Tahlula B. Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I would like to hear what folks think of the Wick Your Wax or Wax Your Wick, whatever it is, that Bittercreek sells. They are pretty high priced but the descriptions sound unique. Is it worth a shot? How much do you use for your candles? I am only interested in hearing about candles as I don't do anything else. Pillars especially. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 In my opinion Tahlula, it is some of the best available...or let me just say it is the best of the oils I have tried from many suppliers. I have tried approx. 20 of their oils, and I have yet to be disappointed. ( The Tibetan Black Tea was the only one that I wanted a stronger throw from.) I do use them at 6% even though MANY people use much less, and I am probably wasting oil at that %.I have not ordered from BCN, and have only purchased from Canada, however I feel that Doneen is a scrupulous person and would not alter the oils she receives. They are shipping in Plastic and the lady from Canada ships in glass (which I prefer because I do not use my oils as quickly as those who have candle businesses here)If in doubt, order samples. You won't be disappointed. But I will tell you that it WILL ruin you ever really loving cheap oil again. It is kinda like good chocolate. Once you have had Jean Philippe, Hershey's just doesn't cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I use Bamboo, Vanilla Grapefruit & Buttercream Crunch & don't use more than .5 oz. pp. They are great oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahlula B. Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thanks, everyone. I seriously hate wasting time testing new stuff only to find that it is crap - I already have a thing for good chocolate AND good oils. Angela, with others do you normally use an ounce?

AngelaVA Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I also use these oils and LOVE them. Vanilla grapefruit is my alltime fav FO. I use the recommended amount - 3% and find that I get a super throw. The cost is really about the same as other FOs, if you are using that amount. I think they would be worth using even if you did use 6%. They are superior Fos. They are unique and throw extremely well for me. I would definitely get a sampler pack from BCN and try them out.

Meridith Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 How do they do in soy and can you cut back with them in soy too? I know that BCN states which do well in soy but I'd like to hear of some personal experiences from those that you soy and have used any of these oils in it. TIA!

tangerine Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I use Bamboo at 4% in soy and it throws well. I tried the Biscotti at 4% but I wasn't thrilled with the throw. Didn't want to experiment with a higher percentage for this FO because it'd add to the cost of the candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Angela, with others do you normally use an ounce?Yes, the majority of the other oils I use are at 1 oz. So if you are able to use WYW oils at .5, you are spending about the same as you would for other oils. If there were oils from WYW that I'd have to use more than .5, then I wouldn't use it.

Tahlula B. Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Great! Thank you so much! I am now off to order some samples... actually, I have ordered samples from two other places this morning. Sheeeeesh. I normally won't do this. I have a pretty set amt of oil I pour but some of this is too tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
