I started making candles about 4 years ago. I have never used any other wax. It looks great and has amazing hot and cold throw. I heat to 200, add color at 180, fragrance at 170, pour at 160. Watched a video of a candle co and decided to go with her info…happy I did. Use CD wicks and wooden. Love my candles (mostly make for friends and family)….yes I’m one of those perfectionist that lets wet spots drive me crazy! Loved your video!!

Too cute seeing your kitty in the background :)

Jeff... i cant wait to see the follow up to this!!! PLEASE ;)

I love, love, love Joy wax!!

I really like joywax. Compared to 464 this wax performs much better. it is more of a mess, as far as sticky than 464 flakes, but the performance of joywax is superior.

Thanks for the video and I love the special guest, checking out what's going on.

I love this wax. I recently had a house fire. None of my waxes were affected, but the clean up crew threw it away. As well as my fragrance oils. 😔 I have to start all over again. But this is one wax I will be purchasing again. It's great!

Thanks Jeff! I was hoping you would do a video. I stared with a 10lb slab and LOVE IT!!! I just ordered a full case on yesterday and can not wait to get it.

Thank you for your videos♥️ I just ordered the NG joy wax kit.. I’m gonna add candles to my business... and I’m glad you said the wood wicks worked great with it!!! I personally love the wood wick candles... plus I just found your videos... so thank you I’m a newbie candle maker♥️♾♥️🔥

Hey Jeff, I've been playing with Joy wax since I started. I use a CD wick. I'm like you I dont care about glass adhesion but NG recommends adding crisco oil if its something you want. I heat to 200 add color at 170-175 add fragrance at 165-160 and pour. Works best for me. I love this wax for everything!!! Even clam shells. Though I usually just use the cups to sell.

Thank you so much for reviewing this wax!! Please post more updates as you continue to use it!! ;^)

Wow I love these in depth wax reviews of yours. As a newbie, I’m learning so much about the qualities of different waxes. And learning what to pay attention to when I do my own testing.

❤️👏👏so happy I found this video . Thank you Jeff for this video.. My first test was not a great success

Boo boo kitty lol so precious. It always cracks me up when she video bombs

Thank you for your review! I’am a new to candle making. Based on your review, I purchased this wax along with NG pillar of Bless wax! Made clamshell wax melts and love them! After curing, the CT and HT was amazing!

I can’t wait to get my joy wax and pillar of bliss🤗🤗. I should have started with them. I just ordered 5 16oz fo from them. Love nature’s garden! Thanks for the video😊

I love using joy wax. I usually get some wet spots but I'm going to try pouring at a little lower than I normally do. I usually pour around 155-150. So glad you tested this!!!

Love your reviews! Thank you for all the testing and tips!!

Your cat cracks me up 😂😂😂 Great video!!! Can’t wait to see the results of all ur testing.

Love the video can’t wait for more reviews on the joy wax.

Here from Reddit , loved your story(s) keep on being awesome best of luck to you and your family.(subbed)

Love this wax! I've noticed that I did need to wick down, especially with the CD wicks. I've been a little hit or miss with their dye blocks...the purple didn't turn out good for me. I do feel like their oils are a little weaker than CS, so I use a higher % so I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on their overall oil performance.

Thanks Jeff, great review. I love Joywax but not available in the U.K. sadly

I'm so happy u did this video. I work with this wax and I love it, so I'm interested in hearing your feedback and thoughts on it. I'm very excited to see more testing with their fragrances.

Love joy wax. Thanks for the testing

Thank you so much for these informative videos! I looked through several of the comments (not all of them) to see if anyone asked you to test 444? I would love your input on the 444. My 6006 arrived today and I’m excited to get started. Thank you again!

Glad you reviewed Joy Wax. I just purchased a 10 pound slab and can't wait to try it.

Can't wait to see your results. Would love to see you test their wow wax also 😊

It's not made for clamshells at all. It's mostly for containers 😁 their pillar of bliss is what i use and they recommend for clamshells

i started using joy wax from the get-go and have loved it ever since I will say that when using it you def have to find the perfect wick because with a wooden wick i tried it did not like it compared to my usual hemp wick..

This was the first wax I ever used. Still do for my crafters candles. I guess the first wax Zaza really beeswax, but they are a personal choice in our home. I have a young son who is Autistic. I have moved forward with a luxury line and I use Wooden Wick Co. for my luxury candles.

