Peggy T Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I need 464 wax and the Flaming Candle is out of stock. However, they do have C3 wax. How do these compare? I usually blend 464 with 10% coco83. UGH. Not a good time of year for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahmarah Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 It needs a hot wick and it’s just as temperamental but I like the throw. It’s prone to hidden sinkholes and champagne like bubbles—tempering helps with that. You may need to experiment with pour temps. Worth a try but not as easy as 464 imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 464 is definitely easier to pour, but C-3 has the better throw and is generally a little cheaper. C3 needs a larger wick so you'd have to retest. For what it's worth, CS and Aztec both have 464 in stock ATM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to call and ask when it will be back in stock. I really don't want to test another wax right now. Maybe for the future but that's something I don't want to rush especially if it's finicky.

birdcharm Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I made a switch last year from GW464 to C3 and enjoy the 6% fragrance oil load, but I found that it does require different wicks & needs a little more pampering, although I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErronB Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I can actually get a HT from C3 these days, 464 not so much. I don't know why but the last 2 lots I've had have NO HT at all. C3 has a higher melting point so it's tougher to wick but it's good for shipping in hot weather unlike 464. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy T Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 TFC has the 464 back in stock so I'll stick with that for now but maybe experiment with C3 with the intent of switching over once I get the hang of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
