Tony Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I am looking for a STRONG thrower, but aren't we all lol. I use Clarus Parasoy @ 1.5 oz FO per lb. I have tried Genwax and Peak and get great cold throw and no hot throw. Peaks surprises me because I usually get great hot throw with their oils and the reviews are great. I tried AH flower child love the cold throw but very faint hot throw. Anybody have a suggestion on who has a great hot thrower? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nursenancy Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I second NG's. I tried and never looked any further. I use it in soy candles and incense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Will have to let you know if I run into a supplier I like. I just ran out of the one I liked the most and it isn't carried any more by that supplier that I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thank you for the replies. I have never tried NG for FO. I'm going to have to check them out I know a friend of mine orders B & B stuff there and is pleased. Maybe I have just gonna spoiled by Nag Champa incense! I wanna walk in the room and really smell it. I wish someone would have picked up Tradewinds Katmandu fragrance. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthfriendly Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I like BCN Nag Champa in soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I personally like Bramble Berry the best...........very strong throw at .75 oz./lb. It's unfortunately a wicker upper, but well worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I use CS Nag Champa. My wholesale acct that sells incense says its spot on and sells a lot of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I am looking for a STRONG thrower, but aren't we all lol. I use Clarus Parasoy @ 1.5 oz FO per lb. I have tried Genwax and Peak and get great cold throw and no hot throw. Peaks surprises me because I usually get great hot throw with their ils and the reviews are great. I tried AH flower child love the cold throw but very faint hot throw. Anybody have a suggestion on who has a great hot thrower? TIAI can not remember where I read this so I can't give you a reference but maybe some others who know will chime in here: just like if you use too little FO you won't get good hot throw, isn't it also possible to use too much FO and that loses good hot throw? Like I said, I don't know the science behind that, and it seems counter to what you'd think would happen, but I picked that up somewhere. I mention that for your case because I thought the Clarus wax was a good thrower (better than 100% soy) and didn't need 1.5 oz to perform well.

TallTayl Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 If you warm the candle on a candle warmer (or a scoop of the wax on a tart warmer) does it throw? I have never had a Nag Champa not blow me away in soy at 1 oz PPO max when properly wicked. I have used all listed above except for BB. Could you have a wicking issue?

SliverOfWax Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Nag Champa from NG was one of the very (very) few oils I was happy with from them. The first time I made it, the scent stayed in my drapes, carpet, nose hairs....for a long time. I found CS's to be a little too sweet.Since I didn't buy anything else from NG, I migrated to Tony's, which has had so many management changes I'm not sure what it is these days:http://southerngardenscents.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18&zenid=qikkicpuf5f3iahsgfgbu94jl0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondcandles Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 CS is the best & strongest for me in soy...sell tons of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thank you for all of the suggestions. I think it may be a wicking issue as well. I have not tried it on a warmer I am going to throw one on a warmer a see what I get! You know I just recently got turned on to AH and I love their oils just got their Neroli and Lavender today and they smell awesome OOB! It seems like most of the ones I like are Patchouli blends.

Darbla Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I have not tried it on a warmer I am going to throw one on a warmer a see what I get!Be careful with those. A friend of mine had a container candle on a warmer burst. The wax in the bottom gets heated, expands, can't expand upward because of the still solid wax there, so it expands against the jar and bursts. I won't use them because I read of this issue repeatedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
