Wax similar to IGI 4630

[candlenubie]

Hi everyone,

My first few container candles were made from IGI 4630 and they came out great! However, because of the high shipping cost (peak-new jersey) I considered switching wax.

I received a sample of CBL 125 from Candlewic and was excited to try it. However, so far I am disappointed. I made three 4oz container candles with three types of wicks (44-32-18, htp and cotton core). The scent throw-both hot and cold- were poor.

I am considering testing a different wax (j223 or another CBL). I loved the results from IGI 4630...can anyone suggest another wax that can produce the same hot and cold scent throw. Or can you give feedback on your experience with any of these waxes.

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks :-)

Hi, just order your 4630 from CandleScience if you like it. They're much closer than Peak and have exceptional shipping rates. You can get stuff from them in 2 days. They have a good selection of products and are very professional and customer-service oriented. Think of them as Peak East, LOL.

Thanks Topofmurrayhill! I visited the website and they do have the shipping at a cheaper price. Is this the first time you going to use 4630? what cantainer wax do you normally use?

Thanks again for the quick response!

I make my own. It doesn't matter what anyone else uses because it's all good if it works for you. The best thing you can do now is keep using what you like and have experience with, and learn how to make the best possible candle with it. There is plenty more to learn about wicks and fragrance and such. You have all the rest of your life to try different waxes.
