justajesuschick Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Oh, girl I already found it and then perused around there a bit! haha!My favorite form her is paradise. It is spot on for iced cold Ginger-Ale or even Bomb Pop Popsicles.I had a melt made with it going tonight and I had to turn it off-even in my open living room/kitchen/dining. It is delicious AND strong!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Which wax did you use? TCS?Speaking of a ginger ale type of FO, have you tried Peak' s Orange Ginger Fizz? To me it sure smells like ginger ale! (But now I suppose I'll have to try DS's Paradise, dontcha think?)Oh, girl I already found it and then perused around there a bit! haha!My favorite form her is paradise.

justajesuschick Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 NOT trying the TCS wax until the pellet versus slab mystery is solved!I use my stand-bys which is 4625 mixed with either 4627 or 4630.Paradise is SO good! Very sweet citrus-y and I totally get the effervescent notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the pellets..but tonight I found a new way to bust my wax and take my frustrations out...like a 2 year old...I slapped it against my wooden craft table...HA Felt pretty good!

HorseScentS Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ok, here's one of TCS wax users! First I'd like to thank HorsescentS for not mentioning who sent her the wax tarts; secondly, I am the one who sent her TCS tarts, lol. :laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samandkennasmom Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Oh how I wanna order some TCS wax but I'd really like you girls to figure it out! I have a little here and it's in the slab..what's a girl to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a little here and it's in the slab..what's a girl to do?Melt it, add FO, let it cure and pretty sure you'll love it! Nearly every FO will throw in this baby:grin2:Pita 4294, let us know your results between the two versions, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm pretty sure she means "The Tart Blend" is the good one. They have a container blend which is the 1st wax listed on their page, we tried & it wasn't very good.The 2nd wax listed is the one you want:Tart Blend. The 3rd listed is their Votive/Pillar. Perhaps they have some left in the slab form & that's why some get slabs & some pellets. Maybe Ravens will see this & correct me if I'm wrong & help you understand.Did you used to receive slabs? I am trying to figure which is the one people have had great success with and which is the newer/unexpected form. Can you help me understand? Thanks!

Maybe Ravens will see this & correct me if I'm wrong & help you understand.I was getting the idea (perhaps I am misunderstanding) that some were having success and some were not and that COULD somehow be tied to the wax being in one form or another. I would love to know if I am reading that in here or misunderstand that. I was waiting until Ravens could test the different form to see if all was well or if she was going to have a discussion with the owner.So, I got lost on whether some people were ordering waxes #1 and #3 thinking they got what some have great success (tart wax) or if it really is a matter of a change to wax #2 and all have been ordering the same thing.How is that for confusing?? haha!

ChandlerWicks Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yep, confusing! That's what I thought also, some had ordered the wrong wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie353 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'd be happy to give it to you. Right now it is in a bag for a fundraising garage sale but my friend has not picked the things up yet so let me know and if I still have it, it is yours.I'd not say that the bulb is right under the dish in my Scentsy warmers so maybe that is the difference.Thank you so much. I will PM you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Not trying to be all Braggedy Ann or anything, but I have had Blackberry (Daystar) going in my bathroom burner for 3 days now, and it's still pumpin out some great HT! My Bath is about a 14x16, so it's a good size room, and the burning is a punched tin style, with a 25 watt bulb. It certainly isn't as strong as it was on day 1, but you can still smell when your about 5 or so feet from the door!! I'm ECSTATIC!!!!

jeanie353 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Me too! Maybe a call to TCS is in order. This is what Ravens said way back on page 1 or 2 of this thread:The slabs I know for sure are exactly the same wax I'm accustomed to; I cannot say positively that the pellets are also the very same wax, because although I've had no complaints and the tarts I made with the pellets seemed to perform as well as the slab, I did not make that many before I ran out of the pellets.However, I just ordered a case; will see what I receive, and will post here. If I receive a box of pellets and they do not perform as well as my slabs, there shall be a "Come to Jesus" meeting with Loren:tiptoe:But she received slabs so we still don't know.

Ravens Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I am pi--ed right off. Tried the pellets - NOT performing to my satisfacton. Sent an email to TCS and asked to honestly tell me if there is a difference and why they felt the need to go to pellets instead of slabs (slabs weren't hard to cut, there are waxes out there that are much harder). Anyway, think I got an answer? Nope. That was a week ago.Sent the email again, asking the same question. What did I hear? Crickets, that's what! Now, call me paranoid, suspicious, etc. etc., but wouldn't such non-response make you wonder? Question now is: what to do to get the slabs again? That was THE best wax for me. If anyone has a slab, I would consider sending it to the lab. I am afraid I will have to start from scratch again :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Oh, and didn't one of us contact Loren about the pellets? If so, what did he tell you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country bee Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Raven,I e-mailed them and asked,are the pellets the exact same as the slabs,I told them I needed a consistant wax that I could count on.The answered-they are the exactly the same wax.So I waited to hear from you before I ordered.

justajesuschick Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I was hoping that you'd find them exactly the same as the slabs and then another bonus would be the ease of pellets.A buddy here is sending me some of the pellets and I plan to try them blended with some other waxes.

jeanie353 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 No, no....it can't be different. We are all right smack in the middle of testing this mysterious wax. What kept throwing me is they would send out slabs and/or pellets. In the back of my mind it was nagging me that if they changed the formula, why did they not change it all instead of some.I think a phone call is in order. I can't call tomorrow...getting a tooth pulled but provided I can talk Tuesday I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 May sound crazy, but I'm here telling myself that perhaps it is my nose that is at fault. I have given samples to my testers but have yet to hear back from them, so please everyone don't take my review as gospel truth, lol. My nose is telling me the HT isn't as strong as what the slabs were giving me. Jeanie, exactly what I've been thinking.... why some slabs and why some are sent out as pellets? Something is not adding up here, kwim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Maybe when they pour the slabs, those that don't look perfect are turned into pellets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'd like it if he could send you a slab AND pellets and let you test side by side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ky-sam Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi I have been using TCS wax for awhile started with slab form and since they have carried the pellet form that's what I have used or I should say that's what I have got. I was told by laurens sister that slab and pellets was the same. That where they get it from for some reason sends it either way. I have never noticed a difference between the two. In fact Saturday I picked my daughter up from a birthday party and my daughter came running to the car and told me I had to come in her friends house, So I go in and my daughter points out a warmer and a box of tarts that I made (My stuff is in a shop so I don't know who buys them) Her mom begins to tell me that she puts only half of my tart in her warmer (2 ounce portion cup) and fills her house! Then for the question about how the scent last after sitting for awhile. she had my Butt Naked (the candle makers store) LOVE his butt naked! It was from summer! And Strong! she started passing the tarts around and they all raved about it and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
