I made Vanilla Champagne melts yesterday and it is blazing through the house. I don't have a huge house but it isn't tiny. 1700 square feet and the kitchen is not close to my bedroom. I can smell it everywhere. I turned it on at around 12 Noon today and then fell asleep with it on. Woke up unexpectedly at 11PM and was confused at the lovely smell I was breathing in lol then realized I left my burner on. I just turned it off about 30 minutes ago. It is 12:40AM here. So 12 hours straight blazing scent and it still has a lot of life to go. And this was only part 4627. I'm excited to use just 4627 and see that it will last a very long time. Have to order more tins but my experiment worked fantastic. One lady asked me the other day if my melts lasted 5 hours at the most likely Walmart. I said no lol mine last for 2 days most of the time and longer sometimes. I had some that lasted 3 weeks. Yeah I had to stop doing that. There's no profit in that. I want to have long lasting products but if nobody needs to buy anything then there is no money. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are they the molded melts or are they in the tins? I will tell you my mix up. I added a carrier oil,instead of fragrance oil to the 4627 and it was hard. It came out of my silicone mold but not the metal molds. It wouldnt hold up in summer selling or shipping heat. Im still amazed at how hard it got from a bit of carrier oil. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also made just 4627 in the tins and it is lasting even longer. That's great the carrier oil worked. I'm loving experiments. Lol never thought I would. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing except the lid goes into the wax burner. Then you can save for another day and just throw the whole thing away when the scent goes away. I'm excited as I think this will take off or at least I hope so lol Now for the summer shipping I will have to harden it but people are still lazy. So no fuss, no muss still should work. lol Edited October 2, 2018 by ShelleyF Added info 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site that i seen the drops on actually used the entire portion cup in the warmer,but it seemed to be a different type of warmer and it actually fit the cup. I know if i put my cups in a warmer i would have a huge mess. I ordered a few different things, some different cups, jars and molds. I guess imma get my experiment on starting tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you know I'm going to test it today lol If it works great in this cup then this will be great. It worked in the pie tins but this is taller so it seems better. I will make all 4627 during the cooler months and local. But for shipping I will have to harden it up. But it will be the best melts if it works. This experimenting is tiring lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for my cups lol I'm impatient. So tomorrow I will make something. I get up very early in the morning. Sometimes 1:30AM sometimes 3;30AM lol Edited October 3, 2018 by ShelleyF Added info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My new ones arrived today which are a bit thicker but I'm still unsure. No, just make sure you pack them well. I send my 4637 candles out I typically send mon-we'd unless they are closer and have not had a problem. As long as they are upright and packaged tight you should be fine. You are getting up when I'm getting ready to lay down lolol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have received boxes upside down with oils in them but everything was ok. I'm glad to know I can ship 4627 in the summer. So I can just start using it alone then? I'm getting rid of the clamshell boxes. I hate them as they take longer to pour and people are seeming to want the cups more anyway.

They looked perfect and we're soy. I don't know which soy but definitely not 464. They were firmer than that. lol my husband has an early work schedule. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and come on here. I feel good waking up early. I seem to get more done but it is the same thing really. Just different hours.

If I put that container on my electric warmer it would shrivel on down along with the wax I'm pretty sure l o l I wouldn't mix anything with it,if your sole purpose is to place the entire cup on the warmer then dispose. As long as the lids are secured and packaged tight it shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentedPleasurez Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I checked out the cups on the site u posted above . They have multiple colors and look nice. I really like the black ones the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some still get the clamshells however they get them from Wal-Mart etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 scent shot cups are cheaper, more profitable per unit and easier for sure. Though the actual $ profit on a single cup is pretty small compared to a clam. When selling at markets, [portion cups are much more difficult to merchandise and keep looking nice. Clamshells that hang solved the huge mess for me. This all puts me in a strange grey area - I dislike single use plastic packaging but need it to protect my wares at public venues, and maximize the profit per transaction to keep the business healthy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
