Making Test Candles in Gorgeous Lux Jars from Ambrosina (6 Fragrances)

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thanks for watching. As one viewer mentioned. The only thing you really need to watch for with these types of vessels (or any sprayed ones) is inconsistent spraying or visible spray lines and waves. None of the ones received had these issues but it's bound to be an issue on some (especially lighter colors). It never hurts to watch for this and let them know if you experience that issue. Thanks for being here everyone!

[@carissaconley8395]

They are great vessels just be careful. I use the purple(amethyst jars) they scratch very very easily. Otherwise they are gorgeous.

[@lisamcconnell9657]

I really like the plum vessel it turned out pretty

[@BlackTieBarn]

Ty!

[@RoseKindred]

If I was to open a luxury line, the plum see-through one would be my first choice with a nice silver lining on the labels. These are beautiful.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Oh that does sound lux

[@babyg2cc2]

The plum vessel is gorgeous 😍. Your labels compliment them very well.

[@sherit8594]

Agreed 💯 but it looks more "Magenta" on camera/TV 🤔

[@cindybrown4910]

Beautiful candles and your labels are great. I like your coloured line for the name. Adds a nice pop.

Thanks Cindy!

New subscriber, here! I found your channel a week ago and I've been watching all of your back catalog. I just recently started my business and your videos have been an invaluable resource! I'm also on your Facebook group but I didn't know it was yours until tonight! Thanks for the awesome content!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Awesome! Thanks Sarah. Feel free to let others in the group know as well. It's pretty common. ;) appreciate you being here! :)

The jars are really nice. I like the ones you chose and your original labels do look good on them. Great job! I am curious about the burn tests, so I'll be on the look out.

[@dawnoliver2179]

Love your labels. Cute touches...

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thanks!

[@candlewhisperer]

Great tutorial Wade Thomas!!! Each vessel is beautiful!!! You did a great job with putting all the candles together. I think your last label is the best for these jars. The face of the jar is covered better. I would love to use these vessels however I am undecided about if I want to use luxury vessels or not. I feel if your vessel are for a luxury line; then all your other materials( wax, wicks, & fo) must be on the high end side as well. Can't wait for the test result!!!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thanks Tamara. I agree. I just like testing new stuff all the time. 🤣

[@lizabethea2002]

What do you consider “luxury wax”?

[@candlewhisperer]

@@lizabethea2002 anything I am not willing to pay an arm and leg for😀!!!

[@lizabethea2002]

@@candlewhisperer 😂

[@BlackTieBarn]

@@lizabethea2002 Well this was more about using luxury jars, not so much wax and oils. I just tested with a standard wax, for lack of better terms. In my opinion, I am not sure I truly believe in a luxury wax. Luxury is mostly about branding and good aesthetics. As long as the wax, wick, and oil perform well, I think darn near any can be a luxury candle with ag good vessel and good branding

[@Venessa-ob3si]

Which company have you been using for your labels? I cannot seem to get the colored Ike you have! GORGEOUS candles !!!!!

[@mlLAMARQUE]

Thank you so much for your videos!! Whats the size of those jars???

[@frenchmarketcandleco]

Curious what the name of the parasoy you used. I think I heard soy pour 1280 but unable to find such a wax. I use 6006 but would like to know about the wax you used. Thanks so much for all your videos! :)

[@BlackTieBarn]

Yes SoyPour 1280 and You have to purchase this in bulk straight from manufacturer CJ Robinson. But you can get the equivalent of either PB600 or JoyWax

[@nancykelly9712]

Those candles turned out great and look very nice!! Your labels compliment them very well but they could be a little bigger in size though. I would have liked to see how each wick performed! Thanks for sharing!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Hey Nancy. Yah I didn't specifically make these labels for these jars. I was just seeing what my normal ones would like like. As far as testing.... I mentioned in the video that I will be doing an updated video or post regarding their wicking and how they tested. There wasn't time for this video plus it was more about the jars. But don't worry it's coming.

