rebeccajo99 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I made my first tart a few weeks ago. (I promise to post pics soon). I am still looking for an electric tart warmer to test them out. I found some at Bittercreek that I like, but don't want to buy 1 without having other stuff to order. I like to have a bulk of things to order when I have to pay for shipping. I was just wondering since I have one of those candle warmer plates and tins if I can start testing scent throw with that and then when I get my tart warmer test to see how they come out of the warmer, or do the 2 things totally melt differently and I would be wasting time and wax doing that? Also, do you know where I can find an electric tart warmer without paying shipping. I have looked at all the hobby stores and stores that sell home products in my area and I cannot find them. I am losing hope on finding one. Sorry if this is a stupid question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont sell the warmers, and I only sell tarts when customers request them, so I never got around to buying a warmer either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I use a cup warmer and a tin all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccajo99 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks both of you. I will start testing them that way. Hopefully I will find a warmer soon so I can at least start testing them that way too. But at least I can start making a list of good and bad scents.

scifichik Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I discovered that I had a Rival Potourri Crock that was on the bookshelf disguised as a pencil cup I plugged it in and it works like a champ. I saw several listed on eBay, and there are several electric warmers under $10 on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 And you can buy so many different things at Amazon, it's not hard to "need" $25 worth and get free shipping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccajo99 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 thanks guys. I ended up needing some more supplies from Candles and Supplies and saw that they had a cool one too. So I ordered one from them. I should be getting it either tomorrow or monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleLadyBusiness Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hi Rebecca, tart warmers can all vary on how they melt, because they can have different wattage.. this can also make the difference in scent throw..depending on the wax you are using will depend on how easily the wax comes out once it sets up.. if you have a two piece tart warmer , I have placed the lid in the freezer for just a tiny bit and the wax will pop right out.. I haven't bought any local, only online.. in bulk.. good luckDiane Mumm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