Thank you Jeff for replying

I love Joy Wax!! Was introduced by @sunshinesoapamdcandleco last year!!

👍 Thank you Jeff!

Quick question. What size wooden wick did you use in that glass container your holding? Medium 020 or 030?

Would like to see the coconut wax, what you think. Thanks

Please test pillar of bliss wax from nature's garden. I would love to see your take on it.

I love nature's garden, haven't used their joy wax yet, but I use their soy and palm and since I'm primarily a bath and body company the fact that I can have interchangeable fragrance oils for all the things makes my brain happy

I use this wax as well and it works well for me also

I absolutely love this thx Jeff. Can we get a video on tips and tricks on hot to be successful at using 464 wax. Everyone says it’s hard to master (I see why) but no one says what to look for how to improve scent throw or signs to look for etc

Thanks so much for the video. I appreciate you sharing all of your knowledge. I’m excited to try now. I’ll be using this today for the first time and I’m also interested to know why you cooled it to 140 then reheated to add the fragrance.

could you show how you clean your candle make items,

😆 I call them Jell-O shots and I never thought of using a ice cream scoop. All this time I’ve been using a knife.

Hi Jeff, Will you being doing a follow up for this wax? I cannot find a wick that I do not get a lot of soot & mushrooming from?

Have you found the best pouring temp????

Really happy with this wax! I love it!

Thanks Jeff, I’m going to be trying this now. You’re the second person to give it really good reviews that I’ve watched. Also did you ever try the clam shell melts in your melter? If so how was the hot throw? Thanks again for sharing!

Hi Jeff! I know this may seem like a crazy comparison, but I was wondering how the Joy wax compares to the waxes from Wooden Wick Co. Coco Apricot Creme specifically.

I loved the wax too.

I like the joy wax characteristics overall but still haven't found a wick/wax combination I'm 100% happy with. I've used the CD wicks as recommended by NG and I get mushrooming wicks, black smoke and average hot throw. I'm following NG exact instructions, I would be pleased to see how your testing comes out. Thanks again.

Great review! I've been using Joy Wax and love it. My issue is the right wick. I use 9oz straight jars and the CD they suggested. The wick gives off a lot of sutt which i didn't like at all. I'm currently testing wood wicks. I'd like to see your review of the different wicks. Also, did you let your candles cure? I've read 3 days and no cure time for Joy. Which did you do?

Hello, I wonder if we could make the blend manually? Like mixing soy and paraffin 52:48 by ourselves? Does it work? Thank you!

Hi Jeff, I'm not having any luck with getting a strong hot throw. I'm using the joy wax and the CD 12 wicks along with following all directions to the T. I'm so discouraged... I would like to thank you for recommending the red rtv, I no longer have issues with the wick moving. Lol Please help!!!!!!!

Would love to try this! I can't find the link where are you got the ice cream scoop.? LOL That could really come in handy.

i loved joywax but all of a sudden i lost my HT. i swtiched to another wax. but when i used joy wax i used the hemp wicks as well.

Hi Jeff! Love your videos 😍 Quick question. How long was the cure time for best ht for joy wax? Thank you!!

I love joy wax very easy to work with IMO. they recommend using Crisco can you do a video testing with different additives

Hey Jeff! I’m in your group on fb... thanks for posting this because I’ve been asking a lot about joywax and figured I’d give it a second try! Quick question... how long did you cure your joywax before testing for HT?

Hey Jeff!! I used the 1400 hemp wicks for my 4oz tin "for a tester candle". I burn tested it, first time burn was perfect. 2nd burn time "i did trim my wicks" but it left off a black smoke and the flames are huge.. :/ just ordered some CD to try so i can get my buisness up and running. Also, any suggestion for percentage of fragrance? 6% was ok but i want more alot more hot throw. Gonna test out 8% and see. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Oh man I probably did mine way wrong First time candler pourer here (today)🙋‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Made -drumroll- one 4oz candle with the joy wax and it seemed really easy I’ve heard some candle making horror stories. However I believe I screwed it up because my melting point for me was only 120F and my fragrance flash point was 134F… so I brought it up to 140F and then cooled to 130 and added fragrance. Stored for few minutes and then immediately poured into a tin. I did not warm the tin. I did not bring it to 200F🙆🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ I don’t even know how long to let Joywax cure for 🤷‍♀️ I’m terrible at directions I’m like whatever I’ll just do it my way… and then we know how that turns out 🤣 do you HAVE to bring it up to 200F?

