This video is, by far, the BEST, MOST INFORMATIVE AND DETAILED VIDEO EVER! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I’m a forever fan!!!
Great video! It was so informative and straight to the point. You just took my anxiety to start my candle business down a few notches …. definitely subscribing 😊💕
Did you start your candle business already? And if so, how is it doing?
This is the best and most informative video I have found on candle making! Thank you for doing this.
Thank you got this video, so informative , new to candle making and have been using coconut apricot wax, with wood wicks at 12 percent fragrance load. I was getting minimal hot throw despite a good cold throw, and I was on the verge of throwing in the towel! Excited to step down my fragrance load and see me results! Thank you 🙏🏽
I provide personalized candle care and beautiful thank you cards that are tailored to the unique needs of wooden wick candles.😊
Your making process is very detailed and simple.
So excited to see you uploading videos!! Can’t wait to see the next one!!
Yay! It’s super exciting 😂 I’ve been meaning to start this for forever. ♥️
Hawthorn Company in excited for you!! 🙌🏾 I’ve been wanting to start a UA-cam channel for years and have yet to do so!! I uploaded a few videos years ago and haven’t posted anything else ever since. 😂😭
@@lilcuttie44 LOL girl just jump right back into it!!
Best in-depth video I’ve seen in a long time. I never knew there was a calculator thank you so much for your wonderful information.
Glad it was helpful!
I had no idea that less is more when it comes to fragrance oil in wooden wick candles! I’ve been making mine with 12% and was getting barely any hot throw and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Thank you!!
Oh yes! 12% is great with cotton but my throw is stronger with wood at 7-9%. Apparently clogging your wood wick with FO is a real thing lol. It was a frustrating and expensive lesson to learn 😂
Thank you so much for the answer on why on God's green earth I couldn't get a hor throw!!!🙌
OMG!! Same here, I did not know this method as well and I was getting really frustrated with not getting a good hot throw. I was doing a 12% as well. I was like what in the world is going on?? Lol...so I will try maybe 8 or 9. Thank you!
i love the clean aesthetic. so well detailed thanks for sharing !
The formula was very easy to follow. I will try it. I will follow you. Thank you Susan
Oh my goodness. I did not know about the heat component. I did not let any of my candles wax get to 200 degrees. Oh well. Thank you for this video! Such great simple information.
Wow. I always learn new things from you! Tqvm for sharing
Excellent video Jessica! really nice, well prepared, organized, images etc ..congratulations!
I appreciate it 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Awesome video Jessica! Very informative AND it's all visually bEEautEEful, your tools! I want to upgrade mine soon lol I have the typical starter stuff but using pretty tools adds a little extra something to the experience of candle making! Looking forward to future videos.
I agree! I feel a little bougie everytime I make candles and it’s a great feeling 🤣. You should totally upgrade when you get the chance ♥️
This was an awesome tutorial! Is there a reason why the wax wasn’t filled closer to the top?
This was an excellent presentation for beginners. Thank you.
nice video thanks, hey turn the brightness down on the camera so your skin looks natural. if the background is to dark after doing this try adding a light for the background. good job and I learned a lot.
I loved the video and again your aesthetic. Can you do a video on measuring 3-4 different FO to create your own blend? I can do equal parts easy, it's when I try doing the math for two equal parts and the other two wanting lower amounts lol if that makes sense.
Yes absolutely that makes perfect sense. Ironically enough I struggled with this too lmao I had to figure out the math for it first, especially when converting drops to percentages when testing out small tester blends first. I’ll definitely include that into a video!
Wow... This is really excellent! Ty
Wow that’s great info! Nice and simple!
That's for info were did you purchase the vessels I didn't see 3.5 inc diameter you mention I saw 2.something
Beautiful video thank you so much, i might have to change my whole candle making ideas now!
Thank you for watching! Happy I could help ❤️
Great video! Congrats! Would love to see a video on how your photograph your work. The images are beautiful :) That would make a great video!
Thank you! Will do! I need to take some product shots for my website so I’ll do that video soon ❤️
This was so helpful, thank you so much!!
Hey Jessica 🙂 Why do you use a .75 vs the .625 WW shows in their tutorial? Just curious
Thanks what size vessels are those
very informative, can't wait to switch waxes this one is one I def want to try.
You’ll love it! The other ones are good too (soy bliss & coco soy).
Omgg this video helped me out so much !!
Yay!! I’m so glad
A really great video
Thank you so much for this tutorial! One question, how did you figure out how many ounces of total product per container? Did you just get it from the manufacturer website where you got your vessels?
Does 9% fragrance oil give off a strong scent? I like a strong scented candle.
Best Video!!! Thanks 💗
How you get the wax number?
What a great video!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Well done!
Subscribing…thank you for this video.
Thanks for sharing. How does the coconut soy wax hold up during shipping in the hot summer months? How do you ship yours? Thanks.
