EccoLights Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Anyone know where to pick up the jars for a 7 day candle at wholesale? They are about 8 1/2" tall by I think 2 - 3" wide. Anyone know a good source for these? Thanks in advance everyone and hope your all having a great week so far =) xoxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccoLights Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Well I might have answered my own question =) Looks like the wonderful dollar store around here carries them =) If anyone knows of another source, let us know too =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccoLights Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Oh how sad...Still looking, the dollar store ones already have the candle in them =( UGH! Finding supplies sometimes is the worst.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Try Fillmore Container. I think they used to have them. If they don't have them now, they might be able to order some for you. They are very nice to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccoLights Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Deb thank you so much, I actually just found them through google, had to weed out all the "pre made candles" first tho =) Wow great price over there too =) In case anyone stops by this thread looking for info here is a link:http://www.fillmorecontainer.com/Jars/7-Day%20Prayer%20Candle.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 A jar 8" tall by 3" wide will last much longer than 7 days. It might last forever. Of course it won't burn worth squat. About 2" in, it won't get enough air flow to keep the flame alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccoLights Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 I was thinking that too Silver, in that it would last longer... but with this candle they would burn it 24 hours a day for 7 days....The idea is you burn the candle and say a prayer each day, and at the end of the 7th day your pray is heard. Just starting the testing faze of everything of course but doing our math here, the one from filmore holds about 16oz of wax, we get 10 hours of burn per ounce so that's 160 hours. 24 hours a day x 7 days = 168 hours, so we are right in the ball park =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedar_lea Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 That can't be right. I know that I've burned many of the store bought ones down to the last few inches and I've been wick testing containers like this & I know I've gotten more than 2" before I decided that the wick wasn't right yet. Of course I haven't found the right one, but I've been a little distracted.I get mine herehttp://generalwax.com/glass-container-jars--lids---gift-boxes/glass-containers---jars/cate_104/p___Z909670.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
