Daisymae Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hi all....I was looking for some tarts that last longer than a day lol. I've tried Scentsy (terrible), Yankee, and Walmart (which seems to be the best of the three) but I'm still not satisfied with their life span. What's the average life span of a tart and what brands seem to be the best?Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysWondering Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 An average 1 ounce tart will last about 10 to 12 hours or melt time. Some will go 24 hours (of melt time), some will fizzle at 8 hours. Depends on the scent, a cake or cookie scent will maybe make it 8 hours, coffee, floral and laundry scents are more likely to make it past the 12 hour mark. As always, exceptions to every thing.

wildwings Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 There are so many factors that affect the how long a tart will last and how strong it is. The warmer that you are using makes a huge difference as well as the temperature of your home, if you have the air conditioner or heater on or any ceilings fans running. I can melt a tart on a day that my heater is on and have it completely fill my home for 12+ hours and the same warmer with a cube from the same package on a cold day with my homes heater off will not make it 5 feet from the warmer. I would not say there is a “brand” that is better and I would assume most of us here that spend countless hours testing and re-testing are doing so to create the best tarts possible. I personally don’t purchase store bought melts to know which ones are better simply because I won’t buy from someone other than another small business owner. There are too many wonderful people hand pouring candles and melts to spend my money on a manufactured item. I think you might be pleasantly surprised if you give a handmade tarts a try.