I love this wax!

Jeff, what rating is necessary to withstand heat when using those shot cups?

Hey Jeff, do you prefer the 6006 over Joy wax and 464? I’ve used all but 6006 and I am not super excited about releasing my candles until I have the perfect HT. Also I’ve only used The Flaming Candle Scents and I know I should venture out with more FO companies. All of this testing is getting pretty expensive lol. Pleas help!!

where can i find that particular ice cream scoop?

Hi, Jeff. How strong is the smell compared to 464 and 6006?

I heard from several different people that joy wax is the best wax to use

Did the dye change the HT?

You mentioned the different hot throws with various wicks. What was the cold throw like?

Hey jeff quick question; did you have any frosting issues with the red colored candle or clam shell that you made in this video?

Could you review the TW-30 soy tart wax from California Candle Supply please??

Hi Jeff! I like using NG Joy wax occasionally. My favorite is still 6006. But I looked for the link to the ice cream scoop that you have but didn’t see it? Where did you get it from? Thanks so much! 😇

Hello there, thanks for video, where do you buy your jars, can you suggest me couple places pleaseee? I would appreciate it.

What size wicks would you suggest with a 3 1/2 H X 3 W glass jar? Which wooden wicks do you use? The company?

Can you do joy wax with wooden wicks

I think I missed something; why did you heat it back up to add the fragrance? Thank you! :)

I am a amateur candle maker, that takes extreme care and pride in my candle making. This may be a dumb question but isn’t paraffin wax toxic?

What wood wicks did you use?

The only wax for me

I’m having a heck of a time getting a good Cold and Hot throw from this wax. Followed directions to a T and also played around a bit but have yet to find anything that works. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m new to candle making and chose this wax for its ease of use and smooth tops. But i’m getting very discouraged. The candles themselves look amazing but i basically finish with a wax paperweight. A lot of times you wouldn’t even know there is a candle burning in the room unless its in a small room with the windows closed. I ordered some wood wicks to see if maybe the wicks im using are not sufficient, although i am using wicks that are recommended for joy wax. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions yall may have.

can anyone explain how he wicked the 2 jars that he didn't put wicks in before pouring?

Hey! I know this is a really old video, but I'm wondering if you stuck with using Joy in your line? I've seen some post about potential fires from this wax, but I really like it. Any insight? Have you had issues with it? Thanks!

Can I have the link to where I can purchase the thermometer you use? I like how it clips to the pot and doesn’t touch the side!

Where did the whole joywax explode come from?

Did you have luck with the CD wicks in the joy wax? I didn't have luck, but, am considering switching to wood wicks. Will try HTP & zinc as well. Also, I have a laser thermometer & am wondering if I should switch to one like yours.

Also why did u let cool then heat back up? Just asking.

Just purchased joy wax. Do you have to only use joywax fragrances? What if I have other candle fragrances or do I have to buy all new through them

Hey Jeff what temp were pouring? U added fo at 170 but u started pouring at a different temp, then added color. So i know the temp went low.

Have you tried cool method on this for scent throw?

I love joy wax I've been using it for almost a year with my candle making business. However any recommendations on what to do so the jars won't get so dark while the candle is burning from the paraffin wax in it?

New subscriber here. I am thinking of making my own candles and possibly taking it into a candle business. Can you tell me what makes up the Joywax. Thank you

Why are you swishing the wax while it cools?

A lot of soot in an 8oz jelly jar. Please with a cd8 wick. Scent throw was awesome. But the soot though is unbearable

What wax is best to use for shipping . I make candles & would like to send some to different states

The green containers what size wick did you use

How do you market this candle wax? ie what do you put on the labels?

I've made three batches of candles using this wax and each batch got sink holes near the wick. Any suggestions? I followed the manufactures recommend pour time and used the hemp wicks from nature's garden as well. Thanks!

How do you test a wick on a candle thats already poured? 🤔

How was the hot throw once you burned them?

Hi Jeff Standley what size wick did you use for the Lavana vessel?

What size is that wood wick?
