littlebrownbug Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Has anyone purchased any of the two melters that CS is now offering? If so,what opinions do you have of it so far? Is it worth the price they are asking? How long does it take to melt the wax in these melters? Are they cool to the touch when operational?Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 From what I've read Mike, run the other way. Hopefully, Top will chime in with his nightmare.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Do a search on the Turkey Fryers everone is using! Sounds like they work great for people and are under $100.00. They hold 30lbs of wax. I plan to get one next month~ Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I believe E is thinking of junky melters from Candles & Supplies.However, I think you're referring to the ones CandleScience has started carrying. I'm not familiar with those but I trust the supplier.It's unfortunate CS and C&S can so easily be confused. Those two businesses are at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to professionalism.

littlebrownbug Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Thanks top....I thought they looked like quality made units but I have never really looked into it before so I didn't know for sure how good they were. I also trust CS and don't think they would intentionally sell junk to their customers. Is the price about right for those kinds of melters or are they a bit pricey?Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Well I would not pay that price. I get my bigger melters from coogar they are not pretty but they are work horses. You can get a direct heat 160 lb melter for about $900 from them. They are square so it makes it easy to slip a slab of wax in with out breaking it up. I can melt 160 lb of wax in a few hours.http://www.coogarproducts.com/products/melters/melter.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebrownbug Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks for that info. Vicky. I was kind of wondering about the prices of their melters too. I definately want to save my pennies for their Mark VII machine. What do you think of that machine besides being a bit pricey? What are the dimensions for the melters you have from coogar? Maybe someone else has these machines too and can comment on how they like them....they seem to be really good.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 That Mark VII would be so cool but that thing is about $20,000 way out of my budget. When I get to the shop in the morning I will give you the dimensions for the 160 lb melter Heck I will even take a picture of it for you. I know the thing is light weight maybe 25lb It only cost $45 to ship it to me in Colorado from New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had a repore with him for a long time....I am seriously thinking about selling one of the large melters....I have all 4 of them in my climate controlled garage but taking up WAY TO MUCH ROOM, we have no room to do anything productive sometimes. But as for product, I think they are tops, I would never use anything else.....Vicky if you ever decide to buy the Mark, I know where you can get one for about $10 or $12 thousand, gently used.

Vicky_CO Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 De thanks but I think that is out of my budget also for a while at least okay a long while and as it is now my shop is so full I can hardly get any work done.Isn't the owner a trip he love messing with my head.

Vicky_CO Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Okay here are the dimensions 29" tall that is from the bottom of the legs to the top of the melter 21" wide 22" deep. I would give you the inside dimensions but they are both full of wax each has about 1 1/2 of insulation.I can turn these off at night and when I get here in the morning the wax is not totally solid so only takes a short time to bring it back up to temp.here is the pics I promised ignore the slight mess I have had a few wax adventures.
