moonshine Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 They all sound wonderful.... that list looks like a weeks worth of pouring! I have had my eye on the Sea Kelp AH/RE... please do update!! and I have been trying and trying to get NG Cracklin Birch to burn right and it will NOT behave for me.... I LOVE that scent!! Let us know your outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyTru Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 All poured!!! This is just prelim testing to see if it's worth persuing more testing. I pour votive size. If that scent can fill my bathroom it moves to the keep testing phase for jar and wick size. If it doesn't...forget it...there are 1000's of others to try. I rarely fight with a scent...I just let it go...LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 That is a fabulous idea! Do you pour right Into the votive holder than....I can't see 415 coming out of a votive mold without some PB added in That is always what stops me from testing to many FO's- filling up my jar and then a total waste if no throw or a wonky FO that doesn't work with my main 3 wick sizes!

NaturallyTru Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yes I pour in the votive holder and burn it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChandlerWicks Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks Trudy! I try to test in 4ozers but this is even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Ya- that is going to save me a lot of $$ in wax and FO....my luck though I won't get the wick right everytime! LOLThanks for the wonderful useful tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 MS have you ever tried ECOs with 415? I'm having better luck with those lately. Better HT & hardly any mushballs falling off into the wax. Sorry OT!Ya- that is going to save me a lot of $$ in wax and FO....my luck though I won't get the wick right everytime! LOLThanks for the wonderful useful tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hi Trudi- I use the Southern Sunshine now. Its one of my best sellers. Not a favorite but it sells. It has a medium to strong throw for me. I have the Black Currant Tea in a melt. It's a nice floral tea to me. Has a medium HT for me. I'm interested in hearing about the Balsam & Cinnamon as well as the Sea Kelp. I have samples of both. Would also love to hear about the Fireside too.

TallTayl Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have a sample of Sea Kelp. It's not my cup of tea, but wonder what you think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 CW- no I haven't touched an Eco since the beginning days of using 464....hated them in that waxBut I have tons lying around so I may experiment with it- thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 MS this is working perfectly! I made a bunch this A.M., now for wicking the little jars. It's so much easier, Thanks again, Trudy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 MS this is working perfectly! I made a bunch this A.M., now for wicking the little jars. It's so much easier, Thanks again, Trudy!Perfect-I ordered my holders today...I only keep 6 or so around for test burning votives.....bummer of it All is a couple weeks ago there was a Craigslist post for 4 dozen of them used at a wedding for 20.00!!! I passed because I wasn't sure if they really were only used for a couple hours and didn want to chance re-sale! AND she was only 15 minutes away....sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yep, that's a bummer. But then you would have too many sitting around. They need little lids so CT can be judged. Maybe tinfoil or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
