an htp wick in 4627, which is supposed to handle the higher fragrance loads. Wonder if it would work in a 50 50 blend with the 10% load? Did the melt pool ever catch up to the side of the jars with the cd's? Would a 10 be too big?

Maybe we will get lucky and Blacktie Affair will chime in.

I know that they use (or use to) 4794 for everything, including container candles.

I did try, once upon a time, to use 4794 in containers with no blending.

It did pull away from the jars, which helped with the look, not much of a rattle noise.

The problem I had was finding a wick for it.

I absolutely loathe zinc wicks. They do work, but i just don't care for them....

I went ahead and poured some jelly jars tonight with the 4794+4630 & the 4794+4627.

I kept them at a 60/40 and 6% FO load for the moment.

I know how the 4630 & 4627 burns straight, so it will be interesting to see how they turn out.

Shame I have to wait a week to test....

I miss BTA too, and she did use alot of 4794. That was what I wondered about, it the wax would rattle in the jar, good to hear that it wasn't bad, but with a blend it probably won't even be an issue....oooh a week is SO long to wait!! Will look forward to your results.

Hi OC, I found this link regarding using 4794 for containers, and it also says a much higher f/o load is possible. if you do test this mixture, I would love to hear your thoughts!

Since 4794 is formulated for votive candles, would it adher to the container? Also, the recommendations for f/o are 3-6% (info from Peak). Perhaps the 4627 would overcome those problems though... I have combined 4794 and 4627 for melts with good success.

At our local Wally there were no Febreze melts (yet), but there were a ton of new Febreze Candles, 8 oz for 7.97 (wood wick) and a larger double wick that I could not find the price on. You are right, super cheap cannot last forever!
