Erica you are the 💣.. you are the FIRST TH-cam candle maker this has been extremely honest with your viewers about making candles.
I try to be as honest as possible! ☺️ thank you! ❤️
Forgot to add the amt of FO. With coco83 I heat to about 220, add FO immediately, stir couple seconds until clear and pour hot. Beautiful smooth tops. I haven't used color yet, I love the creamy white in my black jars.
Can you tell A to Z how to make the candles and what is name of colors and fergrasing chemical...
@Jaché Sharnise I have a presto pot.
@Jaché Sharnise I do but there are different coconut wax blends that are quite nice too. It comes down to whatever one you like best.
So in coconut wax, the best time to pour the fragrance at 220°f nd we should add the fragrance oil immediately?. Is that right? Cmiiw ❤️ thx, I just learn to use that wax
And how many % should we add the fragrance oil?
It can get very tricky to work with this wax as you'll find it can get very hard to wick, especially with sugary FOs. It is best to mix it with a low % of beeswax or some other component that will make it more stable. The color and smoothness of it is absolutely great. The CT and HT are for the most part great.
I love that you made a little mistake because it helped me learn
I switched waxes recently and the Virgin Soy & Coconut wax I purchased is SUCH a pleasure to work with! I don’t know why I didn’t switch sooner? I researched for months in preparation and was aware that working with soy was more difficult. But the issues I had to fix after my candles had fully solidified were making me crazy! My goal is to align with my “cleaner candle philosophy,” after suffering over 8 yrs of chronic illness and making a multitude of healthy changes. The nightmare of soy wax issues is over! I was truly amazed with the difference and couldn’t be more pleased with the results! My initial joy with candle making has returned! 🙌🏻🎉 I also have Apricot Creme wax to try as well. Exciting! Your candles turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Erica! 🙏🏻💞🕊💗🕯
Ahh that’s so cool! I love that you are wanting to make “cleaner” candles! That’s definitely something I strive for as well. What is the virgin soy & coconut wax you’re using? ☺️ is it just called “virgin soy & coconut wax” ?
Hi Erica,
She may be referring to the Virgin Coconut Soy at “Woodenwick.com. They also sell the Coco-Apricot Creme wax which is what I use. Excellent waxes.
Thank you! ❤️
I watch lots of videos on making candles and they put me to sleep. I like yours . Your fill of energy and happy . Thank you 👍
I love using Coco83, I get smooth tops good glass adhesion, great CT/HT. I live 30 min from Cal Candle Supply I always get my wax and some FO from them.
I love hearing that! I’m really excited to do a burn test! ❤️
Ohhh boyy i am jealous ladies. I live in NY 😭 and Shipping cost is killing me to order my coco83 from them
What’s your method of working with this wax? I’ve heard it’s pretty difficult . Do you have a specific formula?
Does it also smell like coconut?
@@Gigiethechoublaklady I'm from the Netherlands and I can't even buy it and in the Netherlands everything is harder to find or it is really expensive.
You are the best...you thought me so much. I can’t wait to start my candle business. Thanks for this video.
It’s more because of the fragrance oil & dye 😁
The little flakes are the coating around the wick, it falls of sometimes when you pour the hot wax into the jars
It overflowed more because of the 9% fragrance volume plus the dye wax 👍🏾
So happy you reviewed this kit before I purchased it
I just got my coconut wax in the mail a couple days ago and I’m sooo nervous but sooo excited!😭🙏🏼 this was a great video I enjoyed it so much thank you !
Don’t be nervous! Have fun! ❤️❤️
Hey when you got it was it melted or too soft? I wanna start making candles with coconut wax but im afraid of shipping them out...thanks!
Nice! But what about the burning? I would like to know about that
At wha temperature do you bring it to and what temp do you put the fragrance in at? I’ve been doing melting point 185 and 160 to add scent and pour. Thanks for the advice!
Thank you Erica for sharing this video, I wanted to try coconut wax and now I know if is worthy to do so, like how the candles turned out!🧡
Vinegar in the water will keep you from getting the ring around the metal container.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This has been such an issue 😅
I actually looked up this comment and I just wanna say that IT WORKS! My brand new pouring pitcher didn't fall victim to "the ring". Thank you for the awesome tip!!!
@@MsFairy75 it’s a canning trick I learned. I just started canning a few years ago.
So glad you tried out Coco 83👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Me too!! 💜
You didn’t take the fo into account 😆 what about temp for adding FO and pour temp isn’t that important too .. looking forward to your test review of ht 😍
You pour immediately with this wax. Stir for 15 -20 secs
Hi. Have you used essentials oils in your wax? I bought a coconut blend pillar. Its my first time making tea light candles for my self.. Everything is much easier just plain😅
I tried coconut wax
I can’t figure out the exact time to add the fragrance to get a really good got throw.
