jennhalcyon Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Years ago I started with J223. Over the years I have played with a number of waxes, but I always came back to it. I use zinc wicks because I double-wick and they burn best for me when double-wicking. I started adding soy to make the wax more opaque and pull away from the jar to cut down on the crazy J223 wet spots. Lately I have been feeling like my candles aren't as strong as they used to be, so I decided to try one with no soy. Guess what--knock-ya-down scent throw! Maybe the soy was too much for my zincs. I was really only adding it for appearance, so I'll take my scent throw and the wet spots that come with it!Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 J223 was the very first wax I used too and I always miss it for the same reason. The hot throw is awesome and also throws across a room fast. No other wax I have used throws like it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdaines Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 If this wax is such a good thrower then why did you stop using it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 If this wax is such a good thrower then why did you stop using it?Because when I switched to soy and palm my sales took off. Paraffin typically is a hard sell around here. Everyone wants soy. Now I am using palm which has similar qualities that both soy and paraffin have and the customers love it so thats why I use it.

morethanrubies Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I tried and tried with Palm and could never get it to work When I did get it to burn (even though it tunneled like crazy and the flame was 3 feet high LOL) it did have excellent throw. Wish I could have gotten it right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
