Which candle wax to use? What works best? 464, 444 and TW-30?

When I first started out making candles choosing a wax was a little overwhelming. I had so many questions and I did a lot of research. Choosing the perfect wax for you and your business is vital! Do you want to make sure that it is a wax that complements exactly what you were wanting to achieve.
Here’s why I chose the 464, 444 and a TW 30 wax. I want everyone to know that in this tutorial most of the information that you get are from my experiences and my opinion. Please make sure that you do all of your own research on the different types of wax before starting your candle making business. What works for one person may not necessarily work for another.
I hope that this tutorial informative and answers some of your questions when it comes to choosing a wax.

Hello! Thank you for sharing all this information. Im using the tw30 for the first time and I would like to know if is normal for the cubes to have a creamy consistency. Thank you 😊

[@scampos612]

If you are using the app TW30, it should be very solid once it’s blended and poured. Sometimes if you add a little too much FO it can cause the wax to not solidify

[@lisamarie7792]

I’ve been doing so much research my head is spinning! I’ve been wanting to try this wax for my wax melts, I feel like people stopped buying because the others ones I was making weren’t throwing well at all. I’ve tried parasoy & coconut tart wax! The other day I randomly melted down an old 464 candle and made wax melts with them for myself (I know it’s not made for melts) but it threw way stronger than my other tart waxes! I’ve seen people blending tw-30 with 464 as well. Do you think it even needs blended with any other wax? Or does it throw really well on its own?! I considered even mixing IGI 6006 in with it to see if it makes it that much stronger. I’m the same way you are and like a really good strong throw to fill up your home. Was almost considering going to paraffin for that reason. If it throws this well as a wax melt and can be used for candles as well.. how would you wick this wax with an 8oz/2.9” diameter straight sided jar?

[@scampos612]

I love the TW-30. It's the highest FO % that I have found and the hot throw is really good. I don't blend it for 2 reasons, the hot throw is amazing and the cost of combining a wax. Shipping is already so expensive for wax and I hate to add to my cost when the one works so good by itself. As for a wick for that wax...I'm not sure. I've never used this in a candle. It may give a different throw, who knows! I'm super curious! Make sure that the price is good for a container candle too! This wax is pricy and so it may not be cost effective.

[@lisamarie7792]

@@scampos612 thank you very much for the response! Makes perfect sense.

[@courtneydrew9718]

Can you add the t30 to 464 for extra theow

[@scampos612]

I’m not sure… I haven’t tried that yet so I don’t want to recommend anything.

[@KessFam1]

What temp do you add the fragrance in for tw30?

[@scampos612]

I add it at 175

[@hopecarpintino6114]

That’s the wax I’m getting (TW30) but I’m 62 and not that strong anymore how do you break it?

[@scampos612]

I purchase my wax from California Candle Company and it comes in 10 lbs blocks. I use a hammer to break it. That’s the only way I know how 😁

[@val-bm3so]

California candle will break it into small pieces if you ask them. LoVe TW 30

[@kerstonbeattie2371]

$165 for 45lbs of 444 without shipping in Canada right now!

[@ajminxy]

What?!!

[@madisonharper2741]

What temp do you suggest to pour fragrance oil in the tw-30?

[@scampos612]

With this wax I pour at 155°
