Using a Digiboil For Candle Making and Scaling Your Business!

Hey friends! Today I wanted to talk about my partner in crime, my beloved Digiboil that I used to take my candle business to the next level. This is an honest review :)

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.

[@PatrickMadden-qg1jq]

@KegLand I’m using just the 500w and it still gives me an e3..could it be because I’m only filled to the 2 gallon hash? And is it true that the unit will work itself through the error code as she stated in the video?

[@MrJungle123]

Surely there's a way of calibrating it so that the display reflects the temp accurately?

[@dripfromthecrypt5607]

There might be!

[@KegLand]

The unit measures the temperature at the bottom of the unit where it is the most hot. Using a secondary probe at the top will help you see the variance in temperature as it comes up to the desired heat.

[@romeonared4020]

I get that E3 error a lot. Have you found ways to prevent it?

[@birdiehansen591]

E3 errors happen when there are chunks of wax blocking the heating element, which can lead to a full panel failure (E2). Are you having trouble getting your Digiboil to change from C to F?

[@KegLand]

E3 is activated when you're using 1000w and or both elements on at the same time. It should be noted that for wax melting, only the 500w should be used. Failure to do so may cause to that E3 error and break the unit.

[@markvillalvazo1073]

Does the digiboil shut off on you?

[@KegLand]

It will if you're using the 1000w element, or 1000w + 500w. Just use the 500w and you should have no issues.

@@KegLand should i do this no matter the voltage? im using the 220v

@@KegLand For those of us in the US, is there any possible way to still get a Gen 1 anywhere? It looks like your site still has them but only available in Australia? :(

[@SharrodVisuals]

What size is that?

[@KegLand]

9.25 Gallons or 35L

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.

[@KegLand]

If you just use the 500w element you should have no issues. If you're using them all or the 1000w by itself it will cause issues. MoreBeer or Williams Brewing, your regions warranty holders / suppliers of the KegLand range should be able to assist you with this claim if Howdy Brewer have failed to do so.

[@caydence808]

Have you found a replacement for the digiboiler? What would be a better option?

[@energiachannel]

Unfortunately, I ordered mine from HowdyBrewer, and it was one of the worst experiences ever. The DigiBoil looked used and was defective. It had scuff marks everywhere and the black plastic protectors on the little hinges were broken, and it doesn't heat up. I contacted HowdyBrewer, asked for a refund, but they ignored my request and said they shipped a new machine but never did. Long story short, I had to go through Amex and Affirm and open a dispute. It was a nightmare, and the worst part is I have this big machine that doesn't work. @birdiehanson591 now I'm back to using a double-boiler and working slower than I want to be. @kegland you guys should not work with HowdyBrewer. Do a Google search on people's experiences with them.

[@roberttevis312]

The digiboil that the digital part doesn’t work hahaha

[@roberttevis312]

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

You need to get to the point more quickly. FWIW
