[@GG-xz7nv]

Thanks for sharing. How does coconut soy wax hold up when shipping during the hot summer months? Would love to know more about your shipping process. Thanks.

[@puddinpiepaiger]

I love the vessels u used

[@ananya9135]

what'a the wick size? I have aura vessels and the wax keeps tunneling and sweating :/

[@cindyshirld]

That sage colour is just perfect!

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

My favorite 🥰

[@Alienonmars]

Love the video, what size wooden wicks are you using ?

[@juliodadon6582]

Very informative and precise! Love the candles!

Thank you!

[@miahicks3636]

Love the vessels i use the matt white :]

[@nekita4134]

Beautiful

[@jennifers.940]

Loved your video , very informative . May I ask how you calculate how much fragrance should be put with the coconut wax and at what temperature you poured the wax into the vessels

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

Thank you! I use 10% fragrance load to wax weight. I typically pour around 175 degrees Fahrenheit. Usually when I mix the fragrance oil at about 190-195 it cools down quite a bit, pretty fast.

[@krazii6508]

Did you have to purchase the wick clip separate from the wicks?

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

Yes I do! It comes in a pack of 100 on the website. Since I use several different wick sizes, it helped to just order everything separately so I didn't have to keep buying clips.

What size are your wood wicks

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

For the aura vessels, I used .03 whisper booster wick .75 width 5" in height

[@ItsSheila]

@@retreatsoapco.1347 Thank you!

[@andycosta68]

Beautiful work. I went to your site and could not find the candles in the Aura Vessel (the largest candle I found on your site is 8oz). Will you add those to the site as well?

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

Thank you, Yes! I will be adding them very soon. Most likely within the next day or so.

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

Check now 😉

[@laurenwiley6586]

Awesome video. Do you ship your candles out? My concern with the virgin coconut soy wax is melting with shipping. Or does it hold up pretty well. Also, that wax recommends a pour temp of 180-190, do you still let it cool after mixing the FO or do you reheat and pour once it reaches 180-190 again post FO?

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

Thank you! I do ship the candles. I haven't ran into any issues so far and on the hottest day recently I've left a candle in the car for several days on accident and it only sweats a little. Most of the time with shipping it gets delivered 1-3 days. Once it gets to about 190-195 I mix the fragrance oil. It drops dramatically in temperature and I just go ahead and pour immediately. Still great hot and cold throw.

[@pamt2796]

Thanks for the information so if you have 1 pound of that wax you add 1 oz of oil and if you melt 10 pounds of wax you add 10 oz fragrance.

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

It's more like 1.6 oz of oil per lb.

[@homesteadlife2235]

Don't know the wax or fragrance used, so ...?

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

Hello! I mention in the description that I am using the virgin coconut soy wax from woodenwick Co. (Now makesy) The fragrances are all different and some in this video were blends. If you have any specific questions about the fragrance oils I would be glad to give you some information about those.

[@olinemy]

The .75 didn't work for me... it was soothing a lot. 😕

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

I thought the same at first but once I cut the wick down a little shorter than normal it was perfect.

[@devoradouglas9044]

What size do you use now

im a very masculine guy. i make love many times.. sometimes i do it a bit rou gh i confess. i like cars, videogames and idiotic jokes. but i want to open my candle business (l) (l) do you think its not adequate for me?

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

If you want to start a candle business, I say go for it! Do what makes you happy.

[@DiannePhD-JD]

Your candles are beautiful but they look empty...Sometimes you can't go by the suggested fill weight. You just have to trust your own judgment.

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

Actually, I did notice this! I think I will increase the number of ounces for these jars. The next round of candles in these size I may increase by one oz and that does make up the difference in space...debating if I should increase the price..🤔 maybe I'll keep it the same!

[@blackdiamond6121]

Cut the wick 😂😂

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

Lol of course the wicks are cut. I'll show it on camera next time 😉

[@jaypalomino14]

Did you have any problems with burning to fast with that size wick?
