It seems I’m not the only one having some trouble with my hot throw. Years ago I made candles with Paraffin Wax never had this problem. I’ve done so many candles that I’m getting low of my fragrance. Also the looks of some of the candles not very pretty. Now more of my wax melts turned out very well. Also my problem is I purchased all my candle supplies from a lady that was getting out of the business, now I can’t find a wholesaler near me the one I was familiar with has closed. Don’t wanna waste anymore money on supplies that isn’t working. And if I’m not even a little happy with my candles that I’ve made refuse to even try and sale and for the few that have turned out I’ve given them as gifts are praying that the people that gets them likes and shares my information to help me promote my business. Now I’m feeling like I’m spinning my wheels
I really need someone to help. Thanks, Kim

Hi Melissa,
I just wanted to add another really good U.S. supplier to your list. Candlewic.com has a great selection of wholesale candle making supplies, including soy candle waxes and fragrances. There service has always been great. Give them a look as well.

Thanks!

Hello Melissa

Love your website and useful information. I tried making almost 30 candles but still no nice hot scent throw. I’m really frustrated and hope you can help. After many testings, I choose Golden wax 464 (Want to try Enchanted Lite but since I’m based in Singapore and it’s hard to order 5 lbs in US as trial) and Eco wick / HTP. Have tried many different fragrance oils from The Flamming Co., Just Scent, Giuvadan (Switzerland), Mane (France), eBay and other candle websites…. It all makes me disappointed. I melt the wax at 113-118F temp, add FO at 180-185F pouring at 100F. Actually I have tried to add FO with lower temp or follow its flashpoint, tried from 5% to 12% FO, tried wick up and down, cure the candles for over a week, all failed, the hot scent throw is still too weak!!!! Before I try other supplier (delivery cost is extremely expensive), I really want to know if I’m missing anything. Melissa, can you please HELP me?

Thanks a lot and have a good weekend!

Vivian

In reply to Lisa.

Hi Lisa! Sorry for the super late reply! 🙁 I do have Candlewic listed on my downloadable suppliers list, but on this article I only listed a few suppliers that I had heard a lot about from others or ones that I have used myself. I do believe I’ve heard good things about Candlewic in the past and they have been around for quite some time, so I don’t think you made a mistake starting with them. I’m sure you have started making your candles by now, what is your experience with the supplies you’ve recieved so far? I hope everything is going well! 🙂

Hi Melissa! Thank you for this amazing website and all your guidance. I see you give suggestions for some candle making suppliers online but there is no mention of candlewic.com. It will be very helpful for me to know if there is a reason you don’t mention or use them or if its just that you don’t know of them and their prices? I’m really new to candle making but I’ve always liked the idea of making candles, and I’m starting my own business in this industry. I had a very small investment budget cause I don’t have a job at this time, so I’ve been doing a lot of research over the last week and that’s how I found you (thank God). Based on my price comparisons and poor knowledge of candle making I had already placed an order of supplies before I found your site. Now I’m wondering if I started with the wrong supplier 🙁 The order and is already on its way :/ Your advice is greatly appreciated 🙂

I make 16oz mason jar soy candles. I use GW464 wax with eco 10 wicks. I’ve tried different suppliers for scents and have the same problem. Wonderful cold throw, but not always good hot throw. Should I change my wax, wick size or which supplier has the best FO?

Hi!

I am just about to start making soy candles! Do you know any good suppliers of fragrance oils in Europe?

Thank you!

I have been making candles using GB464 and vanilla fragrance oil from Candlescience with no issues for several months. However, recently I have been having issues with the fragrance oil “sweating”. I am melting the wax to 190, adding the oil at 185, stirring for 2 minutes then pouring at 150. The oil doesn’t appear on the top until 2-3 days later and it’s usually with the vanilla scent, but it has happened with a few others. The temperature in the room is between 70-73 when I pour. I am at a loss as to what’s happening – any suggestions?

In reply to Natalie. Hey Natalie I to use that brand of CB=XCEL Wax and I have had no problems with it. I heat to 185-add fragrance around 175-180 then after I stir for 2min I mix my color. I Also pour into my container around 110-115 and I have no issues at all...another trick I learned to help from the side frost spots is to pre-heat my glasses before I pour my wax in. I hope this helps you ive been hearing a lot of mixed reviews about CB-XCEL but it works for me I hope this helps you
