Tess Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Okay I need ya'lls noses. Whenever I make Peaks Fruit SLices i always smell a fuely smell. So I add a hint of vanilla. I recently sent out 2 cases of the stuff to a wholesaler,and forgot the vanilla . So my question is, am I just paranoid or have candlenose, or do ya'll have to add vanilla too. I am hoping I do not have to call him and tell him to pull these. How embarassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyrn Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Well, I haven't poured Peak's fruit slices but I have poured one very similar oob from a different supplier, and I too smell fuel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I didn't used to smell the fuel in J50, but when I switched waxes, it was horrible! Sorry, can't help your paranoia, because I'd be worried too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Waaaahhhh. It is a j223/beeswax blend. I am burning one now to see if the sweetness of the BW will help. I hope DH's nose is working today :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Never got the fuel smell in the 1343, but haven't tried it in J223 or the 1945 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnyeg Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I've never smelled that at all with fruit slices, and it's one of my best sellers! I've used it in quite a few different waxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern-Marie Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I know the smell you're talking about...I got it with Christmas Thyme...not in the wax melts or wickless, just in the wicked jar. How can this be? It has to be the FO, there's no petroleum in soy.What is up with that anyway? Thought it was me.I'm glad you posted this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcandletarts2 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I use Peak's fruit slices in J50, no fuel smell. I also tried it in a soy, can't remember which one, no fuel smell, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deputy6512 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I can definitely detect a fuel smell in J223, but my husband doesn't. Guess it just depends on your nose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asher Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 One of my favorite scents is fruit slices from Lone Star. I haven't had issues with any odd smells while using this one. I suppose you could always try the Lone Star version (sorry Peaks).By the way, it seems that all of you are using these fancy-sounding waxes...like IGI 4361 or J220 or C-3P0, etc. I just use something called Yaley Premium Wax (which, for the sake of sounding cool like the rest of you, I will call XG467). I tried some IGI votive wax a few years back and just didn't like how it behaved. However, I have had great results with the XG467...and with a 40% off coupon from Michael's it is just 0.95/lb (after Tennessee's insane sales tax is figured in). I assume that's comparable to the others, once you add in shipping charges for online wax purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
