FaithfulScenter Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 As you all know, I've been pouring, and testing, and testing, and pouring. I've noticed in my Illumination warmer, nothing last as long as I would like. I was wondering if it was just the warmer, so I pulled out some of my old formula's, they only lasted 1-2 hours! So I think that 8-12 with the new wax is FANTASTIC!!! I also got Sugar Cookie (MW) and Daystars Blackberry Jam Butter Cookie (I'm renaming Blackberry Flapjacks) to go for almost 18 in a regular bulb warmer. I'm working on pouring some other scents now, Amish Quilt & Warm Vanilla Nutmeg from AH/RE, Fall Festival from MW, NG's Apple Mango, and my Sunshine, we'll see how these do. I don't currently carry any Candle Warmers melters, with these results I probably won't. Just thought I'd update on my testing progress!!

justajesuschick Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Made this decision myself this weekend. While I like the instant scent that I get in my CandleWarmers brand plate/dish/combo warmer, some of my tried and true melts that I also get 12-24 hours in a bulb warmer give me just a few hours in the those. I noticed that one of them is getting particularly hot. The wax in it smells completely absent of scent and almost like over-hot or burned wax in no time.I am getting another bulb warmer and plan to pack up these candle/plate/combo warmers. I hesitate to give to friends who I give my melts because of the poor performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se2653 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I've been testing with plug in/nightlight style warmers that have a 15 watt bulb, and I'm getting some fo's lasting several days with this type of warmer. It only holds about 1.5 oz of wax, but I do like the longevity I'm getting with some of the fragrances. That's interesting that the hotter warmers aren't lasting as long- there are so many factors to consider, aren't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithfulScenter Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Right now I'm testing a blend if 75% tcs tart wax and 25% 4633. Its the first blend I've tried in a while that made it to my stage 2 of testing: adding Color! I'm not sure what the best temp would be, I have 3 bulb Warmer's, one is a 40 watt bulb, one is 25, and the other is 15 watts. I also have a plate style warmer. It doesn't seem to burn out the scent as fast as the Illumination warmer. Its got a halogen bulb in it and the scent burns out in no time. So many differeent factors they will all make you head spin!! Edited February 20, 2013 by FaithfulScenter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
