I'm brand new at candle making and I started out at the maximum of 10% for the waxes I am using. I first started with Joy Wax from Nature's Garden. I recently have been using IGI 6006 and reduced the fragrance oil % to 8 - 8.5% in an effort to increase the hot throw. BTW I love your channel and have learned so much from you!

@@SexyChoclateThunder I don't think I lost anything by reducing the fragrance oil amount to 8%. I think both of my moves (both reducing the amount of fragrance oil, and also switching to 6006) DID increase my hot throw. 6006 has a little more paraffin than the Joy Wax and from listening to a few great candle making channels, including this one, I learned that might help. Like Erica mentioned in this video, fragrance oil is expensive and reducing it decreases the cost.

I use 6006 wax! I typically heat my wax to around 195-200 (because I use a presto pot and so when it comes out it cools down pretty fast! Sometimes to fast! Lol!) So typically 195-200 but I don’t add FO till 175. I don’t know if it’s because my apartment tends to run colder or what but I have never been able to get a good hot or cold throw when I added at 185. I’ve tried it with so many oils and not sure why but with my wax for some reason it just never seems to work! Again that might just be because I’m hot natured and so I keep my apartment fairly cool! 😂 And I typically use 10% but there are a few exceptions where the candles are just over powering at 10% and I’ll typically use 8% then! But I generally love really strong candles but sometimes it’s a bit to much ever for me! 😂

Erica, this was a very informative video! You did great and covered all the basics plus some extras. I like that you covered how you started with a larger percentage of fragrance oils, but discovered you could get the same fragrance quality smell when using a percentage or two lower and get the same result. It really does save you a bit of money! Especially useful with stronger fragrances. I do the same thing. There are a few scents I'd love to use and can't, because they just don't throw well and are weak. That really bites sometimes. Jill Gross

I'm struggling with informing my future customers about constantly trimming the wicks after each burn. My friend says that people aren't going to do it, because they don't have to with other name brand candles, which is true. How do I get around this?

Technically everyone should be trimming wicks, even with well known name brand candles. The truth is most people are just used to candles with large flames, soot, black smoke on the jars, etc and don’t think a thing about it. I remember looking at some of my old candle jars from name brand companies and they were BEAT up. Most people just don’t know that they need to be doing it. However if you inform everyone about it (I include a candle care card with every order as well as the warning label at the bottom) then at least you are trying to get the knowledge out there and doing your part as a business owner. One day it will be common knowledge to trim wicks on candles.... hopefully 😅
