Thank you so much for this I’ve just ordered one in the U.K. and I’m so excited. I was looking at paying the same price as the digiboiler for the 9l (but it’s 16l but the same style pot) one you have but from a candle company so I’m so glad you put this video up I’m so grateful. ❤
A power surge, or transient voltage, is an increase in voltage significantly above the designated level in a flow of electricity. In normal household and office wiring in the United States, the standard voltage is 120 volts. If the voltage rises above 120 volts, there is a problem, and a surge protector helps prevent surges from damaging your electronics. what matters is the breaker you may have 15 amp outlets standard in most rooms or 20 amp found mostly in garages kitchens bathrooms.
So if I set the digiboil to 185 degrees are you saying that the wax inside is actually about 10-15 degrees higher than what it’s reading on the outside?
1000 watt is for when you have if complete full of wax you also need to keep enough wax for you not to get the e3 code the e3 code is for when the level of the wax is to low, remember you bought something that is use for beer making so you are using it for wax so you are going to have to make adjustments so that you don't get the codes for beer making. 500 watts is great for wax but you will need to make sure to keep the level up on it so that you don't get the codes.
Thank you Erica for all your great videos! Love your generosity in sharing all the information. I’m looking to buy a digiboil and would like to have an option of buying them somewhere in Europe. The ones I’ve found here are for brewing and I’m not sure how different they are with the digiboils which are fitted for the melting wax. Would you have any ideas of the differences? Would the ones for brewing also work for wax?
Hi did you have to retrofit this. I have been reading that some get leaking. Keg Factory has one retrofitted for wax melting. I’d this the one you got and if not did you need to retrofit to avoid leaking?
Lol at surging your electricity… surging your appliance with power that is not within its requirements bracket … really informative video thanks as alsways
Should I use a different Digiboil for different waxes? More specifically is the wax going to be contaminated enough to alter anything if I use one Digiboil for a wax and then empty and clean it with alcohol and then use a different wax,then go back to my main wax? I have a wax that I mainly use right now but I would like to test other waxes in larger quantities.
I recently bought a Digiboil after watching this video and having a bad experience with one I bought on Amazon. I almost canceled my Digiboil order after learning about the E3 error but decided to take a chance. I've had it for about a week now and the first time I tried it I instantly got the E3 error. I had set it to 185F and it just wouldn't work. What I do now is I have to gradually increase the heat. When I turn it on I will set it to about 65-75F and then gradually increase it by 10 degrees. I'll give it a 2-4 minutes and then increase by 10 degrees until I get to my desired temp, which is about 172F. Doing this gradual increase has helped me avoid the E3 error so far.
thanks for the video. Just wondering, do you just dump wax in and then pour into a pouring pitcher on a scale or weigh the wax first and then dump it in? Im not sure what the most efficient way is to make candles. I've been using pouring into a pitcher on a scale the past year
Is that the normal DigiBoil or the one on their site that says it's specifically for candle making? The candle making one is $100 more and I can't see a difference in the picture.
Hi Erica! Love your channel. Question, I am new to candle making and am struggling with my presto pot. I measure out the wax in solid form but once it melts in the presto pot, I don't have enough wax to fill my candle. Is there a different measurement or any ideas why the solid vs melted wax amount is different?
Hi! 💙 Are you only putting enough wax to make one candle in the presto pot at a time? Melted wax and solid wax weigh the same, but if you are only putting a small amount in the presto pot at a time, there could be wax residue sticking to the pot which could result in a different weight
@@morojas106 oh yes I would definitely fill it out at least half way! That’s the whole purpose of the presto pot is to be able to melt a large amount of wax at one time and then measure the liquid wax in the pitcher on a scale :)
When measuring the temp on the digiboil, are you checking the temp in the digiboil before pouring it to the pouring pitcher or checking it after you pour into the pitcher? I am having trouble finding a thermometer long enough to measure to the bottom of the tank.
Yes! I check it was a contactless laser thermometer! (It’s not 100% accurate though, it usually says that it’s 5-10 degrees hotter than it is so I just take that into account when I measure!) Ps you don’t need to touch the bottom, the bottom is actually the hottest part so you could just stick the probe in about 1/3-1/2 way and get an accurate result!
Thank you so much for your videos! you're energy and bubbly personally really makes it enjoyable to follow along :) Love the Digi!!! Using mines for the first time right now! :) \
Can you please share where you bought your digiboil at? The link offered is for kegland i think but my computer is saying it has possible viruses or its unsafe... so Im just trying to find a good reputable place to buy one.
@@anarihahn5723not all candles need two weeks. Paraffin based waxes cure within a few days (I try to keep them around 5 days but will let them go sooner for shipments)
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Do you drain it completely before cooling/ turning it off? I am having E3 errors also because of the solid mass of unmelted wax. Can't get it to just keep powering through and continuing the melt.
@@chezlapin9714 Following. Im also having the same issue with getting a E3 with previous melted wax. I can smell the strong scent like it's trying to melt but then gives the E3 error message.
Great video! I really don't want to be "that guy"....but I believe you have the height and circumference numbers reversed at 2:19. It can't possibly be 40" around. I am guessing it's 40" tall, with a circumference of 27". Sorry.
Todd a 40 inch circumference would mean that it has a diameter of about 13 inches, which seems right. I think you are confusing circumference with diameter.
@@philippserrin8268 Quite possible. I've been wrong once or twice. lol. If this is the same one that her link points to, the website states the outside dimensions as External Dimensions: 29" H x 15" W (including handles) Internal Dimensions: 19.5" H x 11.75" W

You could apply sugru to that exposed metal handle on your new melter to protect your fingers! It’s mouldable silicone that air-dries 😄

Hey Erica! I’ve just bought the exact same digiboil. How do you battle an E3 error because of the density of the wax and when it becomes solid?
Hello! I am also having the same E3 error. I suspect it is trying to avoid overboiling the wax (what is melted). Any ideas on how to avoid this issue?

Do you leave your wax in the digiboil when you’re not using it?
Hi! Can this melter be used for melting soap base?
Thank you Erica. I am going to get a Digiboil. Can you please tell me what is the melt temp for beewax please.
When you pour your wax into your pouring pot how do you keep your wax warm enough. Mine drops 30° as soon as I pour.
That stand you have next to it would that hold two digiboil wax melters or would that be too dangerous?
Is that the normal DigiBoil or the one on their site that says it's specifically for candle making? The candle making one is $100 more and I can't see a difference in the picture.
Would you use the digiboiler for beeswax? Is there much of a difference between the digiboiler and the new one in the middle other than the size?

Get a can of Plasti-dip and spray it on that metal handle to coat it easily.
what about the smell is there a strong smell of wax when using digiboil?

Hello there👋, can I ask a question cus I'm new here. How long do you need to keep your candle after making and before selling out?
Candles needs a cure for at least two weeks
I have a candle business also
@@anarihahn5723not all candles need two weeks. Paraffin based waxes cure within a few days (I try to keep them around 5 days but will let them go sooner for shipments)

We are getting E3 messages all the time. Great if anyone have a fix for it or a way of heating perhaps that avvoids it?
Link for your new melter unmentioned Amazon, what brand
The small one in the middle on the stand? I have it linked in my bio but last I checked it was unavailable on amazon ☹️
I bought one on Amazon. It holds 19lbs of wax. Make sure to seal the spout and tightening it before using
Take a drink every time you hear the word "actually".
Do you use Celsius?
Fahrenheit :)
