justajesuschick Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 So, what is everyone's consensus on the success-are most of you using the TCS wax alone or blended with other wax?A generous member just gifted me (tee hee!) some of this miracle wax and while I will test it alone, wondered about blends some are using. HEY, FAITHFUL SCENTER!! You still blending this jazz with 4633??I'll be making melts on Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pita4294 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I've done it alone, and with 4633 and 4627 about 10%. Haven't tried those yet either though. LolI'm just still enjoying my presto pot magic! (I have like 100 made. I have issues!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 More "reports" coming in from my testers; they smell no difference - umph, stupid nose:angry2:. So yesterday I decided to take care of my dry nose, my bleeding nose, my stuffed up nose (I always have to wait until I can no longer stand it before I do something about it, lol). And yeah, this morning I could smell them, perhaps not as strong as what I am used to, but my nose isn't "all better" yet!Right now I have Liquid Crack going (been going since yesterday) and it is strong, definately strong enough to make me pass out - well, close.Though I mixed some batches of TCS pellets with other waxes, the tarts that I and my testers are using are made with 100% TCS.hth :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Thanks!I plan to give it a spin and see how I do.2 things I wish were different. 1-that is was not a single supplier sourced product and 2-that I knew what it really was!

justajesuschick Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 That is too funny!Now get to test melting some of these so that you can share/report your results!I plan to make 2-3 batches. The TCS wax alone and then also mixed with 4633 and perhaps also mixed with maybe 4630. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pita4294 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 HT not as strong with my mixes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 HT not as strong with my mixesMORE detail!!! (PLEASE??)I can go back and look but I do not want to misunderstand.Your previous blends have less HT than the TCS wax? The TCS wax alone has better HT than the TCS wax blended with other waxes?This curious mind NEEDS to know!p.s. I just bagged up a few batches (small) of TC tart wax and same FO's in TCS tart wax/4633 and plan to test against my 4625/4627 also in the same FO's. Results in about a week.

Ravens Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Karen, sounds like TCS wax - on its own, not mixed with another wax - does not throw as well as when you blend it with another wax like, for example, TCS and 4633, or TCS and 4630. Not positive, but that's how I interpret Pita's post. :undecided Yes, more details, please. Edited March 17, 2013 by Ravens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Got it. Thanks.So, if my results follow hers, the TCS tart wax alone could/should have more HT than the second batch I made of TCS tart wax blended 50/50 with 4633.Cannot wait to test!

pita4294 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I only did 10% with the 4627 and 4633 but its seems to have affected the integrity of the TCS wax. My results so far...use it straight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulberrysoap Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Great thread!! Is it possible that the candle source tart wax comes from IGI ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My results so far...use it straight!Thanks Pita....I almost didn't make one straight but decided to last minute. Whew!Hoping it melts in the Scentsy warmer. The 4625 blends are not totally melting and I definitely want a wax that melts in it since so many potential customers are using them these days.

HorseScentS Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I have an idea: Maybe one of us can call IGI and find out which IGI staffer we can send a sample of the TCS tart wax to so they can try to identify it and tell us if it's one of their waxes, and which wax it is.

pita4294 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 We need an "inside man" that could get a job with Loren , packing orders, then we'd know for sure where this wax comes from! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie353 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) TCS has a MP of 130. IGI has a 1230A with the same MP and the only one I could find in a paraffin.ETA: Just found this in China at Alibaba which seems a little closer....maybe.http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/636324534/Paraffin_Wax_58_60_Price.html Edited March 17, 2013 by jeanie353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks for the link, Jeanie. However, the "pellets" I received do not look like those in the picture. The ones I received are flatter and more like irregularly shaped "wafers".HorsescentS, that is a great idea about contacting IGI. I remember when I first tried TCS in slab form, what caught my attention right away was that it looked whiter than other waxes, and when cut, the inside always reminded me of coconut flesh, when you split it - it had that sort of consistency/look.Anyone know if IGI or other major supplier would be willing to tell us exactly what type of wax it is if we sent a sample, and if it is sold by any other name... or if we can get it directly from IGI?I sure do not like the idea that Loren is the only supplier for this wax!

Since we know TCS gets the wax from somewhere else, the only two places I'm aware of that suppliers get their wax from are IGI or China. I could surely be wrong but that's what a certain supplier told me when we called about the their blends about a year ago. Just remembered where I heard it so edited this post again to add it.I'm thinking it's out there but finding it may be a challenge due to it being in slab and wafer/pellet form.ETA: Actually, I posted a pic of them in a bowl. Are your "wafer" type like my "pellet" type Ravens? Edited March 17, 2013 by jeanie353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
