Wax 1275 from C & S?

[southernscents]

I have been using wax 1275 from Candles & Supplies, but I have been reading lots of posts on this board about J50 & J223. I was wondering if anyone else had used this 1275 that I use. It is a veg/par blend and is so easy to work with. I get a great cold throw from this wax. I also get a good hot throw, but there are some FO's that do not have a hot throw with this.

Comments wanted.....

Hi Southern, I also have been using this wax, but I mix it w/ J223, this was at Cindy's recommendation @ C&S. Mixing this way gets you a beautiful, smooth, creamy jar, w/ no repour needed ever (slow cooling!), and cuts down on cure time. We use CD Heinz Coreless wicks w/ this blend. With these wicks we get a great hot throw @ 9% w/ MOST oils!

HTH!

I use 1275 with the CD Heinz Coreless also. I get a great cold throw and a pretty decent hot throw (depending on the FO). I'll have to try cutting in some J223. What is your ratio on the 1275 to the J223?

I know the scent throw is pretty decent but I have not had a lot of luck with this wax. I get major frosting no matter what temp I pour at, and regardless of scent, even preheating jars. I mixed 50/50 with Comfort Blend and not much better. I actually just got a slab each of Harmony Blend, J50 and J300, because I was so frustrated with 1275. J300 with a little vybar is working out beautifully and the burn tests have been great too.

I just poured 50/50 of 1275 and J50, so after the cure I'll light one up and let you know how it goes, if interested. :-)

If I pour below 170 I get frosting, but pouring at 180 or above I get a major wet spot (just one). I love every aspect of this wax, except the damn wet spot.
