Shout out to Todd! He was wonderful!

@debradistler4351 Ай бұрын

Would CS ever consider adding other wick series such as CDN and HSP? These both work good with this wax.

@candlescience Ай бұрын

No immediate plans just yet but we are always testing out new and different types of wicks so the line will likely expand!

@stevechappellie904 Ай бұрын

Great class on your new wax. Thank you so much gang! Loved having Mr. Lab Manager Sir talking to us as well.

Best live yet! I learned so much, like to trust the scientist!

I’ve been testing this wax with scoopable/squeezable wax melts. So far, it’s been great. I did get zero hot throw on the 1st and 2nd day(which was expected) on the 3rd day though it completely filled my joining kitchen and living room area. I’m hoping it’ll be even stronger over the next few days.

How is the cold/ hot throw compared to:❤ Igi 6046 and Mp117 ?

@CarmenRhodes1967 Ай бұрын

Temp is 131 and pour at 170 vive versa from soy wax 464

I only use coconut apricot wax. I am glad you are carrying it now. If CandleScience would start carrying wood wicks my life would be complete, lol.

@candlescience Ай бұрын

No plans to carry them yet but I can't say never!

😢How on earth are yall out of your brand new 1lb wax product? Please get more of those in as soon as possible.

@georgianasalter Ай бұрын

❤can this mix with mp117? Or 6046? What CAN this mix with for melts? Why did you add soy to this wax instead of palm or hemp?

@candlescience Ай бұрын

It can be blended with many other waxes and you can definitely experiment! Beeswax or a harder wax may work blended in for melts but it may be easier to use a was designed for pillars and melts. Soy was chosen for it's performance and ease of use. Palm has sustainability issues and hemp can be tricky and more expensive to source.

❤is this wax skin safe?

@candlescience Ай бұрын

Based on the ingredients, it is likely skin safe but we did not design or test it for that so we can't say for sure. It is not certified for cosmetic use.

I love this wax. Very sleek and smooth tops with one pour. Adding color to it gives it a sexy appeal.

@allysonclyde Ай бұрын

What temperature do you recommend heating this wax til before you pour?

@candlescience Ай бұрын

If you plan on adding fragrance oil or essential oil, we'd recommend heating the wax to 185F and the mixing in the scent. The recommended pouring temp of this wax is around 170F.

@ardrionacoleman9922 Ай бұрын

I tried this wax with the recommended LX wicks and they didn't work for me. The candles didn't reach a full melting pool. Do you have any recommendations for this?

@claytonjames4779 16 күн бұрын

Just because a candle does not reach a full milk pool on the first burn or two doesn't mean it's failed. On glass and tin containers it will heat up as it burns down. On concrete containers you would need to wick up

@georgianasalter Ай бұрын

😊are there equal amounts of each of the wax?

@candlescience Ай бұрын

There is definitely more plant-based wax in this blend but the exact amounts and ratios are proprietary.

@priscillajimenez9419 Ай бұрын

Are we supposed to wick down with this wax, do you find that it burns faster? And will you ever carry CDN wicks? That would make candle science the only one place to get everything you could need lol

@jodymontez693 Ай бұрын

Wow, I was hoping this didn’t have paraffin wax in it😢 is there an alternative? Will you ever make this without paraffin. Health issues.

@candlescience Ай бұрын

Many coconut/apricot blends on the market will have some amount of paraffin wax in the blend to help stabilize it but there may be some on the market that use only soy! I'm so sorry that I don't have an exact replacement to offer, but if you'd like to try a coconut/soy blend wax, I'd suggest the 454 wax: www.candlescience.com/wax/golden-brands-454-coconut-soy-wax/

@claytonjames4779 16 күн бұрын

Do you want to find interesting about people that complain about paraffin? The fact that they're putting fragrance oil in their candles. Like, people want an absolutely pure natural candle and then dumped a bunch of petroleum refined fragrance products into it. Even a lot of the natural essential oil candles you find on the market BLENDED WITH FRAGRANCE OILS. There is nothing wrong with a small amount of paraffin. I can make a natural soy wax candle smoke way more than any other wax. Candles that smoke were not made properly. It has nothing to do with whether or not a candle wax contains paraffin and everything to do with the way that it was made

@tinadepew1930 Ай бұрын

Can we still say our candles are paraffin free because of the tiny food grade amount in the wax.

@candlescience Ай бұрын

If you will be using a wax with any amount of paraffin in it, it may be misleading to customers to say that there is none at all in your candles.

@tinadepew1930 Ай бұрын

@@candlescience I agree. The company that I was using for Coconut Apricot wax lists the amount of paraffin as a food grade amount. It that the case with yours or does it have a little more?

@ASMRyouVEGANyet Ай бұрын

So, another video of you not showing how to actually use it. Very annoying, I have these bags sitting in my room and idk how to go about using them.

@candlescience Ай бұрын

I can definitely get some video content out about using the wax bag! In the meantime though, the instructions are printed on the bag and it can be used in the microwave or in a double boiler. Whichever is easier for you!

@stevechappellie904 Ай бұрын

The wicks that I have tried have all gotten really small flames very quickly. Ive tried CDN, LX8's Premiers, Zincs

@candlescience Ай бұрын

Hmm, depending on the diameter of the container you're using, I'd recommend trying CD wicks, or possibly double wicking if the diameter is over 4".
