Fantastic video, but definitely wanted to say congratulations on terrific information. Your warning about heatgun & the glass jars is spot on👌🏼I was stunned watching 2 other KZbinrs using heatgun pretty much touching the glass and me cringing that newbies are learning a dangerous “technique”. Love your videos💕

❤❤❤thank you so much ma’am GOD BLESSED YOU from Philippines ❤️❤️❤️

Please help I put my digiboil to 60c however it was still going up on the temperature now is on 75c what do I do ?

Paraffin wax is an inert chemical.

Soak your wick in olive oil or hemp oil before putting them in.😊🕯️

dyes and artificial fragrance in candles are toxic

Thats beautiful ❤

Espresso from bramble berry

Where did you go? I love your videos but ever since you got engaged, 1 video. Please come back 😊

Most popular diptyque fragrance? They are so expensive!

What about using paraffin wax for therapy, arthritis? Hand wrap, heat, so on...

You said the word "like" in this video more than I have ever said it in my life.

❤❤❤❤ thank you

Paraffin is toxic? Even (some) people are toxic! Lol 😂 I'd rather eat paraffin than having prolonged exposure to those people 😂 I make candles from vegetable wax and paraffin wax just for a hobby and I have asthma 😂 I prefer to make decisions based on objective information rather than fear mongering hearsay 😊 Thanks for the video! It's objective and informative ❤

I like yor quirky attitiude. Have you ever tried Simbi or Scent Memory?

You need to get to the point more quickly. FWIW

Love this video! Im so excited to get into candle making and your videos are helping me so much!

Votive candles from Walmart made me sick with breathing problems and dry stuffy nasal cavities

What? We don't see it burning?

The digiboil that the digital part doesn’t work hahaha

I was thinking about buying one of these but evidently they suck

1:45

Thank you!

I use Coconut Apricot as well. What’s your curing time? I’ve been iffy.

That dismay you're speaking on is in reverse for me 😂 I started with paraffin and am now very frustrated with soy. I would have stuck to paraffin 100% if not for all the emissions hate it's getting. The soy keeps cracking and snapping for me

I feel like you’re giving your secrets away but that just shows how confident you are about your business. I admire that!

This is an insanely comprehensive and concise make more video essays please ! 😩✋

Haha! You are funny! I’m just starting my candle business and I think you nailed it about candle makers. 😂

Thanks for the guidance! I am really looking forward to trying this. What, would you change about your process if you were trying to marble wax melts rather than candles?

What about it being used in food?

Thank you so much for this very informative video. You don’t know how much this means to me and my 20 large Yankee candles that I bought over Christmas 👀🤣

Like Vaseline.

Hello! Super helpful info, thank you. Question for you; what oils/brand do you use to scent your candles?

Thank you for this info. I just made my first batch of candles yesterday, I was so proud at how beautiful they looked, then by the end of the evening they all had caved in!!! Your video was the first to pop up and I am about to fix my sink holes, thankfully, my husband has a heat gun to cure his work boots, so I’m going to use his heat gun and fix these candles ❤

Back in 2006, AECM, ALAFAVE, EWF & NCA (i.e. most of the world's candle federations) ordered the most comprehensive study on the emissions of unscented candles. An independent lab measured and compared the emission of relevant pollutants from filled glasses made of the five most commonly used candle fuels (beeswax, palm, paraffin wax, soy and stearin) with each other and with the strictest limit and guideline values available for health protection. The most important findings were that (I) the emissions of these different fuels were very similar both in composition and concentration, and (II) consumer exposure based on the emissions was far below any level of concern. The ECA & NCA had already started talking about a similar study for scented candles in 2010. But the objective was to get a representative assessment for scented candles in general rather than picking some candles from a certain manufacturer. This made it very complex and time-consuming. A task group with representatives of the NCA, ECA, and seven fragrance houses was formed that agreed on combining five fragrance mixtures (considered representative for all fragrances used in candles) with the four most commonly used fuels, ending up with 20 different scented candle types. The four unscented fuels came on top as controls so that there was a total of 24 different candle types to test. The independent lab Fraunhofer WKI measured all relevant emissions known to be emitted by burning candles and evaluated consumer exposure against the background data of published limit and guideline values in both the EU and USA. The final report of this - the most comprehensive study that has ever been made in this area - was available at the beginning of 2020. But it took another year to have its summary published in a peer-reviewed journal so that authorities, NGOs, and all stakeholders could verify and accept the findings. The open-source journal 'Environment International' finally published the article online on 6 May 2021. Please find the article here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412021002154 For the unscented candles it can be determined that the fuels palm, paraffin, soy and stearin behave very similarly in terms of emissions (see Table 4, Table 5). No individual wax was shown to have a consistently better emission profile than the others. Long story short, Paraffin is perfectly safe and no more toxic than any other wax when PROPERLY wicked (relative to the ingredients). Often big manufacturers of candles purposely overwick their candles to guarantee a good hot throw, properly wicked paraffin wax is perfectly safe. The only legitimate arguments I would have against paraffin is that it's non renewable and the BTEX compounds, but the amounts are perfectly safe. Stop listening to blogs people, read the science. Also sidenote, creating Soy wax etc required petrochemicals/petroleum products, for example to extract the soybean oil from it's husk it's left in Hexane, which is a petroleum chemical. I.e Petroleum products are used to manufacture Soy wax. Great video!

Thank you! So cool!

Awesome vid! What type of wax do you use? It dries so perfectly and if it's soy, curious as to which one :)

I like to think of paraffin wax as being upcycled 😆

You said point 5 wick you use is that the width i only saw wicks .2 and .3 and .4

Do you know if these scents can be made into perfumes? Thank you so much for this video! Will have to pick up a candle.

Talking too much, boring

There are so many logical fallacies in your arguments, almost none of your points make any sense. This just really seems like you are trying to justify your own use of paraffin wax because you have a bias... "water is toxic" yes, but in an entirely different way. "yes it's toxic but so is everything else in your house" is a horrible argument. We should be concealing away any toxic products in our homes and we shouldn't be using paraffin wax. "well below the air quality exposure limits defined by the World Health Organization" thats actually hilarious... you obviously have been living under a rock. I could keep going. Literally your next argument was ridiculous... you're good content creator, your skeleton intro was funny. But please stop debunking before you get people hurt

This is a very underrated video explanation thank you😊

Im literally burning baja right now haha

You are erroring out because unfortunately you're using it incorrectly. Not to worry! Just use the 500w Element and you will not get that error message. It will take longer to heat, but it will not potentially break the unit.

I've had two Digiboils die on me less than six months after purchase and, after contacting (pestering) the manufacturer, I found out that the new Digiboil models are NOT made for viscous liquids due to the wattage. If you are getting an E3 error on your Digiboil, you are in danger of overheating your machine and at risk of it catching fire. I almost burned down my store using a Digiboil that I bought from Howdy Brewer and they have been absolutely useless in providing any kind of customer service, refund, or replacement even though their website says that it's good for candle making. I run a multiple six-figure candle business and it is NOT worth the risk.

Loved the video, Thank you! When making candles and testing do you have to try wicks on every doffrent fragrance or one you find a good wick and wax you always stuck to the same ?

Love the look of these, thank you for the vid it was really helpful

Thanks!

What size is that?
