LindsayLou Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Which one would it be? I am having a heck of a time deciding what wax I want to use. I have done a boat load of research, think I have it figured out, and then read something else and change my mind. Haha!Here's my criteria:Must have excellent scent throw hot & coldMust be one pourI do NOT want to have to add any additivesSoy or Paraffin are ok--no immediate preference, though leaning towards Paraffin.So.....what's your top pick and why?

AAngels Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 My favorite is c-3 soy, don't add anything to it except color or leave it natural. Single pour also. Have had wonderful luck and wouldn't change a thing. Good Luck:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixisprkl Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 So far I like IGI 4627. It's one pour if I warm up my jars (sometimes I have to heat gun the top of it...but that's easy), it holds color beautifully, great hot throw and cold throw, minimal wet spots..... My only problem is that wicking it is hell. But the wicking part has been most difficult with all the waxes I have tried.Now to get to this point.... I have been through 4 waxes now. 1 soy, 1 soy/paraffin blend, and another paraffin container wax.... now the 4627.You may find that you are like me (and many others) and go through several waxes before you decide 100%.I am not even sure if I will stick with this wax 100%... haha.... but I will have fun trying to figure it out!HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterwillow Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'm still testing the 4627 but as someone said " wicking is hell". I'm going to be testing Farmhouse 50/50 next week. I love Greenleafs 70/30. Great scent throw and easy to wick with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in PA Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Absolutely love the Farmhouse 50/50- easy as can be, works well w/ lots of scents, one pour (I do slow cool, otherwise I can potentially get some frosting-nothing major- and a slight wax "nipple" around my wick, which is gone as soon as someone lights it up!) Few wet spots, great load capacity, and cold, hot throw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Based on your criteria, you are going to get alot of responses.Best advise is to order a slab of the ones that sound interesting and try them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindsayLou Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 My favorite scented candle is vanilla, and I've never really had much luck with a soy vanilla smelling as fragrant. So I may end up sticking with a paraffin or a combo.Thanks for answering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k0mptec Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 It is going to depend on you really, the different waxes are so versitile, I suggest you trying out several kinds to see what you like, trust me when I say welcome to your newest addiction!

Gdawg Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 well I based my wax on that I could pick it up to save on shipping after I tried many and had them shipped to me. I am now using CB135 and love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
