Wax Melter Collection and Wax Melting Tips

[@jshowal]

I'm really loving the ease of melting and the interaction with vendors. I'm they type of person that gets tired of a particular scent easily so I get enjoyment out of knowing it will only last 1-2 days then I can switch it up until I'm ready to melt that scent again. Plus, I'm sick of babysitting candles too.

[@CanadaKim1978]

+Jenn S YEEEES! Totally agree Jenn!😀~Kim

[@deloramorena8216]

I LOVE wax melts! Walmart has great scents at affordable prices but lately I have been finding awesome handmade melts from instagram. My favorites are Majestic Melts, Waltzing Candle Company and Scents by Sate.

[@texasbelle24]

I totally agree with burning candles & the time it takes. Some days I know I won't be at home long enough to start burning a candle, so it's great to throw in some wax cubes & let them go :) That melter from BBW is so pretty!

[@CanadaKim1978]

+jessicagreen518 I totally agree! Thank you! It's my favourite purchase of 2017 for sure...highly recommend 😀👍🏼~Kim

[@kimvanderhoek]

Thanks for sharing your melter with us! Your red one really does have a deep bowl and I wish mine did then I could really get creative with my melt combos. Thanks again Kim!

[@CanadaKim1978]

+Kim VanDerHoek Keep a look out a your drug stores maybe? That's where I found mine. It's ginormous! lol thanks for watching Kim😀~Kim

[@carolyncoppola974]

I started setting silicone cupcake cups on the dish plate, and the dried wax pops right out and the dish stays clean. You can also purchase something similar from Candle Warmers (accessories). They worked great. Love your channel! Thanks for sharing! God bless you. ❤️

[@CanadaKim1978]

Oh I was gifted a couple. I keep forgetting I have them to be honest. Thank you again for watching and taking the time to comment as well ❤️😀~Kim

I bought the bbw wax melter after seeing you hauling in a video and you are right it is gorgeous. I love your videos

[@CanadaKim1978]

+37Pinkie And it's pretty bright too! Like I bright night-light! Lol. Thank you for your support!😀~Kim

[@nickyroberts281]

My BBW warmer is supposed to arrive tomorrow. After seeing it in your favorites I knew I was gonna have to have it. Lol. I agree about the candles. And on top of everything else wax is just cheaper. I only buy the ones I really really want ( candles) and spend on wax. Still comes out to less than I was spending. Thanks for this video. ☺️

[@CanadaKim1978]

+Nicky Roberts I can't wait to hear how much u Iove your warmer! It's absolutely gorgeous! That's a good idea...I'm also burning less, melting more and I love it😀~Kim

[@nathaliejiron4609]

To clean my melters, I just pull it out while it is still warm, I pour out the wax, wipe the excess with paper towel, and then wash it like I’m washing a plate using a dish sponge and soap with warm water. 🤷🏼‍♀️. Comes off super easily that way.

[@cairafreer3932]

Nathalie Jiron cotton balls 😂 cotton balls soak up the wax and you just wipe it out with another cotton ball once it’s all absorbed then throw it away 😉

[@tonyahall8641]

The first warmer is an element warmer, as in heating element, and looks a lot like ones that candlewarmers.com carry. I have one and it is amazing! That company also carries the Candle Aire, the warmer that has a fan to blow the scent around as it melts. I have found warmers that Candlewarmers.com has discontinued at Boscovs.com significantly discounted at times. Hope that helps!

[@shannondavidson1886]

Tonya Hall Very informative. Thank you!

[@CanadaKim1978]

+Tonya Hall Oh that's awesome! And...and warm that blows the scent...OMG! Thank you for sharing my friend!😀~Kim

[@gf3003]

Thank you for the information Tonya girl the whole video I'm thinking where am I gonna get or look for this...so thanx girl ✌️👍

[@therealmissglamBAM]

Your makeup looks so pretty! This was super helpful. Never heard anyone review the BBW warmer so I was curious, the price actually isn't too bad on it with a coupon compared to what I was expecting! You have a lot of valid points that I agree with but for some reason I just still like candles more, even though they can be frustrating but they usually are stronger for me! I have a warmer without the removable dish and it's so annoying! It got some random dark spots on it that I've tried to scrub off but won't remove - maybe I'll have to get a magic eraser!

