This is when you know you made it once you've made this purchase! nice job Wade
Lol. Thanks Lindsay!
Congratulations on manifesting this Wade! You deserve an applause. 🎉
❤️❤️ thank you
Oh, my goodness! How cool is this! I’m super excited for you and thanks for sharing this and inspiring all of us!
No problem
Congratulations Wade! It's fun to see your enthusiasm. Because my candle biz is just a yr old and currently a side gig to my full time 'real job,' I'm growing at a much slower growth rate than you. (Monthly totals vary wildly.) But I love seeing you charge forward into new discoveries of all sorts. That's my take away from this video (along with WOW, I didn't know there was such a machine like that!)
Goals!!! Congrats! I love your wick holders too!
Thanks!
🎉congratulations…just saw your YTV many blessings on your store front/warehouse 😊
You have inspired @ EB&NE SO MUCH!!! 😊 We are in a seed program and skies the limit. This machine will be in my pitch to investors! 💪🏾 Thank you 🙏🏾
What an amazing machine Wade!! Thank you for sharing I truly appreciate your videos ❤
No problem. Thanks for being here!
This machine is so cool! Thanks for the informative video, loved seeing the machine in action!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s awesome. Candle Goals!!
👌
So cool!!! Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome!
Now that's HUSTLIN! Nice work Wade!
I love those machines and I have been eying those for so long. :D

Hello Wade. Just starting making candles myself. Now that I have seen this modern miracle machine, I want one! Please keep doing what you are doing. Would like to see more videos of your machine in the future. (so I can drool over it)!!!!
Oh.... oh... I will definitely have it in more videos. 😉👌
wow........absolutely amazing Wade!!!!
Thank you kindly!
Sooooo awesome! Congratulations. GOALS!
🥰 Thanks Omayra!
You had me at the part that the machine knows when to stop pouring. This is definitely something to aspire to and is added to my scaling plan. And you're right. You can make lots of money but you can't get time back!
100% thanks Lauryn!
Congratulations on your new melter, just watching your pour into the jars is like a soothing silent asmr 😃
🥰
Keeping this in mind for future reference. This would help me have more time for making soap by getting my candles done at a faster pace. Thanks for sharing!
Not to overly excited you here..... but you can use this for bath and body products too. 😉 😬
I’m so happy for your success . Your the best utuber and I like your ethics. You deserve this and I’m so happy for your family . I hope they appreciate you !
Thanks so much Rose. Appreciate that! :)

Same! That's why I wanted to make the video. Glad you enjoyed it. 😀
Congratulations, you deserve it. Thanks for sharing

Thanks so much!
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 ❤️
🥰
So inspiring ❤
🤗
Awesome 👍 congratulations 🎉
Thanks!
Wow, just wow! I was laying in bed watching this and I had to sit up because I got excited with you. Just amazing and congrats. I just recently started and still in research and development and the double boiler method. Lol, so only pouring about 12 every couple of months. Thanks for sharing, you are a true inspiration and I’ve learned a lot from you!
Haha that's awesome. And trust me. I started the same way. Most of us do. ;)
@@BlackTieBarn thanks again Wade for all you do for the candle community! Maybe when I get a good product I’ll send for your review! 😀
That looks awesome
👌
I want to thank you I am just starting out and your video have helped me out.
Awesome! That's great to hear and I appreciate the feedback. Good luck to you! :)
Wow, that machine is amazing! I started making candles in March and have been using a very small presto pot. I've only sold them at craft shows and make a lot of testers and very small batches. So far this week I've only made 50, so very small scale over here. Oh, one day soon! 🙏That machine is now on my goal list!!
Started the same way. ;)
3 weeks ago I had 2 candles I had puchased that had enough wax left in both to make one candle. I decided to figure out how to melt candle wax to make the one candle. I am now watching every one of your videos and have just placed my first order for tester wicks and 1 oz sample kit now looking for tester jars. So that's where I am in this journey, and after seeing this video realizing that if you follow a few rules and learn the craft you could potentially be in need of that machine sooner than later. I'm hooked!
