Common Scents Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 JS is Just Scent www.justscent.comI use both them AND Peaks and it really just depends on the FO. There are some things that I get ONLY from JS because they have the best of that FO in my opinion. And there are somethings that I get from Peaks because they are the best. They both have reasonable prices and great customer service. I would suggest ordering a sample pack from them to see what you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I mainly use Peak and JS only. The majority of my oils come from JS because I like the complexity of them, and Becky is just awesome to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the throw just as strong as Peaks? Is the cure time shorter? I normally wait 7 days before I burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common Scents Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I generally use a 1/2 oz of FO per lb with both...sometimes its a full oz. Of the ones that I use from JS the throw is amazing! And I usually cure for 7 days too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelleRie Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hard questions! They both ship the same day, but JS has great sales and a huge variety. I do have to use more PP with JS most of the time. With Peaks, I can always use less FO per pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 JS is one of the 3 main suppliers I use. Her oils are awesome, but just like with any supplier, some of her oils don't throw well in my particular wax. But, don't hesitate to try JS. You won't be disappointed.

Does that make sense?These are my two main suppliers and I only use 1 oz pp with both of their FOs. The only oil from Peak that I can use .5 oz pp is with Lavender. Try doing a search on here and you'll find tons of info about JS. I have tried over half of her oils and have yet to find one that doesn't throw well at 1 oz pp. Some I just didn't personally like, but they all work well. You really can't go wrong. Try a sampler pack and see what you think. I don't think you'll be disappointed.Also, she has great sales and you can ship either UPS or USPS. Her orders go out quickly and you get free samples. Not muhc to complain about with JS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what type of wax you use, but I don't cure. I usually test burn around 24hrs after pouring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraInNY Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Like Trish said, cure time depends on what kind of wax you use. Most paraffins, you don't have to cure. With soy (which I don't use so this is heresay) I've read you need to cure about a week give or take a couple of days. I use J50 (paraffin) and don't cure.With JS FO's I only use 1 oz pp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