I love your video
Thanks for sharing. Question do you hear your aura vessels before pouring wax?
Hi,
I don't know why but I could hardly hear you. Was there a sound problem?
Is this app on andriod? because i found something similar and its not looking like yours. Love and light
I have a question about using wooden wicks. In my experience, when i'm using wooden wicks, I've tried tube and normal wooden wicks, I find that my wax discolors after a burn. Does that happen to you too? This doesn't happen to my cotton wicks though. Let me know your thoughts. :)
Can you use this wax when making a massage oil candle
How do you avoid sink holes ?
I ordered the .03 x.625 for coco soy way... do you think that will work for the aura vessel?
It should work in theory. I also like the .02 crackling booster wicks with coco soy too. Pick up a sample pack if that wick doesn’t work out for you.
love the tutorial, so thorough! I have a question, how long do you burn your candle before you achieve a full melt pool for that size vessel? thank you!
3-4 hours but 4 hours is ideal. These vessels taper to 3” at the bottom so it’s better to have a slow melt pool at the top because the vessel gets smaller at the bottom
@@HawthornCompany Thank you, do you recommend using .02 booster wick .75? I think I’ve been doing it all wrong, thinking that I should achieve a full melt pool in 2 hrs with this size vessel when I’ve reached a full melt pool in about 3-4 hrs. Thanks again!
If you’re using virgin coco soy or coco apricot then yes a .02 booster .75 in either crackling or whisper would be perfect. Some oils may need a .625 though, just depends on how hot it burns
@@HawthornCompany Thank you!
I have. 04 x .5 booster wick with this same vessel on its way. Do you feel like that will be an adequate wick? I burn that in a similar sized vessel so adjusted my measurements to the .04 booster wick x .5 and now worried after watching this!
Mic quality is off on this one. Idk if its just me though.
Yes it was, that was my fault when I was exporting lol. It’s fixed in the next video
Is it just me or is the volume on this video really low?
It is, the audio got messed up as I was exporting. I plan on remaking it soon
What’s the diameter size of your vessel?
I’m using coconut soy wax with a 3.3” diameter vessel and unsure which wick to use? 03.625 whisper booster is smoking.
Go down to a .02 whisper booster wick .625 instead
Also try decreasing your oil to 8% or less if you haven’t already
Hawthorn Company thank you so much! I’ll try it now. Is the only difference between whisper and crackling the noise level or does crackling emit more heat than whisper?
Sorry I never saw this question, whisper burns cooler and softer than the crackling wicks
Ain't heard nothing you have to talk louder are something wrong with my phone do any one no how much wax she measure what size vessel jar that is
Yes, Can't hear a word you say sorry.
Ugh yeah, the audio is too low. It sounded fine on my iPad while I was editing it and when I uploaded it, not so much lol. I’ll fix it for future videos, sorry! ♥️
@@HawthornCompany Awesome can not wait to watch it! Thanks:)
I cant hear what your saying
You are very soft spoken. Could you maybe place your mic closer to your mouth?
Your math is wrong. To subtract 9% from 12. You multiply 12 x. 09 = 10.92.
Your volume sucks.
So helpful! What size wick are you using? Is this the aura vessel? Thanks 😊
So quietly spoken and generous with your information. Thank you so much.
I cannot wait to watch your next video. Thank you Jess for this video. Really Great to know now that our Chandlers have a coconut wax channel on UA-cam
Next video should be available in a week ♥️ and yes I love coconut lol none of this 464 stuff haha.
Thank you so much! Newbie here and I appreciate the information! I'm curious to know if you would add colors to the luxury wax and at what temp. Thank you❤
Great video, but the sound is very low and I could hardly hear you even when the volume was on 100.
Ugh I noticed that. I’ll fix it for next video. Audio is my nemesis apparently
Whew! I was wondering if it was just me
I love your voice 🥹you’re so sweet and thorough. God bless you
what temp do you add your fo?
those vessels!!
Right? Too bad they are one of a kind 😩😭
If I’m using coconut apricot or coconut wax I should always add the fragrance at 200 or 180-190
Yes! It’s the same for every coconut wax, as long as the main ingredient is coconut ♥️
Wonderful Video, and thank you for posting your resources! Extremely Helpful!!!
You’re welcome! Glad to help ♥️
Thanks for sharing this! It’s been really insightful
You’re welcome! Glad I could help
Hi! I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing what size wooden wick you use for the Aura vessels from Wooden Wick Co. I’ve been having a hard time finding the right wick for them and would love any help! Thanks!
It depends on what wax you are using, and your fragrance oil.
Coconut apricot créme .02 crackling booster .75 with 8% fragrance
Virgin coco soy 02 whisper booster .75 with 8% fragrance
Pure soy wax (464, etc) I haven’t tried yet, but I’d imagine .04 crackling booster wick .625 with 8-10% oil
@@HawthornCompany Thank you so much for sharing!
Did you let it cure hun.
