Bev Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I've been using EcoSoya 135 CB for my container candles. I've been checking prices and find I can get EZ Soy much cheaper, but before doing so would like to hear from those who have used it. What do you like/dislike about it? Any good qualities/bad qualities? Do you achieve good scent throw? Any info. you can share would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon WY Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hi Bev. Ez Soy is the only soy wax I have ever tried and I really like it. It's very easy to use and I get an excellent cold and hot throw with most FO's that I have tried. I think the main thing people don't like is the frosting that happens on the candle tops, which doesn't bother me any. I heat the EZ soy to 170, add FO and pour around 100 and get fairly smooth tops. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I can just ditto Shannon's post. I find it very easy to work with, and I get great throw, but the frosting can be an annoyance. I just have to be careful of my dye and the temps, and it's manageable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 It is the greatest for hot and cold throw. I have some wicking problems that I am trying to master but I love EZ soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I agree that EZ Soy has the best hot and cold throw. It does frost alot for me. So my candles are dye free.Some people have mastered this wax and can get it not to frost, but I am not one of them.:embarasse ( And I have tried everything from beeswax to pouring temps, ect. to fiqure it out. ):rolleyes2 I also have had a lot wicking problems with it in the last year! Had to rewick my whole line.(But any 100% soy, not just the EZ Soy will need testing with each new batch. Each new batch could be from different crops, which effects how it will burn.) I learned that after after I spoke to GF and Flicker at BC. If you try EZ Soy, just know that you should test your candles with each new batch of soy wax to make sure it burns properly.

dzeyez Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I also use ezsoy. I love it. Just one pour. I pour at about 100 degrees as well. I've tried another type of soy and wasn't impressed due to the fact I had to pour a second time to level my candles off. Wick testing can be a pain but I quess it goes with the territory.

BarbaraC Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I've been using ez soy for 5 years and I love this wax. I even mastered the color red with no frosting. That took a long time to do. I have tried other soy waxes but you cant beat the price of ezsoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Barbara: Love the look of your candles! I made the decision to take the leap and give EZ Soy a try. Wish me luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Barbara, WOW! The color looks gorgeous!!! How did you get the red to come out so beautiful with the EZ Soy?? Do you want to share your secret?? I tried doing my spiced cranberry that color and it would always frost. Sometimes worse than others.I have poured from 97-125 and they always frosted no matter what temp I poured at, especially the deep red colors. I could get my candles a nice pastel color with little forsting, but never the deep color you acheived!! Job well done!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elaine001 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I have never had a problem with frosting, but i use BC Universal Additive. However I have a hard time wicking maybe i might try with out additive. Does any one else use this additive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadams6970 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 wow that is fabulous.. how do you get such a deep color.... I can get wonderful pastels' too but have not gotten a deep color in anything.... that looks great......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I love it so much, I would marry it! I get some frosting once in a while, but it's no biggie. The scent throw is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I have found that the cinnamon Reddi Glo dye chip gives a very deep red with minimal frosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraC Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I only use liquid dye. I used peaks red liquid dye to get that color. The only thing you also need to do is wick up 2-4 sizes. :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