My cold throw is phenomenal..
I get minimal to NO hot throw. And I’ve used fragrances from over 8 companies. Very frustrating, but your videos give me hope.
If your using coconut 83 heat wax up to about a little pass 200 like 205 pour fragrance oil at 200 for a stronger hot throw let it slowly cool down to 190 then slowly pour you can use 1 to 1.5 ounces fragrance oil per pound of wax but if you want a strong scent add 1.5 ounces
@@JaJa123_ so when we should pour the FO? 200°f or 190°f? Sorry, I'm still learn on it. Thank youu
@@icekicek1113 Add fragrance at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and pour wax into jar at 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
@@icekicek1113 Its ok we are all learning I still am.
@@JaJa123_ thank you so much!
After doing both, which do you prefer the soy#10 or the Coco83 if you had to choose? Do you think the Coco83 is a good alternative when soy10 is not available?
Adding this to my list of waxes to buy. Thank you so much for this awesome review!
You’re welcome! ☺️
Unfortunately that link isn't working but thanks for sharing this videos I've been learning a lot from you. Thank you once again
Fragrance, I was waiting for the light to go on lol
I really enjoyed this video 😊❤️
Erica can you please share how to store the wax and FO for a long period of time when we dont use it in a couple months? thank you
Thank you! I tried Wooden Wick Co. this weekend .
What did you think ?!
Kinda of disappointed 😔 it feels like I’m wasting so much wax testing .
Awww 😔
Sometimes it can feel that way, but you’re learning so think of it as you’re paying to learn! It’s just hard when the supplies is expensive so I understand
Fragrance oil adds volume/weight
HEY ERICA i wanted to know how do you pack a single candle (jar and tin)
please reply !!
Wait how long did you wait to pour the wax in the jar? Did you did it right away after you pour the fragrance?
do you have to pour fragrance at a specific temperature?
I haven't watched the video yet but i can tell you. You will love this wax.
I already really like it! Can’t wait to burn test it this weekend ☺️ how long do you usually let it cure for?
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo for wick testing 24 to 48 hours.
This ! Yessssssss
I’ve always wanted to try this wax
I have a question, what is the difference between soy and coconut wax? Do they burn the same? Thanks
Did the wicks kind of softened as you pour the wax due to high temp? I am using a blend of coconut wax and beeswax and the first time I pour it, its about 170F and the eco wick I'm using softened and eventually detached from its tab. I tried pouring at 160F to 170F but its still the same like the eco wicks are melting. Now I'm thinking that the only wick I can use is wood wick 😔
How long did this whole process take real time?
what fragrance oil is good to combine with sandalwood . How would you combine it in measurements to make seven crabshells? Thnak you in advance.
I love vanilla or rose & patchouli!
And you can use this formula to find out how much wax and FO you’ll need:
th-cam.com/video/VhjipDG6avo/w-d-xo.html
(The percentage of each scent is up to you!)
Lol. Your jot at the new pitcher...... how often do you replace yours?
how do you clean the pouring pitcher between fragrances? just wiping it down or do you have to do anything else?
Personally I just wipe it down :)
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo thank you :)
I just found your video but it seems like California candle doesn’t sell the starter kit anymore. Do you have any other suggestions on any starter kits you have tried?
The volume for the oil wasn't added to the 300g of wax
Hey how are you
How long does it take for the wax to liquidfy?
Where did you buy your wicks?
is Coconut 83 the same type that wooden wick co makes Virgin Coconut Soy w/ food grade parrafin. Im having a hard time with this wax and they don't seem to have this labeled as a specific type of wax
Hi Nicole, Great video. Are you still using the Coconut 83?
Welcome to the Coco83 family! I love it - better than soy :)
I cannot wait to play around with it more and do some test burns! ☺️
Does coconut wax make wet spot and shrink inside the container after time goes?
How do I stop the tops from flaking? U mentioned it happening but didnt say how to fix it
Hey Erica, Hope all is well... I have a question : when using the formula ( how much Fragrance oil to the wax). Can you use the same formula for all types of waxes ... soy, Parafin, soy mix??
Yes :)
Memory Box Candle Co Thank you! 😊 Sorry I got one more question b/c I’m having a problem once the candle is lit .... I faintly smell the fragrance.... when heating up ur wax .... can u leave the temperature gauge in the pouring pot while waiting for it to reach the correct heating temperature
L M yes you can!
Memory Box Candle Co I truly appreciate you! Thanks so Much! There’s not many ppl out there like you ..... Your one of a Kind 😉 .... Sharing ur Knowledge most ppl won’t ...... so again I appreciate you!
What was scent throw like?
Have you ever work with essential oil?
Great job!!
Thank you!!
Another great video. 👍
Thank you Michael!
U are the best.
What was your pouring temperature for that wax ?
