SparkysCandles Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 For the life of me I can not get anything LEMON to throw a hot throw. cold throw is barely there. I have tried three different "lemon" varieties and nothing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Citrus has always been difficult for me ... either no throw or a fuel smell. There was a supplier (now closed) who had a dynamite Lemon Biscotti that I don't think I can ever find again. I'm hoarding the little that remains for personal use!Still haven't been able to get Fairy Dust & Twinkle Toes (JS) to throw. Haven't tried any other suppliers ...

jeanie353 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Her Lemon Biscotti was my favorite of all the FOs she carried. I haven't searched hard for a replacement but have seen a few out there with similar names. Did just order Iced Lemon Cookies. Will see if that is even close. Hoping though ETA: Will report if I get fuel from it. And have had problems with citrus scents and fuel often.

ChandlerWicks Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 TigerLily & Cantaloupe. Absolutely one of my favorites & doesn't throw for me even in melts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkysCandles Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 I hate it because Lemon has that classic "Clean and Fresh smell" . Frustrating. I have had fuel smell coming from citrus scents as well. Might just give up on those. what to do, what to do, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkysCandles Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Melon FOs don't do well for me either. The only one I can get a good throw from is Cucumber Melon. But as far as cantaloupe, or honeydew or watermelon... I gave up trying a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 CSs Lemon Chiffon is a very good thrower for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Enchanted Lites Lemon Cheesecake is one of my best sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Peak's Lemon Pound Cake is strong for me and the scent lasts and lasts.ETA: For me, I am eternally on a quest for a yummy Carrot Cake and a Home Sweet Home that is not heavy on the rose and actually smells like Y@nkee's. I have spent toooo much time and money trying on these two so have given up for the moment.

e911 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I made a small batch of Peak's Cedar Scent, and I'm very disappointed with it's cold throw Not sure if it's something I did or if it's just weak in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it yet, but everyone raves about her FO's: http://www.wildfire-creations.com/Candle_supplies2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 For the life of me I can not get anything LEMON to throw a hot throw. cold throw is barely there. I have tried three different "lemon" varieties and nothing....I read a post a couple of days ago from someone who said she usually adds her FO at 180 to 185, but for citrus she has to go down to 170 to 175 to avoid the fuel smell. Maybe that will work. Has anybody else tried that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
