Oh Im interested in this as well, I need to do a little research on Vybar..

Yea, I am deff. going with the 4630. After doing my research and weighing my options. I decided that scent throw was going to be my main agenda closely followed by smoking and sooting.

The top of my jars are 2 5/8. Maybe ill get the HTP sample pack to try first. Her candles have no hang up and have about 1/4'' mp after about 3-4 hrs of burning. The scent throw is just amazing. I sure wish I had a number for her.. Not that she would be obliged to share, but its great. What % fo do you use if you don't mind me asking.

I am going with the 4630, I would love to try 4627 but think that is a bit much considering all the trouble with wicking I have been reading about. I think the 8oz jelly jars with no dye and 1oz. per lb of wax should be a good starting point I would assume. I am aiming to perfect the highest scented candle I can. There is a lady I have gotten my candles from for sevral years that is out of state that I visit on vacation, I would soooo love to know her secrets lol. They have the perfect MP and an amazing CT and HT at every burn. I guess starting out with the sample pack of Cotton wicks will help me get there.

The only problem with going with a kit is, Im not going to use the dyes and it won't help me as far figuring out what wick I am going to need with the 8oz jelly jars I plan to use.Thats why I was going to get the sample pack of wicks.

Yea, that why I put the "Natural". I personally think people would rather have an awesome scent throw. Then again its all about how you market your product.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I am going to get a sample pack of the cotton for a starting point. Then ill go from there. I understand there is alot of trial and error in my future. Thanks again.

I am very new to this, So new that I haven't actually made any candles yet..:rolleyes2 I am stuck to say the least! The choices of wick and wax combinations are endless. I don't even know where to start. I would like to make these in hopes of one day selling them so I deff. want to do as much testing as possible, but I have to know where to start. I know that I am going to use 8oz. jelly jars no dyes and peaks fo with 6% or 1oz. per lb. to start off with. I was going to use a soy blend wax at first considering GW464, but then decided that I would forego the "natural" cleaner burning wax for a greater scent throw. I have since been stuck on IGI 4630 or IGI 4627 with a C-60 to 65 wick (wick was reccomended by the lady that I spoke on the phone with at peak). I know there are alot of very succesful chandlers here, I hope someone can atleast let me know what to order to get started. Thanks in advance Kala Any other advice would also be greatly appreciated
