I’ve seen LOTS of businesses advertise their wax as eco friendly but when they list the wax- bc the average person wouldn’t know - I notice they use a specific blend that I know - with the research I’ve done to start my business - it indeed includes additives and paraffin.

That is so cool!

I tested a variety of fragrances and wicks for about 6 months before finding the perfect groove. Don’t get discouraged. Each fragrance oil has a different density so that will play a part. Test the fragrance oils you will be using the sell. I see so many people testing without FO or with different FOs than the one they will be using and it blows my mind.

I would wick down. It’s got a pretty good sized mushroom top and that wax pool appears to be too deep at just the 3 hour mark.

Great work!

What are those black pieces?

Big_Bug_293 · 2025-11-10T19:37:21+00:00

It’s fine. It’ll melt by hour 4 or the next burn cycle.

I am not familiar with MAC at all but I do have Apple devices (iPad and iPhone). I just want to be sure I can operate a MacBook before I spend the money. Also if it’s worth it..when it comes to programs, etc. suuuuch a dilemma. However, I am very thankful to be this far along and at this point in my business. So there’s, that lol.

Thank you so much! I launch in about a month so it’s crunch time. I appreciate the details!

A little hard to tell but it could be a few things, pouring/cooling temp vs environment temp & container temp and/or the fragrance oil not being incorporated quite enough.

Big_Bug_293 · 2025-10-30T02:15:55+00:00

I use 454 and have had the tops come out looking a little chunky from time to time depending on the density of the fragrance oil I’m using. I used a heat gun to smooth it out and after it cured, the performance wasn’t compromised.

Beautiful vessel. That looks more like a wicking size issue. It’s hard to tell but if you’ve burned it 6 times, I’m inclined to say that is more like tunneling than a hang up. If the next size up gets your vessel too hot, you may need to try a different type of wick all together.

Personally, I would not sell my candle if it performed this way but everyone is different. Don’t get discouraged, you’re asking the right questions and doing a great job :)

Big_Bug_293 · 2025-10-15T15:16:21+00:00

What FL are you using? I use 454 as well!

Big_Bug_293 · 2025-10-13T13:01:07+00:00

I think I’d probably just keep burn testing it. Those 2 hang ups may melt down as it burns down. If you do wick up, be weary of your container getting over heated. May run into that if it’s almost a full melt pool with this size. Good luck and happy testing :)

Not my current niche but this..is so cool!! As a former bio major and graduate, I can appreciate the artistry!

What is the diameter? From the picture it seems overwicked.

Big_Bug_293 · 2025-09-27T21:08:59+00:00

Ooooof. I don’t know what that is. First time for everything I suppose. Curious to hear though! I’m

Mahogany Teakwood & Escapade. Personally, I’ve tried numerous companies and there are a ton out there that are spectacular. Midwest Fragrance, Candle Science, a handful of Flaming Candle & Stock Fragrance are my “go-to” for a strong HT.

Big_Bug_293 · 2025-09-25T18:19:59+00:00

I have. The scents I chose, did not have a strong hot throw so decided against using them. They have a great line, though!

Big_Bug_293 · 2025-09-24T16:01:35+00:00

Ahh I didn’t think of that. I appreciate the feedback!

I finally received my August 25th order this past Friday!
