Trish Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 They're in! I just a got a sample and it looks great!! Fairway is calling them the Richland jars. I don't see them on the site yet, but Ron said they are in stock and ready to sell. It looks like right now they just have the 12oz size and the pricing I got from him was:With the LidBy the case $1.49Mixed pallet $1.26Full pallet $1.22 Without the lidBy the case $.86Mixed pallet $.73Full pallet $.69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleOH Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Are they thick like Libbey's Status jars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 I don't have a Libby one here to compare directly, but it's pretty thick, IMO. Thicker than some I've seen. I'll definitely be ordering these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yes, they're thick like the Libbey ones. Actually I was hoping they shaved a little weight off it, but I weighed one sample of each and the Richland jar was 10 grams heavier than Libbey without a lid.

Candle Man Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Yes they are nice, but because they are so heavy ,I wounder if the shipping will be as much or more than the case price per case shipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 http://www.fairwayglass.us/Having distribution in OH might make it cheaper on shipping for me. Trish, do you know if he plans on getting the 8 oz also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 whats Fairways web addy?www.fairwayglass.usTop, do you know for sure if they don't do them in frosted? I know you can get the other jars they carry frosted, but it's something you have to call about. I wonder if they would do these as well (probably for an additional cost of course)?

Trish Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Georgia, he said they plan to at some point...but not sure when. They've been working on this size for awhile. He's working on some stuff for me right now so when I hear back from him, I'll be sure to ask if he has an idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 When I talked with Ron awhile back, he told me their jars are approved by the American Candle ???something or other (I forget the abbreviation). I also have a sample and they are very nice...not the thin imports. Lucky for me in AZ they have a distribution center in Las Vegas and will be moving that one to Southern California...either way yeah! for us Southwestern folks!I also asked about the 8oz and they will not be around for awhile. I talked with him about the difficulty wicking the 12oz and hinted that the 8oz would be a great item to add. They actually do their own production and thus it's a time consuming process.

ah-soy Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Wow Michelle, briefly checked out your site...it's lovely! Just wondering if you do soy candles or paraffin? I use a 70/30 soy/para blend and also use color which I suppose may be why I have trouble wicking...usually only after the halfway point and down...got any tips for wicking these 12oz?

There's been some discussion of unstable flames in the 12 oz status jar when you get to the halfway point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFTS Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I got a sample of the jar and it is just as good as Libby's and priced much better than what I was paying elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a Ultra Core wick. The only thing I don't like in these jars is the 'dancing wick'. As long as the don't produce soot though I'm satisfied with the burn.

NotJustFragrances Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 He doesn't have the vegas distribution anymore, he closed it awhile back, he only ships out of Ohio and I think Texas now. I am in vegas and I get some glassware from Ron but it always comes from Ohio! Makes me kind of angry that his website still says VegasWhen I talked with Ron awhile back, he told me their jars are approved by the American Candle ???something or other (I forget the abbreviation). I also have a sample and they are very nice...not the thin imports.

Trish Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Judi, when I had jars shipped, they came from Texas, but when I asked about the Vegas thing, he said they would still charge me shipping as if it came from Vegas.He did tell me last week that they'll be opening a warehouse in So Cal somewhere so that makes me happy! (Well, not as happy as if I could have convinced him to open it in No Cal!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I use a 70/30 soy/para blend and also use color which I suppose may be why I have trouble wicking...usually only after the halfway point and down...got any tips for wicking these 12oz?It's impossible to get a perfect burn. It's not the wax, it's not the wicks, it's the design of the jar itself. A dancing wick just wasn't acceptable to me, it drove me crazy. I gave up on them.Damn extreme type A personality...
