- Hey besties! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am so ecstatic to see what this year has in store for you and I. I am completely sold out once again + WE made it well past 100 subscribers now, wow. THANK YOU!!
In this video I give you a glimpse of what a production day look likes for me. It's a very repetitive process that I still find so rewarding. Candle making is just so therapeutic for me. Even on the days where I feel overwhelmed I take time to step back to remember why I started this journey.
**Be sure to always check your flashpoints on your FO when adding in fragrance at higher temps**
Later in the week I will be posting how I make my labels, give me other candle ideas you'll like to see in the comment section!

Thank you so much! I'm trying!
Where company did you get the jars from??
You so kind and awesome, I L❤VE your voice!!!
I’ve always used coconut 83 and wanted to just try coconut soy so got some golden brands 454 which wax is this you’re using🕯️
How much wax did you use What temp did you get the temp to and and how much scent did you add to that amount ? thank you
New subbie here! Totally enjoying your content so far!
I appreciate you!!!
Thank you so much for the video. I poured some candles last week but the ht is not strong and it reached full melt pool by 2.5 to 3 hrs. So, I’ll wick down. Btw I love the background music
What percentage FO did you use?
New subscriber here!! Just got 45 pounds of coconut wax!
So exciting!!! How's it going??
Great video! Where did you get your vessels from?
Love your videos!!! Did you use a double 4 CDN Wick? I brought the same vessels ( 18 oz )
Thank you!! & yes 2 cdn 5’s or 2 cdn 4’s, depends on the fragrance.
Hi,
Can you please mention what wicks you use with the sizes of jars. I’m having difficulty finding good wicks for the size jars I want to use. Everyone is saying different things.
hi there! finally switching over to coconut soy blend wax from 464 bc i could never get a strong throw and always had surface imperfections. Which fragrance company do you recommend for a really strong hot throw?? i’m also interested in using wooden wicks instead of cotton
I use SOOO many different vendors for fragrance oil! Candle Science is a great place to start. They have great concentrated scents. Along with, Nature's Garden, Midwest Fragrance, Lone Star and so many others. You have to start off by getting their tester sizes usually 1 to 2oz to sniff test. This was the only way I determined my FO.
This video just centered me .❤candle making feeling stressed out thanks
What size are these jars girly? And what's your fill line oz?
Cool video! I've also started making candles and showcasing it on TH-cam.😍
I'll check you out!
What is the size of these white jars at the end of the video?
I am using virgin coco soy -- 9.5 oz vessel --- looking for a wick that burns the edge/ strong heat throw. I have use the Jastore 12.5 oz. Libbey Candle Container & tried the CD/CDN wicks 6,8,10,12 --- Do you have recommendations?
There are so many factors that go into play. What FO percentage load are using and what is the exact diameter of your jar? Are you allowing the candle to burn to the edges on the very first burn? Off experience it sounds like you should try double wicking if the jar is more than 3.5 in and if not wick up. I use CDN 12" and 14" for my 10oz jar, depending on the FO. NOTE: If your candle can burn for 4+ hours and fmp remains between 1/4" - 1/2" then you have found your wick.
I’ve binge watched your videos. I’m in the testing phase but do you find the wooden spoons holds the prior fragrance? I’m using metal and just wondering. I see my other questions answered in comments 😊
I buy multiple wooden spoons to have for each fragrance. But I also wash them after each use, some of the scents linger and some go away after a good soak. I also use metal spoons or whatever is in reach lol.
@@viewsofayona lol ok. Thank you for responding!
hey, do I have to wait for the wax to cure 1 or 2 weeks? I will start testing in some days and this info would really help me
hi i loved your video, but i have a question, that coconut soy wax, is it sold like that? or is it soy wax mixed with cocunut wax, or how’s that ordeal haha, i’m very curious about that, hope you find time to answer, sending you lots of love and light 🤍✨🏹
Yes it comes in slab form. Recently I found a few companies you can source it from in flakes now though.
which wax is this? super smooth tops
Have you ever made essential oil candles??? Also van you link your business?
I have not, not yet at least. My candle business: www.soyaya.co
Thank you posting this!! Please where do you get your wax from and the fragrance oil used?
I use a plethora of different fragrance oil companies. My favorite for the past few months has been Midwest Fragrance right now.
Hi Ayona, love your vessels and your videos. What wicks have you found that works for you with that size jar.
th-cam.com/video/fFcA6esUH7g/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful candles and perfect branding!
Can you share your wax supplier? I am on the hunt for a new one.
The wooden wick co... now known as Makesy have increased their Virgin Coco Soy from $145/44lbs to $205.
Thank you so much! I have to shop around these days! I no longer shop with "wooden wick co" for wax, only FO. But right now I use Hive and Honey Candle Co and they are $130.50 + shipping for 47lbs! Not sure what coast you are on but try General Wax and as well.
@@viewsofayona Thank you --- I think I bought from them in the beginning + another company soy to blend it myself. I do have to try "wooden wick" fragrances
@ayona why do y you buy wax from Makesy anymore?
Where do you get your vessels from?
What temperature are you pouring your wax at? And what is the vessel temperature
Same question I have. Has she replied??
Can you pour your fragrance oil with Coconut Apricot Creme wax at that same temperature as well? Because I'm having problems with my scent throw and its soooo frustrating that I can't get a strong hot throw.
What kind of wicks are you using and what is your percentage fragrance load? Although I do not sell that wax I have played around with it and noticed coconut waxes perform better when heated to higher temps - 200 works for me but some say 210-225° is best. Use a presto pot if you can because with a double boiler, you'll never get the wax hot enough. Once you reach your desired temp of 210-225°, add your scent, stir about 1-2 minutes then pour.
@@viewsofayona I use a 0.2 wooden wick from Wooden Wick Company. And my fragrance load is a 12% fragrance load with a 12 oz vessel. And ok, I will try heating my wax to those temps that you stated and will mix for 1-2 minutes and pour right after. I was thinking maybe I need to lower my fragrance load to about 8? Because even when I did a 10% fragrance load, the hot throw was still weak. Thank you for your help!
@@jimmyboney7173 Ok awesome so I assume you are using the 12 oz aura vessels. I would try a 5 day and a 2 week cure with 8 and 9% FO & a .02 crackling booster wick .75 - Remember the longer you cure the better the HT. Less is more with FO + 12% FO could have been an overload and clogging the wick.
@@viewsofayona Thank you for your response back. And yes I am using a 12 oz aura vessel with a 0.2 crackling booster wick 625. I will try the .75 as you suggested. Will also try the 5 day and 2 week cure along with the 8 and 9% F/O. I did not know less is better. Wow I thought the opposite! I really do appreciate you for all of your help. And I will reach back out to give you an update. Thanks again!!
@English Garden Thank you for this suggestion! I will most definitely try this method, and will come back to let you know how it went. Thanks!
Thanks for info were dud you buy your vessels jars what size are they

