I do the hour perinch thing in real world testing environment, I also burn more than one time aday when time permits. I burn until candle extinguishes it’s self then add upthe hours. I also read that the average burn time is five hours per ounce. So I asked myself how these companies arestating ninety to one hundred hours on a nine ounce candle. I also read about athing called a burn box, it’s where you can control the environment where youtest the candle. You can control the air intake and heat exhaust so that you maximizeburn times. Hence ninety to a hundred hours out of nine ounces.

I sent two packages out by USP one I thought was packaged well and product was damaged. The second one was a replacement for the first one that I know was packaged well, (double boxed with GLASS all over the box) and it looked like USP ran it over with the mail truck. Thank god for insurance! I would point some of the blame at USP.

Yes I had a rep tell me the same thing at an outside city fair. So I asked them both if they would eat one and show me that it's the same. Both told me NO! LMAO!!!!

First off sorry I've been on holiday. I found it at www.generalwax.com by the drum. I was wandering if anyone had used it here?

Hi all,

I did a search for ProWax 710 and found nothing. Has anyone used this wax? If you have please tell me what success or challenges you may have had. Also what other waxes does it compare to.

Thanks!

I made my own, there are plenty of instructions on the web. The big cost factor is the tap if do not have one. I also used longer pipe and high temp silicone from a auto parts store, plumers tape will not work and JB Weld looks like dog crap! Beware of bad materials used if you shop for one. By the way mine has never leaked a drop with the high temp silicone and it looks so nice too, unlike JB. Good luck!

I love the candle tops!!! I think that they make the whole package come together. Great job on the labels too.

Wow!! I thought that it was me with the Eco not having a very good HT. I have tried FO from CS that have a three leaf for soy rating, and still not as strong as I would like. Everything else is GREAT, aesthetic, wick burn, melt pool (full after 3 hrs), pool depth (1/2 inch deep after 3 hrs), burn time per ounce(5 hrs) not 10 like some advertise. It is the HT that has me hung up, I am using a 9% L and it's very very lite in a average size room.

I would like to hear others reviews.

So far that's 3 out of 3 for 464. Where are the Ecosoya fans at?

Golden Brands 464 Soy Wax

OR

Ecosoya CB Advanced Soy Wax

Tell me briefly why you choose one over the other.

Thanks!

I was thinking of picking up one of each to see how I will like them and yes if they were only bigger. That link is very sick! I thought of painting some small Mason jar lids because I do not like the funky design on the cap, now I'll just paint the glass too. And yes I would only paint the outside of the glass to be safe. I know you can find high temp flat black rattle paint at any local auto parts store that might be safer to use IDK. Test, test, test & test again.

Thank you for the link Debbie.

I'm Irish American and I never drank green beer only the thick dark stuff. These make me want a green beer! I always favored pints over mugs, but I have to say I love them both. I wish I had four arms so I could give you four thumbs up.

Slainte! in English Cheers!

Thank you all for the nice comments. I look at these pictures in comparison to what I’m producing now and think to myself “I can’t believe I gave these as gifts”. I feel with every pour I learn something new or a better way to do this. I find this to be so therapeutic for the soul; I wished I would have done this year’s ago.

Too answer your question TLC.

“What size/type of wicks are those? They look pretty fat to me and probably good for twisting”.

I used C-85 X 2 in the 3’’ Libby because my mind set was to use a cotton core wick for a cleaner burn, I don’t know what I was thinking because I was using IGI 4630. I could not achieve a complete burn with only one so I doubled up but then they were a bet over wicked. I now use one HTP 1312 and Ecosoya container blend with a 9% LO and achieve a full pool with a 1/2’’ deep melt. My test candle’s I got 40 hours of burn time at 3 hour burns each time. I was hoping to get more out of it. I don’t know how chandlers are getting 60 and 70 hours out of a 10 oz candle? My wife has one here that she bought says on the warning label 8oz and 90 hours burn??? WT you know what!

Anyways thank you all for the motivating words.

Not too bad...They turned out pretty good for my first time every giving them as gifts. I tested them in these containers so many times! I felt like a mad scientist. My family and friends were very HAPPY! The end result is that they all burned great and smelled great with no one burning down their houses.

MK at Yankee got started this way...LOL

Sometimes I will make extra for tarts or a WTF is it jar. I love those things!

Yankee..Yankee..Yankee. There like Star Bucks, BIG thats all. I've had better coffee and lots of it too. I think that you should not use Yankee as a comparison first off. I'm also sure you have had tons of GREAT candles too. I heard it takes 10,000 hours to master one thing, you just need to find that one candle and master it!

Take it with a grain of salt...Keep on keeping on.

Why can't I find the frickin frackin containers I'm looking for? All I want is BLACK!!! Maybe silver anything other than boring clear glass.

I feel better now...

Thanks!

Sorry, just checked for you they only have them in rusty not black. I think I saved a website that has blk lids on my laptop at home; I will check for you when I get home.

I tested Sweet Pumpkin Spice from Peak on family and friends over Thanksgiving, and all loved... LOVED it.