[@nancykelly9712]

Perfect! I will watch for it thank you for letting me know!! Much appreciated!

I almost thought you were gonna use cashmere plum for the plum colored vessel lol. The orchard vessel and pumpkin vessel are my favorite and so crazy your labels matched colors almost perfect:) love wood wicks and double wicks:)

[@BlackTieBarn]

Haha ya know. I actually thought about it. But I saw sea salt snd Orchid first. Lol

[@TrudyVanD]

Do you have a video on labels? Also why did you add numbers next to the scent name? Thanks!

[@BlackTieBarn]

I dont..don't... but I plan to. And the numbers are just part of the collection's theme. The names are like address, locations, or like places of interests. :) And they were also the number of FO I had releases at the time. :)

[@diamondsfanj]

I’ve ordered from her before. She’s very nice and accommodating when I received some broken. The only minus is the lighter colors (yellow, green, pink) had wavy lines throughout that didn’t look good. The darker colors were perfect but possibly sourced from a different manufacturer since the light colors had circles along the bottom whereas the dark ones didn’t. Great video!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Ahh get to know, thanks for sharing. All the ones I received looked good so might be random ones that have issues. Your area right though .... sprayed hates have that tendency.

[@nickbanaszak4588]

Hey Wade, where are the wooden wicks from?

Hey Wade, did you ever post the results from the burn tests for these testers? I checked the community page and I couldn't locate it.

Yep. It's the very next video in the list of videos. I don't have the link on hand or I'd paste I though. :)

I found it, it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/lae0mmV-gL98nKM if anyone wants to check it out!

[@HandmadeNaturalBeauty]

Hi Wade, I went to check out this company and see that all of their vessels are out of stock. Do you still use them or do you recommend a different supplier? I've been waiting on some of my vessels for 2 years from SKS since Covid and I'm ready to make a switch.

[@gettingbetter2023]

Love your videos! I’d like to know, What is the wax you were using with this candles?

[@BlackTieBarn]

This was called soypour1280. You can it's equivalent called problend 600 or joy wax

[@crishansen4248]

Who sells this wax? Couldn’t find it 😢 I also couldn’t find the burning tests/ results to know how it went

[@darlagracia7490]

What wax did you use? I haven’t heard of that wax 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also these candles turned out great all the way around!!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thanks Darla. This wax is called spypour 1280 50/50 parasoy

did you find it? Have not been able to find it myself!

[@ivonvalle2683]

Im sorry I didn’t hear what wax did you used. Thanks for sharing

[@indigoscents]

Beautiful jars! The wax has a really smooth, glossy finish.

[@BlackTieBarn]

It's not as glossy as it appears. The lights shining on them were causing some of it

[@indigoscents]

Gotcha. I’d love to know more about the wax as you continue to test.

[@celesteelijah2515]

Are you using soy wax? From what I understand soy wax is better to use, because it does not give off that black smoke when the wick is lit. Please verify. Thanks! Good video!

[@martinilarossi]

Hi Celeste, all candles no matter which wax that is used can produce black soot if it isn't made properly or if it's in a high draft area. I hope I was able to add some insight.❤️

[@jaden_untey6975]

Is he using paraffin in this video? I remember him recommending booster wood wicks for vegetable wax but he’s using regular wood wicks so I’m assuming hes not using soy

[@BlackTieBarn]

It's a spy blend. 50/50. In general... boosters or thicker wicks can help with soy but it's a very general recommendation because there are TONS of different soy waxes with different consistency and melt points. This is a low melt point blend

[@jaden_untey6975]

@@BlackTieBarn oh okay. I figured you were using some type of paraffin soy mix. Thanks for the clarification! And yeah I’m testing out some wood wicks for my shop right now and trying to see if the boosters work for my soy that I use. I know everyone uses different stuff. Love your videos man and thanks for all the help!
