Brat Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 4627, scent throw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 J223 and 6006 are better than 4627 and a lot less messy, Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovy Chic Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Another vote for 4627 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbaranj Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I am a fan of J223. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Typically, the softer the wax, the better the throw.Comfort Blend, by a long, long shot. I've used 223, 50, just about everything out there. Once I tried 4627 (about 4 years or so ago), I never looked back and have never considered anything else.My mantra is simple: If it doesn't throw in 4627, it ain't gonna throw!

Juggy Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Don't mean to hijack but I currently mix J223 with 415 and the J223 is a lot more expensive than the 4627. Those of you that have used both, do they perform similarly with wicks? I know if I switched I would need to retest which I would dread but I wonder why there is such a big price difference.

SliverOfWax Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 the J223 is a lot more expensive than the 4627. No, it isn't more expensive. The 223 comes in a 60 lb box. The 4627 is only 50 lbs. Based on Lone Star's prices, J223 is actually pennies cheaper.When buying supplies, weights/volumes are VERY important things to pay attention to.

Ring of Fire Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 4627 here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've tried both straight and I agree...4627. Like Sliver said...if a fragrance won't throw in 4627 then forget it. For a while I was adding it to my soyblend to help with the look and throw of my candles. Now I just order 50/50 from Candlewic.Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerJane Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I find that J-50 throws better than either of these two waxes hot. Although the 4627 still out-throws everything cold. I will agree that 4627 throws better (hot or cold) than J-223, but, J-50 to me is the king of hot throws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleRookie Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have to agree. 4627 wins for cold throw but if you are looking for hot throw, there isn't a better wax than J50. J50 will throw just about anything you put in it. It beat 4627 pretty easily in my book in terms of hot throw. And it's a whole lot easier to work with.
