Why do people think Soy is such a good choice for candles? Soy wax is processed and has a poor scent throw in comparison to other waxes. It’s not as bad as some candle waxes but I wish people would try other waxes! I’m so glad you picked RCX it silky smooth, and great with essential oils to use as a cream once burnt! I’d love to see how you use different wicks to help throw scent differently, and what you would recommend! 😊
Yes, definitely! I'm really loving RCX and like you said, it's really silky smooth 😊 I'm at a really good place now with my wicks so I could definitely do a video on that! x
Hey! Which one turned out with the best hot throw? 8% or 10%? Also, what % would you recommend in average for essential oils in soy candles? Thanks in advance =)
Thanks so much for these videos it is SO helpful, I’ve been wanting to start my own candle business and struggled with a few aspects of it but these videos have encouraged me and helped me a lot!!! Thank you
Hey! Thank you so much for watching. To find out more about the start of my candle making journey (hello side hustle?), checkout this video here: ua-cam.com/video/ttnJwVnGyxA/v-deo.html :)
It was so great finding you because I use as well rapeseed coconut wax and I hardly find people using this wax. I have some questions: 1.) how long do you leave your candles to cure? 2.) Is it important to put a lid on while the candle is curing? 3.) is there a big difference when you use EO/FO? 4.) Do you heat up your wax till the max or you find a point where its really good I am looking to start a candle Business with strong-smelling candles, Its so hard for me to find really how to get a good HT/CT.... Great video and thank you so much for the information
Hello! Of course. So I typically leave my candles to cure for at least a week for a good hot scent throw and I always do put my lid on just in case - I haven't tried it without really. You'll get a stronger scent throw from FO as they are just stronger than EO (check out my latest video on that), but it depends on what you want to use. FO are also cheaper too. I heat my wax to 60/65 (but you need to check what works for your wax anyway by checking with the manufacturer). Hope that helps somewhat xx
Thank you! Most supermarkets or kitchen retailers should sell them :) I believe mine is from Tesco. Otherwise, check out Amazon! You'll want to search for an electronic one x
Your videos are extremely helpful! I am new to the candle making world and was wondering since you are using a Rapeseed & Coconut wax blend or if you decide to use a Coconut Apricot wax blend do you still need a carrier oil ?
Thank you! It burns really well, actually 😊 and I always seem to get a nice smooth top. I'll film a video this weekend burning both candles and get it up! x
Hello 😊 I've never really experienced any burning smells with my candles. It makes me wonder what percentage of essential oils you're using? And also, if your essential oils are high-quality?
I am just starting a candle business. This was so helpful!! I have been researching why my candles don't have a strong smell.

Question tho, Candle shack do not ship to my address which is Atlanta smh. Do you know where else I can get the RCX from?
@@MsTamika23 Hey! I'm really sorry but I wouldn't know anywhere in the US - I think it's still quite limited here in the UK too x
I'm loving your videos! I find this video so relaxing and entertaining at the same time🥰
Thank you!
Thanks so much for the video, I've been making candles for a year now and still learning! Like the containers by the way.

This has been so helpful, where would I get the thermometer from please?

Hey where did you get the lollipop stick with the whole from?
Wonderful video! I use RCX too, I don’t get hot throw but do get good cold throw. x
How does this candle burn? This is my first time hearing about Coconut and Grapeseed wax. Wow 🤩 good luck with your journey
Thank you! It burns really well, actually 😊 and I always seem to get a nice smooth top. I'll film a video this weekend burning both candles and get it up! x
@@thecandlejourney2500 yayy thank you. ❤️
Where can I buy the essential oil and wax you used?💕🌸
I didn’t know you could use essential oils for candles
Hello there. I keep getting a burning smell when I use Rapeseed + coconut wax with natural essential oils. Did you have this problem?
Hello 😊 I've never really experienced any burning smells with my candles. It makes me wonder what percentage of essential oils you're using? And also, if your essential oils are high-quality?
@@thecandlejourney2500 ok thank you. will try the ones from candle shack
Hi! Was wondering what made you want to switch to cocorapeseed wax from soy :) thanks!