[@CanadaKim1978]

+MissGlamBAM Have u tried Mr Clean Magic Eraser? Works like a charm for me. Well thank you so much for watching!😀~Kim

Thanks for the great review ! Happy New Year 2021

Thank you so much for watching Amira! And a very Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!🎉🥳❤️😀~Kim

[@cwhitworth82]

I love owls too! The plug in warmer...I am not sure if you know but when you place the decorative part of bulb, you can turn it to keep it from falling. I use cotton balls to soak wax up with no removable trays vs removing the whole decorative topper. I find it difficult to get the wax out of the smaller ones when cold for some reason.

[@CanadaKim1978]

+cwhitworth82 Oh awesome! Thank you for the tip!😀👍🏼~Kim

[@trystcrypt]

oh! I've never thought of putting them in the freezer! good idea, I can't wait to try that!

[@CanadaKim1978]

+Janelle Ball I just wait for the plate to cool then pop it in. Doesn't take more than an hour, sometimes less...and it's ready to pop out😀. ~Kim

[@subi1677]

I have found that Bar Keeper's Friend and even baking soda works at cleaning the bowls of my melters. Hope that helps. Great video☺

[@CanadaKim1978]

+Susan Bishop Oh that's great! Thank you😀👍🏼~Kim

[@Pocketsnuggies]

Also, Belkin makes a timer (on Amazon) that you can choose 3,6,9 hours) of melting that you can plug your warmers into so as not to forget and leave it on. Someone else recommended it to me and it's great! It's white and lime green.

[@CanadaKim1978]

+Deb Beroff Oh! What an awesome idea! 😀~Kim

[@sarahward5757]

Once my tray is cool and the wax I put a drop of dish soap and put a little water and let it sit. The wax will lift right off.

[@CanadaKim1978]

Oh that’s a great idea! Thank you Sarah!😀~Kim

[@MissAmanny]

Love this video Kim. And you are so right. It is much more easy to melt then have candles burner when you have to go out. Also safer with kids and pets. Just like you I melt more then I burn lately. I still burn candles but not as much as I use to do. I'm so in love with your BBW melter with sleeve it looks so stunning😍 Anyways thank you for this lovely video and I'm looking foward to the next one. Have a great week. ~Jeanine

[@CanadaKim1978]

+JJ Nosha Thank you Jeanine! No muss, no fuss...just the way I like it😀👍🏼~Kim

Please do a Spring Wax Melts haul/what's on your wish list video. Thanks💜

[@CanadaKim1978]

Hhhmmm...because vendors don’t let us know too far ahead, I’m not sure what I want. That’s tough. But I’ll have my Spring TBT from March-May😀~Kim

[@ashleypederson3889]

For candles that I really, really want to enjoy the fragrance I just melt them down and pour them into decorative molds that i find at the dollar store. The scent lasts forever and no PWS or burnt smell. Thanks for the video!!

[@CanadaKim1978]

+Ashley Pederson That's a great idea!!! Love it! I need to find molds! Thank you for watching Ashley!😀~Kim

[@lisaisaleo]

I have the owl warmer from Walmart also but I have the whoot owl warmer from Scentsy and it's way prettier then the Walmart one. You should definitely purchase a Scentsy warmer. They are a little pricey but they are by far the best inn my opinion:)

[@CanadaKim1978]

+lisaisaleo I have seen these in catalogs. A bit steep, but your right...detail is amazing 😀~Kim

[@AmandaLynnnn]

I wish bath and body would have more options for sleeves!

[@CanadaKim1978]

+SASHAISMS Oh that's cool! Do u know if your less expensive ones have a lower wattage? I love the liquified look for sure! Thank you for watching!😀~Kim

Kim, have you heard of Function of Beauty? It's customized shampoo and conditioner. I just ordered a set to try it out. It's quite pricey. I have hair similar as yours. I also have an oily scalp, so dandruff can sneak up on me. I can't find ANY shampoo for hair color and dandruff. I also need frizz control, Curl enhancement, ect. It's REALLY customizable. You may be interested. Sorry off topic from candles. lol

[@jingleswaxadventures8790]

Hi Kim! I hope it is okay to respond here, as I realize this video is an older one. I am very new to vendor wax, and I have been running into lots of trouble finding the right warmer for it. I first tried a couple of Scentsy warmers (25 watt bulb), but found the throw (using Super Tarts Wax) to be very weak. Next I tried a Scentsy 40 watt bulb warmer, which helped, but the fragrance lasted only a few hours (I think probably it was too hot for the wax). Then I purchased a Mainstays 24 watt element warmer, and it got way too hot (I could see steam rising from the warmer), and again, the fragrance lasted only a couple of hours. So I am at a loss as to which warmer to try next. I am hoping you can help. Would the BBW bulb warmer work for my Super Tarts vendor wax? I have wax from a couple of other vendors, but I don’t even want to pull that out until I can figure out which warmer to use. Thanks so much for all your hard work on this channel. I love your videos!

