mindyw86 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hey everyone, I just poured some mango papya from Peaks and it was no where near as strong as some others I have from them. I was wondering if it was me and how I did or it just isn't a very strong scent.I used 4630 wax heated to about 175 added 1oz of FO and liquid dye....stirred for about 2 mins, and then poured into 4oz jj at about 160-165. my wick is 44-24-18 zinc. Any suggestions are much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I tried Mango Papaya from both CS and Peaks -- neither were strong at all So, I don't think the problem is you....it's them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindyw86 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Thank you! The Passion Fruit and Guava from Peaks was super strong mixed exactly the same, so I thought it could be just a weak scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleAddict_RN Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm glad I'm not the only one!! I poured Peaks Mango papaya yesterday and I can't even smell it:( Of course I haven't burned it yet. Letting it cure a while hoping that the scent will pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Just got a sample bottle from CS today so I'll just skip wasting my wax and make some carpet freshener with it instead :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwantItgreen Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 And I blend Peaks Mango Papaya with a little pineapple and at 7% it is STRONG! I'm actually going to cut back to 6% on that blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconut Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I always had good luck with Peak's Mango Papaya and it was strong. I think 175 is a little high for that wax. My FO was bought a while ago, any chance they changed the formula? I use HTP wicks with this scent. Edited April 1, 2011 by coconut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I have used both in my GG palm and they have both been great throwers. My customers tend to prefer CS MP thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindyw86 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 coconut, what temp would you recommend? Add Fo at 170 and pour and at cooler temp or still pour at about 165? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
