7Angela7 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I currently use Calwax CB-30 & am extremely pleased with it. However, since I will be moving to NC, shipping would be outrageous. I called Calwax and there are no distributors on the east coast, only in WA. So I'm stuck with deciding on paying the shipping for this wax or choosing another wax (I've already switched once before & it sucks!). I did not want to have to pay shipping because it will drive my prices up more, and I'll be moving to a lower-income state. I was hoping Candlescience carried a blend since I would be able to pick it up, but I wanted to stick with a paraffin/soy blend, which I don't see that they have. Does anybody know of a wax comparable to the CB-30, with a supplier on the east coast? Ugh, I'm really not looking forward to this . Thanks for your help!

7Angela7 Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Anybody have suggestions?Candlescience suggested 6006 - I've tried that before and didn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglie Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I use cb-30. I actually just changed from the cb2 and I am really liking it. You know shipping might not be as bad as you think. Give Swans a call and find out. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootie04 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Only thing i can think of that comes close is greenleaf's 70/30. i have tested both and IMO they behave very much alike.Patricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peppermint Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I have tried a couple different waxes and also love the cb-30 I use it in my tarts! Swans claims their shipping is really good to places all over.If you don't mind me asking I have been trying to branch out and make container candles and I just can't seem to find a good wick for the cb-30 wax.Any help would be appreciated.Suzanne H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 I already calculated the shipping from Swan's - it would go up about $15. That means I'd be paying about $100 for a case shipped to me. I pay a lot as it is, and did not want to go up in price - if anything, I need to try to lower it.I thought about trying Greenleaf. I wanted to wait a little bit to see if she's able to set up a shipping point for this wax out of NJ. I think that would help on the shipping.Ugh, if only Candlescience carried a great blend then everything would work out great. Peppermint, I RRD's work the best for me in this wax.

melissa1955 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Peppermint...I' had fairly good luck with HTP's...am now testing premeir 700's..they look promisingHTH..Melissa:cheesy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peppermint Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 That is a lot i shipping! I tried the Green-leaf 70/30 it was good but the shipping would have been to much for me. I kinda feel like a pay a lot to ship from Swans but I figure when I start making a lot I could just drive there. of course with gas prices right now not sure if I would save that muchWhat are RRD's???I got a same kit from Peaks that had CD, Zinc, HTP and LXSo far LX and HTP are my favorites but after awhile I just get them all messed up! I have a hard time trying to figure out which one is better. I honestly still haven't done good with containers 3 inches or more! Do you both add vybar to the wax as well?Thanks I really need the help!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissa1955 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Peppermint,I haven't been doing this very long, but I know what you mean about anything 3" or more..they are a bugger! I don't add anything but color and scent..cb30 has all the additives already in it except uv..HTH :rolleyes2 Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
