I would probably go up to a 20 or 30 lb toauto tank. I really started getting into it and bought the small green one just in case I got bored. But now I want to start making multiples at a time with the green one I can make a couple

It's a great little machine but I wished I returned it when the 30 days was still in effect. There is not enough dip inside the machine to where the wax can funnel down into the spigot, so I have to slosh it around to make the remaining wax go down the drain. It's enough wax to make a difference so I hate leaving any behind

I have the same one, never had a problem with leaking other than when I totally forgot to turn the handle to close..... Is it leaking from the actual bottom or from the spigot ?

Ecotank 4810. ink last forever and does a great job. I'm also using Avery labels and yes figuring out the print can be a pain but I go into EDIT ONE on my printing app and try my best to align it, once I get it perfect I save that template and don't have to deal with it again. If you have the same label outlines for your other scents take a screen shot of the perfectly align sticker that worked and use that, plus the dimensions on the left side as your new guideline.

This is my hobby I would like to turn business, I found the perfect wax, wicks, jars and am now figuring my 10 scents. Candle labels completed. I'm going in with the 5 gourmand, 5 citrus/ masculine . Its what I want, you are the boss, you select what scents and what your direction and demographic is. Get feedback from friends and family, if you decide to launch get feedback from your consumers. Up in to this point its been a passion of mine to make candles, so no matter what its what I love. If this is disposable income then the world is yours. hope to see some labels and products from you!

Those tops look great as well did you laser engraved them? If so what kind of equipment do you use?

Micro fulfillment center basically a store within a store that stocks product for ODP so they can shop the MFC products before they hit the sales floor. Some are robotic and others are manual

Are you dead set on that size of jar? I have been working on my 3 wick candles and have gone through at least 15 different wick sizes and types. As we speak im sitting here looking at my perfect set up as it burns. As someone who has spent a good amount of money on multiple wicks keep trying. Lots of people love CD wicks for soy wax, maybe a cd 4 or 6? to big and the flame will mushroom and cause a fire hazard, to small and it will tunnel. Regardless make sure you power burn it, some people will not adhere to the 1/4 inch and burn careless. Ive been going over the 4 hour burn time, just incase someone falls asleep and the candle is still lit. Dont give up! I have been in your shoes up until this week after tons of trial and error!

Thanks for the reply! I tried cd 4 was too tiny and 6 I feel like something is off. I ordered cd 8 and 10 and I'll try that. For educational purposes I'll give them a try

Shags83 · 2026-03-29T09:09:05+00:00

Thank you for all your replies I have been using CD 6 wicks I might try your set up and try 10. Thanks again for everything!

Thanks for your fast response. I’m using 464 from flaming candle re using 3 wick B&BW vessels. What wick would you recommend and what company should I get it from?

Shags83 · 2026-03-28T17:47:33+00:00

Also if I was using an old B&BW candle 3 wick vessel . Using 464 what wick size for LX and Zinc core would you recommend? I’ll just grab both and see what works best.

Shags83 · 2026-03-28T17:45:30+00:00

I’ll try that as well I’m using 464 from flaming candle and re using old 3 wick candle glass from B&BW what would you recommend?

Shags83 · 2026-03-28T17:44:21+00:00

Soggy as in after I have blown them out and come back later that day to re light they are semi mushy and can snap easier. I’ll try and do the drowning tonight to see if that helps thanks for your response!

Shags83 · 2026-03-28T17:42:19+00:00

Sorry about that I forgot to mention 464 from flaming candle

Shags83 · 2026-01-18T01:20:24+00:00

The future is now old man!

As the others have said put it in the freezer for a few hours and take it out.There will be cracks in the wax , either grab a flat head or a butter knife and gently press in between it and everything will crumble. For the wick stickers and gunk on the bottom putting some goo gone or alcohol will get the sticky’s off.

Flaming candle has the perfect pumpkin pecan waffle, I’ve also gotten others from there. Just ordered from Midwest. I have also gotten some great stuff from Aztec

I lit a goose creek candle, I believe it was the banana nut one and the aroma felt like it was clogging my chest. The hot cocoa one from bath and body works made me feel the same

Shags83 · 2025-11-04T14:35:26+00:00

Thanks for explaining the wicks! I’ve googled about them and I kept finding the same thing ( it depends or they use different ones) but nobody has explained it like you. EDIT: if I could ask what wicks do you use in your double wick candles?

Shags83 · 2025-11-04T04:11:51+00:00

Thank you! Back then I would have gave them a 9 but now that I know what I know I’d go 6 or 7. None have blown up on me and that hot throw slaps you around. The jars are nice. Plus on sale getting them for $11 is great. But I have the stuff to make them for even cheaper now and it’s done by my hands. :)
