  1. I used Ecosoya CB 135 for my melts and after 2 day's they were SUPER strong and threw awesome. I currently switched to a different brand of wax and it takes a week minimum to cure...not use to that lol
  2. You are right on that. When I use to order from WSP it would take over a week just to get my order shipped and then I had to wait for it to arrive.
  3. I never had any luck with my night light warmers from levine gifts. My wax has a melting point of 122 and only a nickel size amount of the wax would melt in those things. I am sure it was a 15 watt bulb. I only put 1/2 oz wax in the melter but it still didn't get a fmp. I ended up throwing mine out. I know alot of people love those things, just didn't work for me.
  4. I am prolly the only person going to say this but I LOVE YOUR BLUE WALL....that color just pops out and I like it Nice video too lol, thanks for sharing!
  5. I have to say, excellent customer service with Just Scent. I just ordered my stuff yesterday and it already shipped today...and anytime I have emailed with questions I get a immediate response!!!!
  6. I am going to mix these 2 FO's from Just Scent when I get them and see what I get! Jolly Rancher Green Apple: Bold scent of crisp, fresh green apples. Country Sweet Muffin: Rich sweet butterscotch and wonderful spices are blended with bakery tones to create this sweet treat. Cinnamon is added to balance the rich buttery tones mingled with maple sugar and bakery notes, add creamy vanilla bean to complete this wonderful scent. If I like it anyone have any names they would suggest based off the scent descriptions?
  7. I am glad the one I ordered Blonde Moment was good and strong lol. I will write the rest of those down and make sure not to order any of the other ones. Number2of7, seeing that you didn't get that great of reviews on her BB line, have you tried her other oil's not on the BB line to compare? I am wondering if her BB line just isn't that great of oils? Flip Flop: 4.5 (I really liked it, reminded me of summer for sure and had a tropical smell, but not so overpowerful that I couldn't stand it like some tropical smell's I have noticed)
  8. I just ordered all these BB bottles from Just Scent. Blonde Moment Buttercream Crunch Caramel Vanilla Country Sweet Muffin Hazelnut Coffee Jolly Rancher Green Apple (was thinking about mixing this one with Country Sweet Muffin) Morning Buzz White Cranberry Wipe Out Sand in Shorts
  9. Are you talking about Apples & Maple Bourbon with the "odd" note that you like? I will definitely order the sample for sure...just wondering if it throws awesome in soy (sometimes the rating on candlescience isn't always correct with my throw in wax, I have had some of the 1 or 2 star's throw awesome in my soy) I want a baked crust with spices and a touch of apple if that makes sense? I don't want the apple to overpower the scent like most do.
  10. I love CS FO's!! The only FO that would come close to a apple crisp/apple pie is the Apples & Maple Bourbon and I am not sure I am wanting a maple note. Next time I order some of my usual FO's from them I will have to try it for my free sample though...wish they would get a Apple Cobbler or Apple Crisp!!
  11. And I thought WSP was expensive...Elements Apple Cobbler Delight is $22.99 not including shipping and Wholesalesuppliesplus is $21.59 with shipping. Not that I have tried either FO's but I have never ever had a bad FO from WSP but I quit ordering from her along time ago because her prices are just TOO HIGH. I may try Peaks FO at $17.58 a pound, looks like it has great reviews and I am really having a hard time getting a good strong throw with apple scents in my soy wax. (I have tried Ecosoya and Enchanted Lights)
  12. Has anyone tried her BB Apple Crisp? Spiced Apple Pecan: Testing it now and it is prolly a 2 for me. Not too strong and I don't smell any spicy pecan in it. More like a funky apple smell...this may be why she discontinued this FO. I have had a heck of a problem getting anything apple/cinnamon to throw in Ecosoya wax and enchanted lights wax. I am wanting a delicous apple pie type scent and was hoping this Spiced Apple Pecan would be it but didn't notice she discontinued it until after I ordered it lol and it isn't strong enough for me either. Thanks so much!
  13. The Crisp, Clean, Linen Sheets has been moved to the BB and name changed to Cotton Sheets.
  14. Where do you get your bulbs LOL I wish I could get years out of mine Scentsy is the worst with bulbs for me..they go out alot. And my candlewarmer.com melter went out after 1 month.
