Wick-less Testing & Updates On Waxes

- In today's video, I discuss and show you how I pour wick-less candles for testing purposes. Pouring wick-less candles saves time and money when it comes to candle testing. By using this method, you are able to easily swap out different wicks to test with the same candle.
Please note that everything shown in this video is just what works best for me. There is no wrong or right way of doing things. I urge you to do your own research and testing.

great tip regarding wickless, i had never seen that done before, so thanks for this!!
So glad the ht worked well!! Bamboo + Oakmoss is definitely a softer scent but so lovely. ❤❤
Thank you, Bree! I just wanted you to know that I really appreciate you and your tips.
You have been helping me enormously while I’m just starting my own journey of candle making.
I wish you the best on your new testing of waxes and wicks for your relaunch!
Thanks for all the hints for wickless testing. I'll give it a try soon.
This video is super helpful. Thank you so much. I appreciate you sharing. :)
You are so welcome!
This is such a smart and economic way of testing. Thanks for sharing! Also, how do you like the new clear bags you were trying out for your wax melts?
I do!! I ordered more and they should be arriving today :). Just what I had in mind for my wax melts!
Hi there Bree! New subscriber here and I particularly enjoyed watching your concrete jar related videos. I'm curious to know this wax blend ratio that you've been using in the past and love so much.
Hey there! Thanks for subscribing 🙂. I use a coconut 83/ sp 487 blend and have loved it. I do 80% coco 83 and 20% sp 487. The sp 487 just hardens up the coconut wax a bit and makes it easier to wick.
Try the LX 14 😊 good luck❤
Thanks, Bree for this video. I’m just in the beginning process of starting my candle business and this is going to help me a lot with testing.
Maybe I missed this in another video but have you decided to not make your own cement vessels anymore and go with purchased ones from now on?
Good luck with your testing of the new kinds of wax!
I’m glad you found it helpful! Yes, I’ve mentioned it in a few previous videos. I’ll be transitioning to these jars for my signature collection to be able to do wholesale more easily. It’s too difficult to do large quantities with the concrete vessels. Very time consuming. I will still be making concrete candles here and there.
@@calafiacandleco Thanks for the reply! You have given me some things to think about and reconsider now too! Have a great rest of the week.
Love all your videos ! I have a question when you burned your coco 83 + S&P in glass jars do you get a lot of wax residue left on sides of jars?
Thanks so much! During the first few burns, I like to have hang-up on the sides because as the candle burns further down and the jar gets hot, it will melt off the residual wax. If you're left with a lot of wax on the sides after the candle is completely finished, you may need to wick up.
Have you tried EC26 wax? The reviews are really good
Some wicks are directional. I would cut off the tab and insert the way it would be wicked with the tab. Good luck!
Certain ones can be! I look for the straightest ones when using this method. That is a great tip! Thanks for sharing.
Hello! I did not read through the comments to see if this has been asked yet, but how did the CDN 4 do? I have similar jars and want to switch from CD to CDN.
It seemed like it was burning a tad too hot, so I swapped it out for a CDN 3 and have that going as we speak. So far so good!
Hi hun, I'm waiting on this wax to test for a jar that is 3.06 inches inside diameter... Will you be able to help with any wick suggestions?
Sorry for the late reply here! Are you referring to the Titan wax?
@@calafiacandleco Yes I am 🙏🏾
I've really been leaning towards CDN wicks with this wax. I would maybe try a CDN 6-8.@@TweedyTweeter2011
May I ask where did you get the jars? Do u have a link ?
So sorry for the late reply here! They are from candle science. www.candlescience.com/containers/medium-amber-straight-sided-jar-threaded/?variant=12-pc-case
@@calafiacandleco no worries! Thank you! I know you’ve been busy testing.
So you are not doing the cement vessels at all anymore?
No, I will. They will just be more like specialty or limited edition. For my signature collection, I'm switching to the glass to allow more efficiency with the wholesale side of things.
How do you know what wick to use?
There are lots of wick guides out there from different suppliers that can give you a starting point. From there, you just adjust as needed.
