jaylynne Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The scent burns off the wax remains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yup. That's what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yep. I just tell my customers that when they can't smell it anymore, it's time for a new one. There isn't any fire to consume the wax, so it just stays there while the scent burns off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiftycupsofcoffee Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Maybe this is a silly question but after the sent is all gone can you reuse the wax with a new sent or is the wax tainted?Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yippee!! I was worried that I did something wrong. I'll call her and let her know. She said people want to order some from her burning it at work. Since I just got my warmers from Ashlie's co-op I'll test a few and be on my way!!Thanks all!MizB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekrunner Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I made a wickless tin and gave to a tester. She burned/melted it for 5 days a week 5-6 hours/day for a little over a month.Whoa! I'd say it did a great job! That's over 100 hours of scent release for an eight oz tin. I think that the wax can't hold anymore FO even though the scent is gone, the carrier oil the scent is in remains also. It is good for firestarters.geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wax can only hold a certain amount of oil. When you are burning the candle on a warmer, you are burning off the fragrance, but not the oil that's in the wax. So when the scent is completely gone, the oil is still there in the wax and you can't add more. So, you need to make new wickless candles with fresh wax.

alhughes Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 i have a question. i've been testing a 6oz wickless turret jar. it smells great cold, it smells great when i light a wick in it (i made 2 candles w/wicks & 1 w/o wick from same batch) but the one you put on warmer you can't smell it unless you get your nose over it. what could be the problem any suggestions?

LindaColo Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Scents sometimes are different on a warmer than when they are burned. I like wild cherry as a candle, but wickless it was lackluster. Also, sometimes I get candlenose. I can't smell vanilla after awhile, but if I leave the house and come back, the scent knocks me over.

AngelaVA Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Yep, and some FOs that won't throw for me wicked, will do great in a wickless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlewitch Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Tell the Dip that if she bought a tart, burn it for 5 hours a day for 30 days, she would be out $30 to $47.00 depending on scent and maker. Its a very cheap way to scent. Let her know this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
