Lightning Bug Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hi. I bought a few of the Obi warmers on one of the co ops. I have since done a search here and agree that the Obi 24 watt gets to warm...about 180-190 degrees. It was mentioned that someone had a two temp one or a variable temp one...something like that...so you can melt faster and then keep warm at a lower temperature. So I wondered where these could be purchased. Looked at Levines and theirs are 20 watt but didn't see any two temp ones. So if that isn't possible, do Levine's 20 watt ones keep the wax cooler? Every gift store around here has different brands, but I sure didn't find much by googleing (word?) I really would like some safe ones. TIA.

Arlene Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hi BethI have those warmers also. I use a lamp dimmer that I bought at Home Depot. The kind you use for table lamps. It has a slide control that will give you a whole range of temperatures. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthouse Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 After reading your post, I just tested my Levine 20-watt tarburner and the temperature of the melted tart (1 oz) is around 155-160 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Bug Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Thank you Arlene. I guess I thought the variable temp was part of the burner. But now I see...only a little slow. Good idea...think I'll check it out after Christmas. And bthouse, thanks for that info. on the Levine. That's what I wanted to know.
