4630 or 4633???

[dest]

That is the question!LOL!

The only kind of wax I used is J223(now 4633). That is until recently I accidently got 2 cases of the IGI 4630. I have poured a few candles & think I might actually like this wax better. I was hoping to get y'alls input on which wax you like better & why?~PRETTY PLEASE~Is there anything special I need to know about this wax? I really appreciate your help! THX & HUGZ~

Nothing particularly special I can think of, except you probably need to wick down from the J223.

The first container wax I used was a slab of J223, after that I started getting 4630 because it was a bit cheaper. It turned out that I actually liked it better too and I've stuck with it for my container wax ever since.

I've been using the 4630 for almost 2years. It smokes and soots a lot. A LOT!

I've had to wick down several sizes from what I used with J50 and it's better but I'm still not 100% happy with the soot.

I thought about switching back to J50 (now 4636) and tested a handful of my top sellers and found that they don't throw as strong as they did in the 4630. I think I'm sticking with the 4630 for now and hopefully can rid of the soot issues.

I gave up on the 4630, wicking is rough with all the soot. The 4630 has alot of oil in it, which is why it smokes(info from supplier). I did find the zincs smoked less, but get mushrooms.

I am about to give up on 4630 as well, due to the smoking.

The 6006 is great, still have to wick up but burns pretty clean. It has awesome throw too.

Thank y'all so much for your help! I really appreciate it & definitely needed it. I am using the zinc wicks so hopefully they will work right. I like the fact too that it's cheaper. So I guess I'm going to stick w/ this for now & see how it goes. Thx again for all the helpful advice. Hugz~

i use 4630 with zinc wicks and never had any soot or smoking problems because as i tell my customers TRIM YOUR WICK BEFORE EACH USE and your rims are basically clean each time good luck

Some folks, including myself, convert 4630 into parasoy in ratios of between 50/50 to 75/25. You might take a small hit of HT depending on the soy wax you use but the upside is much less soot and still great HT. All of the waxes I use now are personal blends; pillars, votives, containers, and melts.
