Omg so true about the eco wicks!! I feel like the gripping of the wax hasn’t happened until fairly recently like this year. I never had to put a heat gun to it prior
I use soy 10 as well , if i cant find it , I’ll use the ccs 12 which has been really good to me & like you I do make my own blend, I’ve had only good results with both as opposed to the 464 i just couldn’t get that HT. Thank you for another awesome video ❣️
Hi Erica!! I watched this when you first made it and I was brand new to candle making. I’ve tried quite a few types of wax but I did like the Soy #10. I wasn’t taking good notes back then 😢. What are the ounces and diameters of each size vessels you carry? I’m gonna give it another try!! ❤ thank you!
Thanks for this video. I'm excited to try soy 10. I did notice that northstar candle does advertise it as 100% all natural soy wax. This isn't the case though correct since it's a blend?
Hello Erika! I really enjoy your videos and I truly find your personality amazing. I am quite new to this, I live in Austria, EU, and would really like to try the soy10 that you are using but I cannot find it and plus I don't really know what's the difference between soy waxes. I buy all my supplies from candle shack, and there I found the soy golden wax S41 by aak . Would this be close to the wax you are using? Thank you sooooo much for all you super duper cool videos
This video has been very useful. I have a query, if you don't feel comfortable addressing totally understand, have considered stearic acid as an additive in the place of beeswax to harden rhe wax?. Thank you so much for rhe all the information you have been sharing it has been great learning.
hello my friend 🤝 I really like your work so I made a point of writing these words. keep going like it worked. a big kiss from Brazil 😘 God bless you and your family 🙏
Hi ! I have been testing wax and then wick for over 7 months , I am tired of testing and not getting any where , I want try soy # 10 And California candle co told me to use a ECO -8 wick . Should I buy that one or do you recommend a different one ?
I have been working with soy 10 and the hot throw just isn’t there compared to other store bought candles. I’ve been using Aztec candle supply for my fragrance oils. Have you had a similar experience with that particular brand of fragrance oil?
Honestly, yes. Aztec has always been a hit or miss with fragrances in soy 10. I would try out some candlescience FO’s or the flaming candle FO’s and see if you get a better throw!
Hello..I know you have hundreds of messages and might not be able to answer..I know you make container candles as I do but I also make cake candles and desert candles with lots of embeds..Do you think Accu Soy 10 would work for these type of candles?
@@CorneliaODwyer what is difference between wicks besides the obvious. Like why use an eco over a cd or vise versa?? I've never heard of cdn, what is it's pros in comparison?
@@susanjones2395 after testing so many jars and wick ranges. They all burn differently. Eco wicks in my opinion burn a bit too hot no matter the wax. CDN wicks curl to an approximate 30 degree angle, while CD wicks curl to a 90 degree angle. The lesser angle of the CDN wick tends to create a flame with a smaller base. These wicks are wonderful for nuanced wicking issues, allowing for a truly perfect burn.
Hey !! I really enjoy your channel and have watched most of your videos and sometimes watch them over again !! I do have a question. I saw someone talk about the area you make your candles in it has to be a certain temperature. Is that true and what would that temperature need to be ?
Hi Rebecca! Thank you so much for watching and being a channel member! ❤️ Are you referring to the temperature in the room that you make candles in? If so, yes! This can make a difference in the outcome of your candles in certain situations. I've heard it's best to make candles in a room that's between 68-78ish degrees fahrenheit (give or take). You especially don't want the room to be too cold because this can cause the candles to cool rapidly and I used to have pretty bad glass adhesion issues and weaker Cold throws when I used to make my candles outside in the winter!
It performs very similar to Soy 10 but I think it's slightly more premium than Soy 10. It's whiter in color and looks prettier. HT is very similar to Soy10. In my opinion Soy 10 has a better HT. If Soy Bliss wasn't as expensive, I'd use it but the whiteness isn't enough to justify the price. If you are going for premium luxe candles.. then maybe.
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo All good! Check out my test footage. I'm an aspiring film maker based in Pico,CA. If you're up to collab on any kind of film ideas let me know!
@@MemoryBoxCandleCohello. I’m using the wax in a 9 oz straight sided jar. I follow all the instructions. I test it in the 10 oz tin with 2 eco 2 burn good but no HT. I’m sooo lost. Plz any suggestion ?
How do you know it is food grade Paraffin? The manufacturer hasn’t let me personally know? What’s the difference between food grad and non food grade.. obviously knowing the title argument.
Honestly when the whole paraffin thing came about last year there was a ton of conflicting information. I think I spoke with someone who either didn’t speak English very well or was new to the company because they didn’t know what I meant when I asked if it was food grade paraffin. Then I read that there were a lot of people who spoke with the manufacturer and were told it was food grade And I believe even the admin of one of the candle Facebook groups said it was food grade. Someone even said they went to the facility and was given a tour of the materials. The difference is essentially refined vs unrefined paraffin. So to be honest I haven’t been personally told, but I read that other people had. I can reach out to them again.
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo That makes sense, yes - inconsistent from various sources, it’s been difficult to know what’s right and what’s wrong. I wish the manufacturer would be consistent with what information they give out.
I do too. However I spoke with some other people who have experience working with other wax manufacturers, and they told me that accu blend is actually one of the better manufacturers in terms of honestly. So I guess because the candle wax industry is so under-regulated most manufacturers aren’t required to give out much information about what’s in their products. I just assume mostly everything has paraffin in it now lol

