AngelaVA Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 The problem is that what throws well for me may not work well for you. We all use different variations of soy wax and part of a candle's throw is in how you wick. So basically, you need to get some sample packs and try out Fos for yourself. There is no shortcut here.

BrandNewToCandles Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I started with soy kits from a Canadian supplier on ebay (Millennium Gel Candles) and the peanut butter cup was AMAZING! I didn't care that much for the smell (dead on peanut butter cup, though) but it really threw! Monkey Farts from the Candle Source was good, too.

carol k Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 millcreek's fo's are tested in pure soy and have amazing throws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I get mine from Bitter Creek. THey have a chart that shows wich ones they have tested in soy and how it works. It'll give you a good start so you don't waste money on ones that they say don't throw well.But for me I have found the following to be great throwers. But it might not be the same for you.Country Berry HotcakesHoney Coco MangoHoneysuckleGInger SnapCookies for Santa ( ok throw)Baked Apple ( ok throw)Pumpkin Pie SpecialWildberry Zinger TeaHot Fudge BrownieCucumber MelonPink Sugar ( throws great but I hate the scent! Blech)And Lavendar EOI think that's all the ones I've messed with. I have a really hard time getting Fresh Brewed Coffee to throw any kind of scent.

Bev Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Sample packs are your best way to experiment and find what works best for you. In the beginning, I started out with samples from Lonestar and Peaks and found several of each of their FOs that throw well in soy. Half of the fun of making candles (to me, anyway) is testing out the samples! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I recommend to start with one supplier. Based on my experience, testing oils from too many companies at once is overwhelming and costly. I started with Snowtop. Great customer service, products and fo's. I highly recommend them. The only scent that I did not like (it was too tart for me) was Blueberry Muffin . . . however, many like it. Other than that, Snowtop rocks!!! www.snowtopcandlesupplies.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
