Daisymae Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Since my 6 oz Tureen jar is one of the hardest to wick, I was thinking of just making them wickless! Can I just use what I have already wicked? Just pull the wick out? At least for testing purposes anyway.I am using J223 with 1 oz/lb FO...I am reading different things and want to know your opinion if this enough for wickless or not.And lastly, what needs to be tested on wickless? Just scent throw? Any advice on ANYTHING else would be appreciated also! Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Yes you can use what you have. The tureens are perfect for wickless.Oh and for wickless I generally use a little bit more FO, somewhere around 1.5 oz per lb of wax. But, what you have right now ought to work great. Go ahead and give it a go.:smiley2:By the way, the warmers work great for wickless. You can take off the bowl to put a candle on or use the bowl for tarts. http://www.vistawholesale.com/Red_Candle_Warmer_p/cw223.htm Edited February 10, 2011 by LeahRB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymae Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thanks! I can't wait to try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Quick question - what size tureens fit those warmers?I have some warmers from Bitter Creek and they will hold a 3 1/4" diameter jar. The 6oz tureens are too big.I was using a 12oz vibe jar for my wickless but the tureens I can get much cheaper and would switch but I know the 6oz tureen won't fit the warmer I have.

Wessex Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The 6 oz tureens I get from CS fit great on the 2-in-1 warmers from OBI.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymae Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I just bought a warmer today from Dollar General...the 6 oz Tureen fits pefectly in there and I think so would an 8 oz. It's really plain looking, but it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymae Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 So, I threw my candles on a warmer and voila! The throw is fantastic! I was so amazed! So happy to those who suggested wickless to me...I am sold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I find more and more customers are asking for wickless candles and tarts. So there is a big selling nitch for them.The candle warmers that are deep crocks that you place the candle jar inside are the ones I had trouble with fitting tureens inside. Plate type candle/tart bowl warmers don't have sides so they are perfect for tarts and the tureen jars. I'm referring to the bowl type warmers that have removable tart bowls with the warming plate underneath. I get mine from C&S. But many places have them and in different colors and styles and prices.Nice thing about wickless candles and tarts is the scent throw rocks!

Wessex Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Candybee, I agree with you about the HT on tarts and wickless candles. I am testing new spring scents in palm candles right now and the HT just seems so weak by comparision! The candle warmer I have set up to test how long my tarts are lasting I had to move into the furthest back bathroom because it was filling the whole place with scent! (wow, talk about a run-on sentence, LOL) I am definately getting alot of interest in tarts right now. Haven't started testing my tureens yet, but going to have to do it soon.Cheers,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewls819 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I had some 6oz tureens I had trouble with and also thought of doing this. Wonderful news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymae Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Just make sure you keep it in a safe place where the kiddies won't knock it over Actually, my kids are pretty old...14, 17, and 19. It was a complete accident when they knocked over my candles...lol. They were cleaning the kitchen and they were sitting on top of my cooling rack...when he tried to push the cooling rack out of the way, the rubber legs caught the counter and one side collapsed! They all fell off...he kept saying "I'm sorry Mom." Oh well, I always think I am angry now, but will look back and laugh one day. Love my kids!

jennyjo Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I have pretty much switched over to clamshells tarts myself...they are the most popular thing right now. The portion tarts sold like crazy but they are labor intensive for such an inexpensive item...so I went back to clams. I do wickless candles by request.

flowerbaby Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 My problem with the tarts is that the scent is very strong for an hour or so but then it weakens very quickly. I use the KY Parasoy Votive Wax. Love the convenience and all, but wondering if I should use something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