Thank you so much
What are you using for holding your wicks? They look like cotter pins? I am having trouble finding something that works well for larger containers.
Yes they’re cotter pins! ☺️
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo where did you find such big ones?
I made the same facial expression that you made when that jar slipped out your hand🤣
😂
It was more because of the fragrance oil added more
Die Chips and Fragrance Oil was added..
What size wicks did u use
I am definitely making a chocolate scent for my store. Does the coconut wax smell like coconut?
No it just smells like wax 😇 I always wondered the same thing haha
Did she make a part two?
how did you get the calculation from 1oz to 9% fo? is there a formula to follow?
Check this video out!
th-cam.com/video/VhjipDG6avo/w-d-xo.html
You forgot about the weight of the FO LOL I do that all the time
Could you put a link for your thermometer in the description box?
Oh yes I will! So sorry :)
I use this one: calcandlesupply.com/commercial-grade-thermometer/
Do you also add the FO at 190? Doesn’t it evaporate?
I like to add in my FO around 180-190. And no, that’s a myth :)
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo and at what temperature did you pour the coconut wax in the jars ?
hm is that kit 🥰i wish i can buy like that but. im so broke
Time 14:44 - it over flowed because you didn't account for the fragrance oil weight only the wax weight! I hope I'm right :)
Yes!
what kind of scale do you have?
Kitchen scale/gram scale :)
Overflowed because of perfume added?
What is the pouring point...???
Overflowed because of the addition of the fragrance oil?
Yes!
How was the sent throw when you lit it up?
The hot throw was actually pretty good! I tested in my bathroom
So I am starting my own candle business any tips for me
Start with a candle making kit!!
@@felenciayoung8067 I did
What wax are u currently working with?
Soy 10 and ccs#12 :)
Who edits your TH-cam videos? 😍
I do! 💜
maybe for the color was melted?
Lol you didn't add the FO weight 🤪
FYI the Amazon affiliate link isn’t clickable in your description box. I want you to get your coins girl! ☺️
Oh no! Which one? 😅
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo amazon.com/shop/memoryboxcandleco
I mix pure coconut wax and soy for my candles💜 coconut wax is my favorite..so creamy smooth
Sounds heavenly 😍
Where do you purchase your pure coconut wax?
The fragrance made it more
you didn't add in the fragrance oil amount lol
Good evening! I messaged you the other day stating I was trying to start making my own candles and since then I have been watching your vids and taking notes! I have a question about your name. You told me that you chose it and then used it as your Etsy store name and that was it, no legal matters in play. How would you make sure that no one steals it and makes it their name for their company, I have created my name for my shop and wonder when I start selling if anyone could steal it? Thank you! 💕
You can get a DBA to make sure no one takes it :)
Memory Box Candle Co I have no idea what that is but I will look into that lol, thank you very much and thank you for all of your content! I will for sure buy from your shop. Saturday Morning Cartoons is sounding like a memory to me for sure! 💕
Even if you don’t have an LLC you can still get it as a sole proprietorship! Check out legalzoom for information on it, I don’t know if that’s the cheapest way to go but I learned a lot just browsing the website :)
Aww yes that’s one of my favs! 💜
Memory Box Candle Co thank you, I will do that! 💕💕
Does coco 83 wax have paraffin in it ?
Yes it has a little bit of food grade paraffin
Yes, it does have paraffin. I personally think it is much more than "a small amount of food grade paraffin" as stated in the literature. Mine smokes after about 30 minutes regardless of the wick I use. And the burn is not as clean in the atmosphere as soy or soy/coconut.
Duh, you forgot the weight of the FO. Lol. You are too funny 😁
You forgot to add the weight of fragrance oil. Also girl, you totally got a 4 lb pitcher! They must love you and know you’ve been wanting another pitcher
Right! 😅 totally a 4lb one!
Mine didn’t have any of those flakes at all! How interesting 🧐
🤔🤔🤔
Your total liquid weight wax not 300g but 329g because you forgot to add 30g (1oz) of FO. So each candle’s weight 164.5g actually, not 159g. 😉 Ooops, just saw you corrected yourself. LOL. Thank you for great videos!
You had extra because of adding the FO
You didn't deduct the fragrance oil from the wax....lol.....thank you for making the mistake....makes me feel much better for doing it.....LOL
Yes that looks like a 4 pound pitcher 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I think your right
Didn’t figure in the fragrance oil
Fragrance oil
Hi I know it’s a shot in the dark but as I am from the uk 🇬🇧 I see one of your videos when your yes 8oz white tins they are so nice but can not find them in the uk 🇬🇧 but if you can buy some I will pay you for them so if you can help me please it would be so nice 👍
Fragrance load made it more
The fragrance oil made it more lol
Yes! 😅
Frangrance oil !!
Yes!
fragrance oil, ma’am! lol!!
😅
