mystic sowles Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Fogive me if this topic has been discussed already. I tried searching for past posts on it but didn't see what I was looking for. There are so many different types of Burners, Warmers, etc on the markets today. Does it matter what you use to heat your tarts in? I still use the older style hot plate with a ceramic or glass bowl to melt the tarts in as well as burn my container candles on. I have posted before that I have a vanilla in a 4 oz pyrex type bowl that I have over 40 hrs of melt time. It still smells fabulous and I still have many more hours of melting before it's done. How I managed to make this I don't know. I have not been able to do another one since. Anyway, I would love to hear back from you on this question. In case I have any customers ask, I want to be educated on the topic. I have googled the topic and as with any product every company has it's bragging rights, so I thought I would ask here and get real feedback from real users.

Guest OldGlory Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Yes, there are numerous threads on this same subject. Of course it matters what melter/warmer you use - they heat at different rates, and so will burn off fragrances slower or faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) I am not certain what you mean by TS. I assume you are asking about hot throw and longevity. I agree with OG. Part of your testing, before establishing your wax blends and selling, is testing your wax blend in a various warmers. Light bulb and plate style warmers are most used so I tested extensively with those. I now need to get a Glade warmer and test my wax in that as so many are now using those. I did a survey in my wax group and it was split between bulb and plate warmers. Some voted that they used both. In selecting my final wax blend I made certain that my wax performed equally well in both types of warmers. ETA: I added an FAQ doc to my group page. I am always asked what type of wax I use, if it needs cure time and what warmer I would recommend. You are correct in that people will ask and you will need to have evidence/testing to aid with your answers.

megandgarr Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 In addition to the type of warmer, air flow in the space they are being melted in makes a difference (AC versus no AC, ceiling fans, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These same variables will effect the perceived hot and cold throw from a candle. Lots to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