Oh wow. That's awesome Tom. Thanks for the backstop of how you got started. It's easy to one to jump into for sure. Gad to have you hear!
Amazing!! I've been on the cusp with looking into something like this. I pour about 200 candles a day. What a dream it would be to have my whole weekly pour down to a day with this!!
Absolutely! Especially if batching one event in large volume at a time
Damn!!! That is a slick machine!!!
👍😉
Congratulations on your new machine. Working smarter will help your body later.
💯
I can't answer your question at the end, as I'm still in testing stage but i think in 1 day, i can make up to 10 candles easy. I love this journey its so rewarding 💜🥰 Thankyou Wade for sharing this with us & congratulations are definitely in order 💜💜
No problem and thank you! :)
Wow, you and your business are on a rocket taking off for space!!!
You'll probably forget about the price of this machine over time as it adds to your quality of life.
SO IMPRESSED!
Thanks Cherly. Honestly... I have mostly already forgotten. Making this video reminded me. 🤣
That is awesome. Just helps other to add it in as a stepping goal.
💯 thanks Emily!
Welcome back 😊
Thank you.. but welcome back to what? Lol
omg.. manifesting this for my business within the next year or two!!!
❤️😁
Awesome machine!!!
It sure is!
Congratulations. I think it’s great that you made the leap to buying specialty equipment. What are you handling so much of everything in your business it’s nice to be able to buy something that’s gonna save retirement money
Lol. Exactly!
wow thanks for the video I didn't even know this existed.. good luck with your new toy!! 👍
Thanks!
Oh wow, what a neat machine! Congrats on your business growth, and getting such a cool machine!! Do you ever make it up to the candle store in Jamesport? They fill their candles in store and we love to go watch them fill their candles. I'm thinking this is that type of machine they use. Fascinating to watch.
I have not. But I'm sure it's probably same or similar machine :)
Congratulations Wade, that's the bomb .....you're going to need to make 1,300 candles in a day..that's awesome. Hats off to you
Thanks!
We love ours! It took us 6 months to get ours from when we purchased but we love it
That's awesome! I'm still getting to improve the dealing of scents to waste a bit less. Especially when using color. It's hard to get out.. lol
That is such a neat machine, didn't even know that was a thing! Now they just need to make a table top version haha ( We do about 200-250 candles a month and have been open since May 2022) Thanks for the info and video! 🔥
Thanks for sharing Alyssa! If you all make it down here sometime, bring some jars and try it out! :)
What an accomplishment!! I just started my business. Literally everything I've learned, I learned from you. You have a way of making the whole process understandable. However, I put ground espresso bean in a coffee idea. It lit well, smelled well...until it caught on fire! I wish I would have watched your videos before I caught a table on fire. Lol (laughing came in retrospect).
Thanks so much. And yep... i don't put anything foreign in mind that might catch fire
Amazing congrats
🥰
Hi Black Tie Barn, I am Ms.Erica, with Ms.Erica's Fragrance Candles & Chips. I would like to say very Nice Channel. You have become one of my Favorites. With this conversation, I wanted to say please, Be sure to keep us posted on the new Machine. It looks real Nice and I can see why you went that way. However, when you mentioned about maybe making changes to the recipe..I have to be honest that TOUCHED me. The one thing about Ms.Erica's Fragrance Candles & Chips is The Award Winning Recipe. I am sure with a machine that nice you will still arrive at one that is Nice to you. Sometimes we can get so lost in to making things faster and it sometimes touches what really has us in our position in the first place. I am working on packaging myself my recipe I have arrived. Keep us posted I am sure it will Turn out Amazing.
Hi! And thanks so much for the kind feedback. I will definitely post updates. :)
Much respect to you Wade. At the rate you going that price won't be a problem. Seems like you will get that money back in no time. Plus saves on time.
I would like something like that on a smaller scale. After pouring from the pouring pitchers your arms and hands gets to shaking.
Many blessings to you ❤
Thanks Tammie! Appreciate you. :)
Congratulations! I am no where near to where you are so it is the furthest thing from my mind lol, but I do appreciate you sharing what the possibilities are for us as we grow. It was also really fun to watch your excitement about the machine and the entire process.
