lol, I was actually looking at their youtube videos the other day and saw it kept cutting from that one man's office to the Chinese factory talking about the hand crafted bull they spew. Also, Stella I normally test in an area around 500 square feet. I guess it could just be getting lost? I also get tired of scents quickly, so after 2-3 hours I get bored, then throw something else in, I use it once or twice more then it doesn't throw well enough for me, like I said it might just be that it is getting lost, maybe I'll confine it to the bedroom (around 200 sf). We will see, I'm doing a bitter end test right now. I'm also wick testing/power burning 3 new fall scents in the bathroom and pouring candles in the candle room.

I am pretty sure mine lasts longer then 4-6 hours too but I don't really want to advertise that. I think they arrive at that number by claiming each cube lasts around 10 hours. This would mean one, that there is almost 1/2 ounce of fragrance oil in each of their tart bars and that two, that each cube has 1.85 grams of oil in it. Maybe tomorrow and Tuesday I will actually time test one of my cubes until the bitter end and then do 1.85 grams in around 7 grams of straight 4630 and see how long each goes. I'll use them in the low temp warmer and hopefully it will simulate the "scentsy" product well enough. I guess I could claim mine goes 80 hours if each of my cubes are slightly detectable after 13 hours right? lol I wonder how they do test them though because I go until I don't think it is strong enough which might be the problem, they may be going until there is no scent left at all. We shall see! Thanks all for the replies though you've all been incredibly helpful.

I'm not sure it would be worth it either, but I am thinking of longevity, my one ounce tarts last around 4-6 hours, and the tart bars end up lasting around 18-24 hours. Not bad for $3.50 but when the "others" are claiming they last 80 hours+ I think I need to find a local scentsy person and get a few of them to test side by side, I kinda don't want to give them my money though. I guess its all in the name of a better product.

Wow! Care to share, or give some tips? I'd love to test something like that up against my regular 9% I've been using 60% Ecosoya PB 15% 464 and 25% 4630. Ah-soy lol, that is true I guess. I have stopped shipping this summer, my regular candles have a melt point of 110 and without an ice pack they just never make it anywhere without at least slumping. Thanks!

First I want to say Hello, I've been a regular reader on these forums, but have never posted. The wealth of information here is amazing, and I feel this forum has allowed me to better my product, and the tips and tricks I've learned are priceless (silicone caulk instead of hot glue for one) but anyway... I have always had a bad taste in my mouth when it came to Scentsy, but I was searching for their melt point to make sure my tarts would work in a Scentsy warmer when I came across a FAQ on their website. It states that the Scentsy wax melts at 125 which sounds about right, warm enough not to melt in a box truck while shipping. Well, I scroll down and see that they claim they use a 15-18% fragrance load. From what I have seen the highest fragrance load I have seen any wax rated for is 12% and the list is short. Is there a wax out there or an additive that would let a wax hold 18%? Thanks!
