Alajane Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I bought a few boxes of the Ball Premiere Elite 4-oz jars to try wickless candles in for fall craft shows. I just love the looks of these jars, so I poured my first wickless candles this weekend. I popped one on my candle warmer yesterday, got a great scent throw for about 6-8 hours, and then not much at all. I decided the scent throw is no better than that from one of my clamshell tarts (1 cavity from a 6-pack).If the throw is no better from a 4-oz wickless candle than from a tart, why would people want to spend the extra money for a candle? Is there a secret to improving the scent throw in a wickless jar?TIA,Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymber Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I am not an expert at this but maybe it is your FO? We do a ton of wickless candles and only have that problem or similar with certain FO's. Like NG's Lilac...ZERO hot throw. But then we have a 5oz scented with Grandma's Kitchen from BCN and it has been on the warmer for 2 months (without ever taking it off or shutting the warmer off) and it still smells. Have never had one that threw for a few hours and was done tho. That seems odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Well, I used a FO that is fantastic and very strong in candles--Muscadine. It's probably my all-time best seller. I wonder if it would be less strong in a wickless than a regular candle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