Thanks Teanna!
@@BlackTieBarn your channel is definitely one I look to as I find my way in this new world.
@@scentedlegacy i appreciate that. thank you
What an amazing machine! It will certainly save time and money cleaning pouring jugs for starters! A very wise and sensible investment!
😁👍
This is my dream. A small candle making business. Tysm for all of the help! I sure can't buy that machine today, but who knows, maybe one day!
Absolutely! How I started as well
@@BlackTieBarn 🙏🤗thank you so much again! That's huge encouragement to me. Well done!
Right now I make about 12-20 Candles a month. I am enjoying the experience. I have been doing this for about 8 months now. I haven't sold one candle yet. LOL. Actually I haven't attempted to sell candles. I have been just giving them away to various people, my cleaning lady, my neighbors, family, friends. They only think I have been asking in return is feedback. I am getting close to the point where I am getting comfortable producing repeatable outcomes. So it won't be long before I can make my first buck. BTY. This is just fun for me. Not looking at this time for huge returns. Just might be a little retirement thing for me in the future. I want to thank you for your videos. You are encouraging all the way. There were times I would be frustrated but watching your videos seems to keep me on track. You are right. We are our own worse critics. Thank you again.
Thanks so much. And good for you. Testing and feedback deviously for top do before rushing to selling!
Damn... I'm excited for u!! I'm going to wait til I see one at an estate sale 🤔🤷🏼♀️🍸
😁❤️
This machine is amazing. I’m definitely not there yet for that volume. I’m at the very beginning, planning to open in October.
Awesome, good luck!
Laughing at the car comparison. My husband and I were just talking yesterday about how cars depreciate as soon as you drive off the lot so you're not wrong. How wonderful for you, what a great investment for your business!
Lol. Thanks!
Congrats, Love watching you grow.. I did have a question maybe you can do a video someday. On this, you mix your F/O and Color in a bottle, awesome. Can people do this on a small scale, I mean mix F/O and color and store them; if so how long could you store the mix for. If this is possible it opens up more ease of streamlining small batches. Love the info thanks.
Awesome Video. I've been eyeing a filling machine for a while. Just about to pull the trigger! Small batch pouring 100 per day is getting exhausting. - Jason
Haha .yes..... yes it can be. The key with these types of machines is making a lot of one scent at a time before switching.
Hey thanks for sharing this! Have you noticed an improvement in sink holes and not having a need to smooth the candles after they are poured?
WOWWWW 1,300 an hour! Thanks so much for sharing!
Yah... I won't make than many for a few reasons.... but the fact that it can is cool. Lol
I’m just getting started and been in contact with Chinese suppliers who make candles. I make them also but because I work full time, it’s hard to find time to make a significant amount to sell. But I guess I’ll get there. I got my website set up. Just need to add products!
Awesome! Good luck to you!
This is basically a candlemaker’s wet dream 😆 I am also that techy nerd that would enjoy the changing recipes as well. I cannot wait until I am at the point where my business can afford this. 😍 I sell about 225 candles a month on average. Thanks for the video!! 🖤
Good for you! You are on your way!
That’s a good number of candles in my world
Awesome Rebecca! That's doing really well!
This community is so nice and supportive. Love it!
@@Jane-West thank you so much!
Love this! Thank you for sharing, I’ve been obsessing over this idea for sometime and waiting for someone like you to get one, then share your review with us. THANK YOU (I’m no where near ready for this, but I like to predict and plan for my future). Aside from the obvious cost being prohibitive to a business not ready for this large expense, it’s the wicking part that would slow me down. It doesn’t matter how quick this process is to pour when it takes me hours to wick each vessel. Pouring 1000 candles in a day means wicking 1000 candles in a month haha. Did you see any automated wick placement machines at this convention? I’m seriously considering hiring someone just to pre-wick my vessels. I don’t know when it happened but this part is my absolute least favorite part of my job. Thanks again.
Thanks Traci. Your are 100% right, it doesn't help with the wicking part. But that's gotta be done regardless. Still save all the time mixing and pouring. I just wick while more wax is melting. So not losing any time. ;)
Ideally these machines really some of when you have additional help prepping jars too. Because then your ability to keep making more and more just keeps increasing.