Yay!! Great review thank you!

Awwwe…Mr Wonderful…I’ve been looking for you 🥰
Perfect timing! I am about to test with Soy 10 with Eco wick. Thank you!!

Hy, if I'm using soy 10 wax eco wick what size you recommend for 8oz containers but fill to 6oz..pls let me know..thanks
Great video thanks! Wish we got cdn wicks in the UK to try

Could you tell me how much beeswax you put in with your mixture of soy 10 to work with wicks little better? What is the ratio?
So you combine soyv10 with another beewax... thanks
Thanks for sharing! Does anyone know which wicks are best for Soy 10 and the 3" Libbey Jars to start with?!?!
I love soy 10 and so far California candle supply has the best prices specially shipping prices to south Florida 😞
Hi Erica I love your Channel I have a question what Wicks are you currently using for your 13 Oz vessels, what wax are you currently using?
Hi! We’re still using soy 10, and add in some beeswax to some of our vessels too, and we use CDN wicks!

Can you do a review of the coconut apricot crème wax please!!!!

Does soy 10 still look pretty after multiple burns? I currently use Coco83 and I love everything about it except jar adhesion.
Yes! That’s definitely something I should have included
Hello..I know you have hundreds of messages and might not be able to answer..I know you make container candles as I do but I also make cake candles and desert candles with lots of embeds..Do you think Accu Soy 10 would work for these type of candles?
Can u combine soy10 w a small percentage of 464??
What is the cure time for soy 10 . I didn’t see it on the site .
It’s soy so about two weeks is recommended!
What is the difference with CD wicks vs CDN? Do you think CD wicks would work well with this wax?
I prefer CD wicks with Soy 10 but CDNs work fine. Keeping your FO percentage btwn 8 and 9%

Cdn burn slightly cooler.
thank you very helpful
Where do u get this wax from? What size are your jars and what wicks do u get for those jars and wax?
I have all the suppliers linked in my description
So sorryv..I did see where u listed it
Hi Erica! Can you give a review of Soy bliss? 1617 carries it.
It performs very similar to Soy 10 but I think it's slightly more premium than Soy 10. It's whiter in color and looks prettier. HT is very similar to Soy10. In my opinion Soy 10 has a better HT. If Soy Bliss wasn't as expensive, I'd use it but the whiteness isn't enough to justify the price. If you are going for premium luxe candles.. then maybe.
Awesome! What website/template did you use for your website?
This is something I’m actually choosing to keep private, I hope you understand! ❤️
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo All good! Check out my test footage. I'm an aspiring film maker based in Pico,CA. If you're up to collab on any kind of film ideas let me know!
Where do u purchase your F/O
Can you do a video sharing your experience with Coco 83? Thanks
Definitely can add this idea to my list!
Thanks!
Can you use soy 10 for wax melts?
I wouldn’t, it’s meant for container wax so it’s too soft for melts
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Thank you so much for sharing have a wonderful beautiful amazing day Erica 🥰🥰🥰🥰
How long do you cure your candles?
About 5-7 days! But the HT can be really good after even just 24-48 hours!
@@MemoryBoxCandleCohello. I’m using the wax in a 9 oz straight sided jar. I follow all the instructions. I test it in the 10 oz tin with 2 eco 2 burn good but no HT. I’m sooo lost. Plz any suggestion ?
Have to add the con of pricing going up but that’s expected😂
Yeah honesty I was gonna add that and then I was like well then that’s a con with literally every other wax then as well 😆
Cdn wicks are the best
Love them!
What are cdn's? Are they similar to cd wicks?

The reason why Soy10 is good is because it contains a small amount paraffin, so it is less healthy than 100 % soy
