I wasnt too worried about it. It was only an ounce. I was just wondering if this is something that happens from time to time and if I need to start checking?

Just talked to their CSR and she was very nice and is sending me a 1 oz bottle today.

I just an old candle jar about 3 inches tall and roughly 1.75 inches in diameter. Just pour hot water in it when Im done and wipe it out.

I weighed it. It came out to be 3.1 oz

Has anybody ever had this happen? I ordered a 4 oz bottle of Blueberry Cheesecake from Candle Science and I only got 3 oz from it. Might give them a call in a lil bit to see if they can fix it.

It really is. Feeling pretty lucky and very thankful, especially for all the info I have found here.

I will later on when I can actually afford to do more tests. Right now I have less than $200 to work with and everybody is asking for candles.

Well its weird cause now Im hearing from other people how they loved the scents, the same one someone else said was very faint. They was both from the same batch. I just use the guide as a starting point then adjust if I need to. Im going to put off the 4786 for a lil while and stick with the 4630 wax. Another problem though is I went back to the 4630 wax with the same FO and wicks and Im now experiencing the flame is getting very small after about 15 - 20 minutes of burning. The only thing different is on these Warm Apple Pies is I added a half a black dye chip to darken the red. Any thoughts?

Im curious to see what it looks like. Could you post a pic?

I think what Im going to do is stay with the 4630 for right now and later on start testing more with the 4786. I think I have about 5 lbs left of the 4786 though.

Just a question about wicking. I have already made some candles with 4630 wax and 44-24-18 Zinc Core in the Dodecagon jars and it seemed to be ok. Everybody loves them. I have any complaints but I havent really tested anything else. Anybody else use this wax in these jars? What wick have you found that work? Also, I recently made some candles with 4786 wax with the same wick in the same jars and it wasnt too successful with the HT (I also mentioned this in another thread). I went ahead and ordered wicks from CS as per their wick guide. They recommended the LX 18's. I just got the shipment in earlier today but havent had a chance to pour any yet. Just curious what wick you all have success with using this wax and jars. Thanks again. This forum is such a great place. Ive been reading on here for about a month or so but just recently started posting. Thanks again!

Sorry, The last part of my last post was in reference to the HT with no additives in the wax. I do believe now after some troubleshooting that the wick may be to much for the candle and burning up the fragrance oil. I dug the wax out and put it in a glass bowl and put it on a candle warmer and the HT was great. So I assume it was the wicks. I ordered some LX 18's. So Im going to see if the HT is better with these. I had 44-24-18 Zinc Core which seemed good for the 4630 wax but not so much for the 4786. So Coconut oil will help give the FO a lil extra kick?

I will try the vybar. Maybe the coconut oil too cause Im curious about that. I just dont understand the strong (meaning sniff it and pull away from your nose like whoa) smell but when burned, no excitement. None!?!?!

Im wondering if it has something to do with the 4786 wax. The Wild Cherry and Warm Apple Pie fragrances are the only 2 that I made with the 4630 wax, the rest have been with the 4786. Im going to make a Warm Apple Pie with the 4786 later to see if there is a difference. Thaaat brings up another question. lol Does everybody test fragrance in a full candle? Just wondering if I could test the fragrance with out having to pour a full candle?

A lot of good info here that I couldnt find elsewhere. Thanks! So my last pour was about three days ago and I let them sit in the warm oven right after heating the jars and let sit for 2 days. So far no wet spots (Im guessing thats wht these are called). Also there seems to be a problem with the scent throw when its burning. I didnt know if it was just me at first, thinking I was just getting immune to the smells or what. But a friend of mine burned the same candle and said she said it didnt fill the room like the other 2 she bought from me which was Wild Cherry and Warm Apple Pie in the 4630A wax all from Peak. So far I have been using 1 oz per lb or actually its been 2 oz FO per 30 oz of wax which makes 4 candles with some left over for re-pours. Any thoughts??
