ebarnes Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I purchased the actual diffuser oil (Lavender & Clean Cotton) from WSP & the are the best. Can you reccomend any other scents from WSP? Also, talked to me about the complete kit from acandleco, what are your experiences with these? How do you rate the strenght of thier scents (Strong-med-light)?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have never tried the actually scented base. I order my base from WSP and the reeds also but I add my fo. That way I can make it as strong as I want. I love their base though. Everyone that has bought them have been very satisfied with the scent throw from the reeds.I have found you need to use the stronger scents in the diffusers.

What base-oil ratio are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 About 1/2 & 1/2. Stronger than they say but I want mine strong:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibiscus Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 It seems I see those things everywhere I shop online, do they work as well or better than tarts or room sprays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragranceOilHeaven Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I sell quite a bit of reed diffusers and refill kits on my retail site...but personally...I love my tarts! I like the instant gratification of the tarts. Diffusers are just an easy way of getting scent diffused...but in my opinion, it will never be better than tarts. I love being able to change my scent when I get tired of it...and getting the scent right away and strong ... isn't anything like it!!But...that's just my opinion Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHippie Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 My customers prefer tarts also. Reeds were a real dud in this area. I know someone that works for Pier One and she said they just sit on the shelf. No in our area is has any interest in them. When she worked at another location in another city people loved them.

Dolphin146 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I like my tarts better. I sell the defuser kits in my store and have sold very few of them. But my tarts sell like crazy. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Yes, the oil needs to be very strong OOB. There is no heat involved to make it throw. My aunt is in a nursing home and they have really strict rules and regs regarding fragrancing rooms...absolutely no candles or wax items. She was limited to a commercial plug in until I made the diffuser for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Tarts & diffusers are like apples & oranges in my opinion. As previously mentioned tarts give a strong, instant release of scent while the diffusers are precisley that "they diffuse scent into the air." I market my diffusers as an alternative to candles for the "no candle zone areas" such as dorm rooms, nursing homes, etc. and for people who tend to forget to turn their warmers off. I carry 13 scents in diffusers and they sell great. Actually my diffusers sold more than my candles did at a show yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you rate the strenght of thier scents (Strong-med-light)?ThanksI don't use their pre-fragranced oils. I do get their base and mix in my own FO's. Have never had any problems with the base (DPG & alcohol free.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoyKandles Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I've found that WSP's reed base diffuses too quickly. It also hase an alcohol smell to it, so that must be the reason why it doesn't last very long. I like to use hexalene glycol for my base. It's not as heavy as DPG, no alcohol, works great and lasts longer than WSP's base! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoyKandles Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I've gotten hexalene glycol from Oak Court Creations and lately from The Personal Formulator. The last one has a better price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