Hi, I'm from Brazil and here I use a blend of coconut wax, palm wax and rice wax. Do you know if I can get to that same temperature to add the essence? Thank you so much and congratulations for the channel, for being generous in sharing your experience.
Hello to you all the way in Brazil, that is so cool. Make sure to pay attention to the flash points for each of your fragrances before pouring at higher temps. I think each scent is unique and you'll only know by testing. I hope this helps :)
@@viewsofayona thanks for the help. A big hug
did i miss it? what wicks did you go with for double wicking?
CDN 4!
Ty💖
Hi! Thank you for the detailed video! Can i ask when your candles are finished are they have smooth tops, or u using heatgun on them?
Smooth tops every single time using Calwax EC26. I have never had to use a heat gun with this wax.
@@viewsofayona Thank you! 😊
Hi, What size wicks did you use for the 3 wick jars?
CDN size 3!
What temperature do you pour ?😊
Which wax blend company is it?
Thanks for the video!! What percentage of FO you use for virgin coconut soy wax?? TIA
Anywhere from 8 to 11%
What size wick are you using for the one you're double wicking?
CDN 4!
Do you heat the pitcher before pouring the wax in it
Not always but if it's extremely cold in the room I'm working in, which is rare I will take my heat gun and heat it up a bit before adding in the wax.
Is the oil strong for you? Some people get headaches with this oils when making them
Yes, certain scents do give me headaches now.
Do you buy labels from online labels ?
I buy them from sheetlabels!
Was that water in your presto pot before you put in your wax? If so why add water
No, it was not water. It was just a time lapse of the melted wax and me adding in more as it melted.
Where do you buy your fragrances?

Wait, so what temperature do you add your FO in?
Depends on the fragrance oil. Some at lower temperatures + some higher depending on the flash points. Each scent I do have a different pouring temp.
@@viewsofayona Omg I never even thought of this!!! 😂 I make them as a hobby but this is great to know!
New subscriber here. Thank you for sharing your melting point for your wax. The manufacturer’s suggestion isn’t working for me.
I honestly never had luck with the manufacturer's suggestions, especially for 464 soy - whew. Let me know if this tip works for you.

Hey what size wick do you use for the double wicked jar?
Hi! CDN size 4 or 5 depending on the FO.
