jakalex Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I have read mixed reviews on this company on some threads here. I decided to go ahead and give them a try anyway. I checked out there site and emailed for a scent list. Almost immediately I received an email with the scent descriptions attatched. I also posted on a few other boards that use their scents for some suggestions. Bruce actually emailed me after he found out I was inquiring and told me to call him! I spoke with Bruce today and have samples on the way! I ordered 10 different scents and he is also throwing several scent samples in and some samples of wax! Very very nice! I am very impressed with their customer service! I will update once I have some of these in wax.Thanks Bruce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I have never used their FO's so I'm looking forward to your review, I do use the Enchanted-Lights Millenium blend and I'm very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallawayCandle Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Bruce is awesome! I got a 5lb sample of the millenium blend at no cost. That is awesome customer service. Let us know what you think of the FO. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I agree they have great customer service and I tested out some tea lights with the two samples of wax he sent me..but I made some votives with the votive blend he sent and country pine FO..and they came out horrible..would not stay lit for nothing. :undecided ..tea lights worked great though. That mossberry sounds wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julwid Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Bruce is awesome. He has always been very helpful to me. I have used their wax for 3 years now and love it. I need to try the millinium blend and have not done that yet. I use the 100 % container soy and the votive and have great luck. I really love their pumkin pie spice. It is the best. I sell it all year long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakalex Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 I started burning the Hot Apple Strudel and Mossberry last night and I love both of these scents! They are in a pint mason jar with an RRD47 wick(CB135) and the hot throw is wonderful! A++++++ on these two scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gicandles Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 EL's Container wax takes a little TLC to use as it has no additives or stabalizers in it. So you might have to fight frosting and rough tops. However, their prices can't be beat and they do have distributors all over North America, which can save on the shipping costs.The customer service is excellent.I have used almost half of the FO that they carry and every time they get a new one a 1lbs jug of it lands on my loading dock with my next order. I have never had any scent throw or burning problems with their wax or wicks, and I go through a couple pallets of wax a month. If you are having burning problems with EL wax (particularily votive wax) I would suggest you just need a more powerfull wick. For their votives I use a 28-24 Papercore from wickit.net with a natural wickwax coating. Burns beautifully, and is a natural wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokeemaiden Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 gicandles ~ Have you ever tried their Votive Soy Wax? I found an EL dealer about 30 minutes from me, but I haven't had the nerve to go there yet!!! I've heard many mixed discussions on their wax and oils to. They have some nice FO's according to their list. Guess I should just take the plunge and give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisajo Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Their votive wax is EXCELLENT!!! I get perfect votives every time and don't have to babysit the wax. I've never had one that didn't give an outstanding hot or cold throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gicandles Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I would never use any other votive wax than EL. It has a nice creamy finish and if you add a hardner it makes decent pillars as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokeemaiden Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks Gals ~ Guess I'll go ahead and place an order for the EL Votive Wax then. I've been using JS 50/50 Pillar for my tarts and its excellent. But, shipping is just getting to expensive. BTW..I lurk here a lot, LOL! My name is Connie. I just got in several new samples from AR and ICC and I can't wait to give them a try. Everything smells fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yep, gotta love a votive wax that doesn't get sink holes and doesn't need re-pours.:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokeemaiden Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ok Girls, I placed a small order with a local EL dealer today. Going to pick up my votive wax tomorrow. She said I will probably have frosting on my tarts...why, why would she say that???? That doesn't sound good. Oh well, I'll just hope that the frosting doesn't appear. Anxious though to give it a try. Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriLynn Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I've poured enchanted lites soy wax for many years,, since the days when the company was still located in New Ulm, MN. Do you know if they've recently reformulated their FO's. Years back I tested about 20 FO's. and found them to be very light,,, nothing really strong like I was currently using. I've never used any of their FO's in my line, but I'm always looking for new things...Let us know how the rest of your testing goes...

cherokeemaiden Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I went and got my Votive Wax a few FO's from a local EL dealer. Poured four sets of tarts and the cold throw is awesome. Waiting until this weekend to test burn them, but so far, its excellent. Nice creamy tops, and so easy to work with. The tarts slid right out of the molds with no release spray or putting them in the freezer for a few minutes. I'm thinking with such a great cold throw the hot throw should be excellent (hope so anyway)! I'll let ya'll know how they burn. I'm very impatient, but I going to let them cure. I'm really excited. This will save me a bundle in shipping charges, YEAH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriLynn Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'll be anxious to see what FO's you tried, and how your testing went.I love both the votive and container blends of EL. I tested many soy waxes when I first started pouring soy 6 years ago... I found EL to be the most consistent in performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Bug Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Are their FOs the same at each of their distributors? I had a few from moonglow a long time ago and they were so-so, so just wondering. TIA. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokeemaiden Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Sherrilynn ~ I don't know what happened. Yesterday I noticed that all the tarts I poured had a white cloudy film on them. Frosting? The cold throw had almost disappeared and they looked just aweful. I tested today the Snickerdoodle, good hot throw, but tarts just didn't look good. I also tested the chocolate and a vanilla crunch I believe. Chocolate smelled like it was burnt and the vanilla was very mild, which I expected. I've yet to find a vanilla that really throws well hot. I'm not really sure exactly what happened, guess I'll give Michelle (EL Dealer) a call tomorrow and see what her intake is. Do you have any suggestions, has this ever happened to you? I am so disappointed, I thought I had really found a good wax, close by that I was going to like.
