    Feedback for Coogar: if this machine doesn’t have an agitator, consider adding one to the next iteration. Wax temps vary pretty significantly from the wax closest to where the heating element is versus the wax in the middle of the tank. An agitator would keep temps significantly more consistent throughout the holding tank.

    You had me at the part that the machine knows when to stop pouring. This is definitely something to aspire to and is added to my scaling plan. And you're right. You can make lots of money but you can't get time back!

    I actually messaged Cougar with the following questions and never got a response. I'm wondering if maybe you have the answers.
    Just using GW 464 as an example. We melt the wax and add fragrance at around 180 degree and stir for about 1-2 minutes, but we pour at 135-140 degrees. With this machine the mixing temp and pouring temp are the same since it is all happening at once minus the stirring. Will this impact the quality of the candle or the bonding of the fragrance to the wax? If not, is the pouring temp, mixing temp, stir times all hogwash?

    Right now I make about 12-20 Candles a month. I am enjoying the experience. I have been doing this for about 8 months now. I haven't sold one candle yet. LOL. Actually I haven't attempted to sell candles. I have been just giving them away to various people, my cleaning lady, my neighbors, family, friends. They only think I have been asking in return is feedback. I am getting close to the point where I am getting comfortable producing repeatable outcomes. So it won't be long before I can make my first buck. BTY. This is just fun for me. Not looking at this time for huge returns. Just might be a little retirement thing for me in the future. I want to thank you for your videos. You are encouraging all the way. There were times I would be frustrated but watching your videos seems to keep me on track. You are right. We are our own worse critics. Thank you again.

    3 weeks ago I had 2 candles I had puchased that had enough wax left in both to make one candle. I decided to figure out how to melt candle wax to make the one candle. I am now watching every one of your videos and have just placed my first order for tester wicks and 1 oz sample kit now looking for tester jars. So that's where I am in this journey, and after seeing this video realizing that if you follow a few rules and learn the craft you could potentially be in need of that machine sooner than later. I'm hooked!

    Wow. This is super cool! How does it mitigate the difference in mixing temp vs pouring temp? If it mixes in the jar, is it not being poured too hot? Any concerns about the mixing process not being as long? Are there waxes this may not be a good fit for? I have so many questions about the actual mechanics of this machine and process! LOL fellow geek about this kind of stuff. I'm always the but how does it work person. Down the rabbit hole I go!
    Seriously big congrats to you. This was a hard earned investment for your business and I hope to make it there myself someday.
    I'm making around 20 candles a month because I'm in the late testing phase for my business I hope to launch in September so I'm going to ramping up big time this week. This machine is definitely a goal I'm writing down for the future.
    Thank you for all you do and share. You have surely changed many lives by making information that was once gate kept by the experienced, so folks like us can start up for a bit less financial investment. I'm referring to all the testing we get to skip to learn the very basics because folks like you have been down that road and shared what did and didn't work, allowing us to make better educated guesses from the start. I'm grateful for you and the other chandlers like yourself on YT. I would be where I am right now without your channel and by proxy, YOU! So Thank YOU.

    • @BlackTieBarn

      Hey Heather. I actually just answered this same question so will paste the same answer below.
      Its a good question (i was curious about this as well years ago) and the short answer is.... you really don't need to with a machine like this.
      Temp is WAY less important with machines like this in terms of when to add FO. Because it mixes so much efficiently grams at a time so it mixes well at any temp. So with equipment like this. The key is basically setting your tank temp to your pour temp. In the batches I made in the video, I set to 140. But will depend on your specific wax. And of course testing with your wax

    I love the idea of this machine! I am confused about the fragrance though. I thought you were supposed to stir the fragrance in for a minute or two to incorporate in into the wax. Can you clarify this for me? Thanks so much.

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  2 года назад +1

      Hey Candace! Check the other comments and answers on this one. It was asked a few times and I answered with some detail this. But it basically boils down to the difference in someone hand mixing vs a pumper mixing by the gram rather than hand Stirring in a pouring pot. There is a LOT of false information about when to add FO and how much to stir. But again it's mostly because of the difference in scale and efficiency. All larger scale businesses are mixing this way. It's designed to work thst way. :)

    How do you know if the fragrance oil is evenly distributed thorugh the candle? Is that something that the machine monitors? It's a very nice piece of kit! Think of all the time you will get back by having this. Bravo!

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  Год назад +1

      Is adding grams of fragrance to grams of wax at a time. Literally fishing then together as you go. In other words... much more efficient and better mixed than we could do by hand even if we stirred for an hour. 🤣

    Awesome tool! You have inspired me to start a small candle company with my autistic daughter. I have two questions. With liquid color dye, if a single 10oz candle uses 3 drops of blue and 1 drop of black, do you just multiply that for 5 x 10oz candles (15 blue/ 5 black), or does that scale in a different way?
    So concerning that tool, how does it handle temp? If you mix scent at 180 degree and pour at 140 degree, does this machine just do it at a single temp? If so, do you blend high or low? I ask as I use Soy and if I pour before 140 degree I have issues.
    And ya, I am still at the pouring 4 to 6 at a time... about to make our first real batch of 120 candles for our first pop-up. Wish us luck!

      Thanks Tim. Not so much a myth more of major exaggeration. But that when hand mixing it does take longer and more heat. You just don't need to worry about it with this kind of pumper.

  • @jarsofjoyllc
    @jarsofjoyllc 8 месяцев назад

    Dumb question...so when making candles, you usually add the FO at a higher temperature, mix, then wait to pour at a lower temp. With this machine, aren't you pouring at too high of a temp before letting the wax and FO bind and cool before putting it in the jars?

Can people do this on a small scale, I mean mix F/O and color and store them; if so how long could you store the mix for. If this is possible it opens up more ease of streamlining small batches. Love the info thanks.

    Hi i am medium sized candle and home fragrance company selling to department stores and better home good stores and i looked into this machine and a couple others and what i found to be disappointing is the warranty its to short for the capitol outlay i do know of some other companies which are similar in size to mine that use the cougar machine or machines by waxmelters inc and seem to be doing well with them .. but we decided to make our own with computerized dispensing heads and made four machines for around 2000 each that have done a great job as we pour 6000 pieces per run per day x 4 so in a nut shell if you cannot afford this machine there always are other options to speeding up a production line and many of the liquid filling machines can have heated elements added to pour wax..

      @BlackTieBarn  2 года назад

      Haven't had it long enough to tell you how support is. I've heard mixed feedback. Mine has been fine so far. Maintenance.... not much. Clean up as needed of course. They recommend flipping around the nozzle periodically which is easy. And they also sent extra tapered washers to replace as needed. Haven't needed to but there if you need them. Not sure what else. Does come with a warranty but can't recall specifics at the moment.