What do you mean don’t get it day one??? 😂 I found this right before I saw your video on it, and was already telling my husband we needed this, lol, and it was from a 14 year old video.. now after watching yours I’m even more convinced! Okay okay, I know I’m just dreaming.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where did you find those awesome wick holders:)
Thank you. I now have a goal to buy this machine … but $20K - yikes! Though, the return seems worth it.
Hi thank you for your video I want to start my own candle company to make tapers and tealights what kind of machines do you suggest for beginners
That is so awesome! I'm so happy for you. Question.... what about mixing/stirring the wax & FO? No need? Have fun with your new toy!
He answered someone else with the same question and said it’s all a myth and he has a video about it. He also said this mixes the oil better with the wax as it’s dispersing. Hope that helps. :-)
Thanks Tim. Not so much a myth more of major exaggeration. But that when hand mixing it does take longer and more heat. You just don't need to worry about it with this kind of pumper.
Hey jessica.. check our some other answers to same question I just replied to. Hope it helps. Great question!
Awesome tool! You have inspired me to start a small candle company with my autistic daughter. I have two questions. With liquid color dye, if a single 10oz candle uses 3 drops of blue and 1 drop of black, do you just multiply that for 5 x 10oz candles (15 blue/ 5 black), or does that scale in a different way?
So concerning that tool, how does it handle temp? If you mix scent at 180 degree and pour at 140 degree, does this machine just do it at a single temp? If so, do you blend high or low? I ask as I use Soy and if I pour before 140 degree I have issues.
And ya, I am still at the pouring 4 to 6 at a time... about to make our first real batch of 120 candles for our first pop-up. Wish us luck!
How is the change over from scent? Does it go pretty quick or does it take some time to clean out the scent feeding line and wand?
Wait... it stops pumping out wax with only a few numbers you put in at the beginning which means you have an exact amount in each and every jar each and every time? 😲 And you can mix the FO & dye in a way that keeps you from having to clean out that beast? 😲 ❤It pours fast and clean - so pretty! ❤
Congratulations on big goals accomplished, Wade! I'm years from even beginning to contemplate equipment like this lol
#GoalsIDidntEvenKnowIMightNeed 😁 but dang that price...
Lol. Yes. It's awesome
Just watching the video. I am very new to candle making. The one thing I have picked up on is mixing the scent with the wax. With you now having this for almost a year now. How is the mixing of the wax and scent. Any difference in the cold throw and hot throw?
Wow. This is super cool! How does it mitigate the difference in mixing temp vs pouring temp? If it mixes in the jar, is it not being poured too hot? Any concerns about the mixing process not being as long? Are there waxes this may not be a good fit for? I have so many questions about the actual mechanics of this machine and process! LOL fellow geek about this kind of stuff. I'm always the but how does it work person. Down the rabbit hole I go!
Seriously big congrats to you. This was a hard earned investment for your business and I hope to make it there myself someday.
I'm making around 20 candles a month because I'm in the late testing phase for my business I hope to launch in September so I'm going to ramping up big time this week. This machine is definitely a goal I'm writing down for the future.
Thank you for all you do and share. You have surely changed many lives by making information that was once gate kept by the experienced, so folks like us can start up for a bit less financial investment. I'm referring to all the testing we get to skip to learn the very basics because folks like you have been down that road and shared what did and didn't work, allowing us to make better educated guesses from the start. I'm grateful for you and the other chandlers like yourself on YT. I would be where I am right now without your channel and by proxy, YOU! So Thank YOU.
Hey Heather. I actually just answered this same question so will paste the same answer below.
Its a good question (i was curious about this as well years ago) and the short answer is.... you really don't need to with a machine like this.
Temp is WAY less important with machines like this in terms of when to add FO. Because it mixes so much efficiently grams at a time so it mixes well at any temp. So with equipment like this. The key is basically setting your tank temp to your pour temp. In the batches I made in the video, I set to 140. But will depend on your specific wax. And of course testing with your wax