[@CanadaKim1978]

I think the steam you saw is just the fragrance oil evaporating. I know each space is different. And many have different favourites for warmers etc. I live in a small home, no air conditioning in the summer etc. But I can only attest to my 1 BBW warmer and 3 Mainstays I have scattered around my place. I wish I could be of more help. I know many vendors “less is more” in wax melting. For example, SuperTarts I just need 1 cube and get a significant throw from it. More than 1 cube at a time with SuperTarts and it can drown or suffocate the scent. I know that sounds totally weird but I have found that to be true. Hope this helps, even just a little. Thank you so much for watching 😀~Kim

[@jingleswaxadventures8790]

That does help, Kim. Thanks so much for responding. I have learned the hard way not to use too many cubes at once. I know Super Tarts has a stellar reputation so I just need to keep trouble-shooting until I find the right combo between wax and warmer. Also, I didn’t even think about the steam being the fragrance oil. I am such a newbie...I know nothing at all about what I’m doing. Lol. The journey is lots of fun though 😀 Thanks again for your help!!

[@CanadaKim1978]

It is quite the journey but a fun and great smelling one 😊. You’ll find that sweet spot with your warmers and wax amount. Just enjoy the process. The wax community is awesome. Happy to have you a part of it!😀~Kim

[@karenz7059]

Hi KIm. The crimson element warmer you showed from Pharmasave...does the BBW jar sit flat on the actual heating element or does it sit on the ceramic outer edge a bit? I find with my Glade warmers and my Yankee one that my BBW and Yankee candle jars don't come in direct contact with the element and are a tad bit wobbly. I may have to try and find one that has a bigger element surface for when I do want to use it to melt the wax in a candle jar itself.

[@karenz7059]

ps...Walmart Canada is bringing in a new line of candles(customers asked for better, longer lasting scent throw candles)....they may be better then what is currently available

[@CanadaKim1978]

+Karen Z Yes...my 3 wicks from BBW fit perfectly👍🏼. 😀~Kim

[@CanadaKim1978]

+Karen Z I may give it a try. But my Walmart has crappy selection. And we don't get the cool ones that the US get...sigh. Lol😀👍🏼~Kim

[@marisarouillon371]

Hello CanadaKim1978 how are you? what kind of wax the best wax for making wax melts with the molds or making wax melts? so you can make wax melts with soy wax? and can you use use food like 100 sprinkles? and can you put real glitters too? and what kind of glitter to use too?

[@CanadaKim1978]

Hi Marisa! I’ve never made my own wax for melts etc. I know some vendors use blends with soy. Amazon has a lot of great molds to pour your wax into...the best ones are silicon molds (makes for easy piping out once cooled). I would use food sprinkles as it will likely stain your bowls. Very fine glitter might be best! But I’ve never made my own melts so I’m just going on my purchasing experience. Thank you for watching ❤️😀~Kim

i'm new at wax melting.. so when you melt and put it in the freezer that wax that you pop out do you reuse or throw it away?

I go throw it away. I have so much wax but if I was on a budget I would just melt my wax until I didn’t get a scent from it. And some brands/vendors, that could take days. Thanks for watching Armando😀~Kim

[@Pocketsnuggies]

Have you seen anyone just place ice cubes on top of the wax instead of freezer? I've always done the freezer method, but ice works great and faster! Place a few cubes for a bit, then pop out! Give it a try! Or throw cotton balls in while hot!

[@onetruething1]

Hi! SUCH a great video. IM NEW to this. I just ordered a electric wax melt warmer from Kohls website with a couple yankee wax melt cup...cups. My question is can I use regular wax cubes lets say from bath and body works in the same warmer? It says its electric and has a timer. I just came across your channel. Thank you have a great day!! Also do you like BBW wax melts?

[@CanadaKim1978]

I have never used a Warmer from Kohl’s. That said, I don’t see why you couldn’t give it a go. I know the Yankee Wax Cups many use with Yankee warmers but I’ve received some cups in the past and just popped out the wax from the cup, chopped it up and melted in any one of my warmers. I’m thinking maybe I should do another warmer video...this one you found is a few years old now. I have tried BBW wax melts but they are very pricy in comparison to Better Hones & Gardens or Scentsationals from Walmart. I have a play list on how and why I chop up my BBW 3 wick candles. Way more scents to choose from and much more economical too. Thank you so much for watching Christina 😀~Kim