  15. ~Eucalyptus Spearmint: On a rating of 1 out of 5 with 5 being the best and super strong I would give this a 4. I think I will try CS scent and see if it is a bit stronger and better HT. ~Toasted Marshmallow: Rate a 3. I was trying to replace this with a Toasted Marshmallow I have been purchasing for 2 years but it is very expensive but this scent from JS just didn't cut it. ~Vanilla Buttercream Crunch: Rate a 5. Absolutely love this scent. I am going to see if Buttercream Crunch in the Bodaciuos Buys is very similar and just carry that instead...save $6.95 a pound. ~Gain Type: One of my 1 oz wax melts lasted 4 day's or 60 hours and I finally just put it out and switched the scent so this one would definitely be a 5. Very nice, clean smell that filled my huge vaulted ceiling living room very well! ~Snuggle Wild Orchard Vanilla Type: I would rate this a 4. It is a nice scent but does have a bit of a perfumey smell for me. It lasted about 2 days or 30 hours in my warmer. I was impressed with her FO's though and will defintely order from her again. Will try a bunch of her BB pound jars and see if I can at least find a handful of scents to keep all year long.
  16. I made some melts during the Holiday's in the Pine Cones FO and I personally really liked it! I also mixed the pine cones with a sugar cookie FO I had and called it Frosted Pinecones and REALLY liked that
  17. Before I made candles I would have never looked at a candle that had frost and not bought it because of that. It would have never crossed my mind...I was more concerned if the candle was strong enough to fill up my house and if so I would buy it again! Now that I know what frosting is, I have looked at the big candle companies and guess what I found on some of their candles...frosting!! I think we as candle makers sometimes try to be too perfect and are too hard on our candles LOL...just my opinion though. btw, I use EL wax with no dye and get some frost but it doesn't bother me and never had a customer complain about it in the past.
  18. Starting 2012 Ya**** had a price increase. Large jar is now $27.99 (not including tax)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. My Love Spell from Enchanted Lights is SO strong that I can't handle it and I have the lotion/body spray's and it smells exactly like VS Love Spell too. I may like your Love Spell better Leenabug lol.
  20. I have always had awesome CT and HT from NG oils and recently I ordered Bedtime Bath, Jamaica Me Crazy and Indian Summer and was NOT happy with the CT or HT after a 7 day cure time in my wax melts using Enchanted Lights wax, no dye, 8% FO. I pulled the melts out after about 17 day's cure and OH MY GOSH were they intense and strong!!!!! Just to test my theory that certain FO's need a lot longer to cure, I made the same scented melts in Ecosoya and C3 and got the same results....not much CT or HT until 2 weeks or more lol. So put the melts away and pull them out in 2 weeks...you may be pleasantly surprised!!!
  21. I have always left my warmers on 24-7 and the only thing that has happened to me is the bulb will go out lol. I would put a candle plate or something underneath the electric warmer because I have noticed even with only leaving on for a few hours, sometimes they can get hot and make the counter top, shelf, etc a little warm. I have about 4 different brand melters (Scentsy, BH&G, Levine Gifts, Candlewarmers.com) and have not had any problems with leaving them on all night yet. Now, going thru bulbs is another story lol.
  22. Tested Vanilla Buttercream Crunch after a 4 day cure using 8% FO and I got 14 hours out of it the first day. The next day when I turned the electric melter on I get a very faint smell out of it, nothing like the 1st day. I usually get 2-3 day's hot throw out of my melts so I will try and cure this melt a bit longer to see if it gets better, if not I don't think I will be carrying it with only about 14 hour throw....I have given it to 3 tester's so am anxious to see what they think.
  23. I have never used clamshells before and am starting to wonder if I will LOVE them too How much oz of wax does the #1524 from eclamshell.com hold?
  24. Made some melts out of each FO and I was impressed with how strong the oil's smelled when stirring with the wax, very strong. Will let the melts cure for 1 week and then see how they do. Question for anyone who can help me: I noticed Just Scent only carried 1 lb bottles. Do they give a price break for more than 1 lb bottles?
  25. Hi Mzphee....I am in Illinois too and my husband's family are all from East Peoria!
