Georgia Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I have had people confuse me with Scentsy but never ask if my melts work in their melters. I test in electric, tealight and light bulb warmers so I figured I better get a Scentsy warmer, too. I got a cheap one off ebay and put my melts in. Low and behold, it only melted a little in the center! Today at a craft show I had TWO different people ask if my melts work in a Scentsy warmer. I had to tell them no. I may have lost 2 sales today, but I didn't have permanently disappointed customers.I will be working on my formula and hopefully can get melts I like that actually work in their warmer.

justajesuschick Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Mine melt perfectly in their warmers. I now have 5 of them. Recently, they offered a few of the $30 warmers for $7.50. I added 2. It was during an "October Madness" sale. I was going to post about the sale here in case others wanted Scentsy warmers for test. There is much disdain here about Scentsy so I did not.Let me know if you want to know about wax blends that melt in their warmers. In fact, I have not yet had a wax blend that would not melt in them. I would never buy their (or any makers) warmers with a square dish. All wax gets hung up in the corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I wonder if the warmer you got from e-bay was defective? Did you melt a scentsy in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 My melts melt in a scentsy warmer and I use straight EcoSoya PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 no, it's not defective. It is only a 25 W bulb... I'm not fond of the square corners, either. I use a blend, but it is more paraffin than soy and I think I just need to play with the percentages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 That's good that you know that information. I would do everything I could to make a formula that would though. I assume that more than 50% of people who use wax melts, use a Scentsy warmer. I could be wrong. My most asked question is if mine will melt in a Scentsy warmer. I wouldn't have made any money at holiday bazaar I was at yesterday if they didn't I had them tested in one before I started selling.The candlewarmer ones that I use for my testing are also 25 W.If yours is more paraffin, it seems that it would melt in one. Aren't theirs made with paraffin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are 25w as you suggest. That's good that you know that information. I would do everything I could to make a formula that would though.

Aren't theirs made with paraffin?In my area NO ONE uses tealight warmers and easily 60%-80% of people use Scentsy warmers. The remainder are BH&G/Scentsationals from Walmart and a very few say that theirs was a gift or they do not know the brand. You are right. Scentsy wax is paraffin. Their site has VERY significantly reduced their FAQ's. They used to say the melt point of their wax. I swore it said 124. Some have said that 4786 is their wax but I am not certain. It is that very melt point and is paraffin, of course, so it could be. I wish my used wax came out of my dishes as easily as theirs did when I used it. I am getting close, though!I have been in contact with their HQ over the "only Scentsy wax can be melted in Scentsy warmers" issue. My next communication with them is their legal department. More on that once I gain enough information to have something of value to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doglvr Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks for sharing. I am soon to be the proud owner of just about the butt ugliest Scentsy burner on the market I found on Ebay (cheapest one I could find) so I'm crossing my fingers what I've decided on will work!

doglvr Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Well, I got my ugly Scentsy warmer and stuck it behind a picture frame I'm glad to say that my blend does melt pretty quick, but that little 25 watt bulb sure isn't putting out much of a throw with what is normally a strong tart on my hotplate melters.Bummed.
