  1. I sell both types of warmers, the light bulb and heating pad. I love Jackel designs and wish they would make one with a bulb. They are not as hot but throw my tarts. But I use container wax for tarts and it has a lower melt point. The bulb ones sell better for me and are nice but you can't beat Jackle for the art work. If you want to try one I can sell you one, just got some in. PM me.

  2. If I understand, you pour into container then add scent? Just in case it makes a difference, and I don't know if it will. Heat wax, add FO, stir well, let set about 5 minutes then pour into container. Even the pouring process mixes the FO and wax together. So maybe mix before you pour....

  3. Drops are working for me, what's the difference counting drops or dropping in and seeing how much it weighs. The bottles they come in are really messy as is all color that comes in the dropper top with the little red cap. The glass droppers are less messy but I still get it on me just not as much. Wish she would think about changing bottles to the glass with dropper. I guess I'm just not that concerned about my candles coming out the exact same color every time. I sell in small batches so there are not a bunch to compare them with. What I'm finding I like is I can get a light color without messing with a toothpick etc.

  4. I don't think NG's Cucumber Melon smells like B&L. Tenn smells more like it to me. I agree with Peaks Sweet Pea smelling better and am now mixing the two to wean off B&L. I think KY's Oatmeal Milk & Honey is close. I used a lot of her herbal scents and think I'll just let them sell out then see what's popular when they do.

  5. I have about that much left myself. I was wondering if I could throw it in the yard for bird food. I tried mixing with the 415 I have now, good stuff, but just didn't work. I have given up and going to pitch it, Don't even like to make tarts with the stuff. I already have about 400 lbs of other waxes I could use for firestarters or what ever. Seriously do you think I could feed it to the birds, it is a shortening?

  6. I use 3 different maple scents for my Maple Walnut Crunch, one was from WW's and I had to find another. In my tarts this combo lasted for days and was a best seller. Well made with the Chestnuts and Brown Sugar instead of Maple Walnut form WW's and it is a winner. So far 24 hrs straight in my electric warmer, 40 watt bulb. I can still smell it and it is yummy.

    Also got Sex on the Beach, been looking for one I thought smelled good. Well I love this one. It's fruity smelling and a strong thrower in soy tarts. Don't know about lasting, yet. Was strong for about 8 hrs and turned off. Will test another day and see how it is for # of hrs. Has a very strong cold throw too.

    Hot Butter Rum, this one is good, strong thrower and last. Good seller this Christmas season.

    Oatmeal Raisin Bread, love this smell but not throwing well. Not fair test cause the wick it way too small. This scent has a ever so slight spice scent. I want this one to work.

    I did not want another supplier and only tried this one because of the Hot Butter Rum. I have more time to test now and am going to add this supplier to my main list. Thanks for the reviews.

    My main seller is tarts so that's what most of my reviews are in.
