rjdaines Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I have failed miserably with getting Nature's Garden Monkey Farts to throw. I have tried the following waxes:464EcoSoya PB (votives)CB-Advanced4630Percentages tried were 6, 7, and 8Soy candles were cured for 1 monthWicks were LX and HTP in paraffin and CD in SoyCan anyone give me a solution to this? I'd be willing to buy another wax and wick just to get it work. This is bugging me because I know others have gotten it to work, so now it's a personal fight between me and the farting monkey. Help would be appreciated with post here or as an IM. I'd love to get a container candle working with this primate gas.Thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I got this to throw in 464 in a 16 ounce apothecary double wicked with eco 10. It took a while, almost an hour to smell it but once it got a fmp it was ok. Nothing spectacular but it did ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I switched AH/RE Monkey Farts - great throw in my pariffin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I use Monkey Farts from NG and get a great throw in my blend of Eco soya PB and Xcel. It's one of my best sellers. But I just make wax melts so I may be of no help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamist Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I switched from NG to ICS's Monkey fart. ICS has an extremely-strong fruity flavored Fart!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdaines Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Looks like there are at least 3 sources of a FO called Monkey Farts NG, ICS, and AH/RE. I will look at the two I didn't order from.@ SuzyK I have PB and CB-A but not Xcel, did you ever try that combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have never tried CB-A because it didn't seem to get good reviews like the Xcel. I've gotten such great results with the combo I use so I haven't felt the need to branch out.I hope you can find something that works because this is such a great scent!

Seamist Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Is their much difference in the smell of the farts? NG Vs ICS - NG has more of a citrus pineapple scent to it.ICS is sweeter and fruity with the citrus scent being on the lighter side.But it is a close dupe.. And I am sure you can get away with the switch.I personally LOVE ICS Fart and so do my customers.If you switch to ICS and your customers notice a little change in the scent throw, just tell them the Monkey had a change in diet and is eating sweeter fruits!! LOL Farts never smell the same IMO anyway!! :tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny Name, Great sweet banana and coconut scent.Yes.. It has bubblegum... Try it, you will like it.. The new reformulated version is even better IMO.Thanks ICS for noting it is reformulated and just not changing it out on us!! I sooo appreciate it when a supplier lets us know that the oil has been reformulated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardLOZ Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 We use NG's Monkey Farts in both jars & melts. The palm melts throw really well, as soes most things in palm. In out jars which are a soy / palm blend it throws well also, however this is an oil that needs some cure time. I typically will not sell / burn this one unless it has been poured for at least 2 weeks. Have had no complaints so far and many repeat sales. The soy we use is 464.Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Found this on the BC board1 oz Strawberry + 1 oz Kiwi + 1 oz Banana + 1 oz Coconut + 1 oz Pineapple + 1 oz Bubble Gum + ½ oz VanillaThat is awesome! Thank you! It would be really fun to mix this someday. If you pour all those FOs together in a big container, will it keep and stay good for days, weeks, or months? Or would you only dump it into wax as needed and not store it premixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantItgreen Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) I think you can premix them and save. My guess is that is what the suppliers do. I need to find a bubblegum and kiwi yet.

GaryPC Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I tried it in C3 and it had a very light HT. May try it later in a bigger jar, but have others I'd rather test first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
