How HOT Are Your WAX WARMERS? A Temperature Comparison ...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- I decided to do an informal temperature test of all the various warmers I have in my home using an infrared thermometer. I tested various styles of Scensty warmers, as well as Glade, Yankee, Ashland, Mainstays brands , as well as a tea light warmer.

Thank you so much for making this video. It was really helpful.
You're very welcome!
Oh my goodness - This was a perfect video for me right now! As I'm thinking of Christmas gifts, I will definitely reference back to this video! One of my favorite warmers is the Love (white colored) element warmer from Scentsy. I just checked, and it is a 12 watt element warmer. It has a low & wide dish. It throws better than my next favorite warmer, Country Light. After watching this, it now makes sense since it loses heat with the clear glass. But it is so pretty all lit up! I also love the Enjoy the little things mini warmer - I have it in the master bathroom. It is a good reminder to enjoy the little things with my littles! Thank you for another informative, well made video! Smiles, Abby Smith
Abby, it sounds like you are thinking about design etc which is great! That’s what I was hoping people would end up doing after watching this.
I love this info! Thank you. Hot dumping is a fire hazard though so please be careful!
Insightful video, Patricia! We bet your house always smells so amazing! 😊😊
Walmart, it certainly does. Especially the day I filmed this video!
Great video and very informative! I knew the mainstays was hotter then my other warmers but that was really hot! Thx Patricia!
Late seeing this..,yes it gets quite hot. Take care Ramona
Beautiful warmers!! Very interesting results. I liked the "Inspired by Heidi" warmer
You really spoil your subscribers with awesome content! That was so cool! Do you own the Accord by chance? Would be super interested to see how it reads
No I don’t own the Scentsy accord but it’s one I wish I had for this video.
Perhaps I can ask my local consultants to borrow one and test it and add it to the comments section.
Hi Patricia! I'm very late to the game in commenting on this, but I absolutely loved that you took the time to do this testing. I think I mentioned before, my problem with finding the right warmer for melting vendor wax (I'm new to vendor wax so have very limited knowledge about how it all works), and it has taken some time to get the right combination. I'm still not 100% certain I have the right set up, but it works for now.
When I first started warming vendor wax, I did so in a Scentsy warmer, not realizing I was voiding my warranty. Since I was having a problem with the throw, I quickly moved on to the Mainstays hotplate warmer. That didn't work for me because of the very thing you mentioned - it gets too hot. I've since purchased two of the Ashland warmers from Michaels, so that is what I'm using now for vendor wax.
The other interesting thing for me was the duration of the scent in the vendor wax. I have used Scentsy wax for years, so I'm very used to putting 1-2 cubes of wax in my Scentsy warmer and it lasting for several days. I fully expected the vendor wax to do the same thing - it does not. I think I''m getting somewhere between 8-12 hours with the vendor wax before I have to change it out. I think I just became spoiled with Scentsy and didn't even realize it :) I'm loving the vendor wax journey though, so I'm not giving that up any time soon.
Thanks again for the great video!
Well I am still a rookie myself with the vendor wax journey but when my husband surfaced with his new toy, and seeing some warmers “burn” off the scent I wanted to see how hot they all get. At first I just checked them all, but then decided to do an informal video since it also ties in with Tester Tuesday...as some warmers in my big area had their scent evaporate earlier than others. It makes a bit more sense to me now.
It definitely is a juggling act figuring out the right combination of warmers with certain wax styles in your home.
And the sad thing about MOST vendor wax is that it doesn’t last as long as Scentsy. For me the 2 that seem to last the longest lately are VCS and L3 Waxy Wonders.
Good to know on the VCS. I received my first order from them a few weeks ago. I ordered the Ginger Ale sampler, which should be great for Spring/Summer.
Great informative video. Thanks for sharing
Late seeing this...thank you.
Great quality in this video! :) keep it up:)!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
I loved this video 😍
My favorite warmer is the Accord
Thanks Tina. It was one I was excited to do.
Great video. Thank you! I have many Scentsy 25 watt, element and mini warmers. I keep thinking though that I need to get the 40watt Edison bulb warmers to help with scent throw. (Parlour and Country Light). I was hoping this video would help with my decision. I still can’t decide. Scentsy addict problems! 😊
I have the country light warmer and it doesn't throw well at all, tried it all through my house and finally put it in small half bathroom to get any use at all.
I think they don’t get much warmer than some of the 25w bulb warmers. Well, I should say the 40w likely get warmer than the 25w glass ones, but the 25w Scentsy CERAMIC warmers seem to get the hottest. The Edison 40w all seem to have a lot of glass so that causes them to lose heat, bringing them close to the majority of the 25w ones.
I’d say get it if you love the look but it’s probably not going to result in a huge increase in scent throw.
Genevieve Flynn Thank you for that info. I really don’t need another warmer so if the 40watt isn’t going to benefit me at all I won’t order one 👍🏻
Oh yeah, I definitely think you should try one of the 40 watt warmers. I have the Vino (2 of them) and i have the Quill which is a cousin to the parlor. i love both of these warmers. The Quill is sold out, but i think it has the same type of dish as the Parlor which is a concave dish. I used to get allot of wax in there and it gave off a good throw, too. I also want the Country Light and the crystal warmer and the parlor, but i gotta show some restraint...lol. good luck on your choosing. You can't go wrong with either of them, though.
What a fantastic, informative video. Thanks for doing this. I used to use non Scentsy warmers and after about 12-18 hours my wax always smelled burned. I decided to buy and use only Scentsy warmers and that made all the difference I can warm wax for 2-3 days and smells great!
Excellent point about the wax smelling burnt! I’ve definitely smelled that before with the “hotter” warmers. I think it’s because the window is small from having some fragrance oil left to none at all.
I came to your video because I just got the Paloma mini warmer and I thought it was insanely hot. I don’t have the thermometer so I can’t say for sure. I doesn’t have big vent holes and is ceramic. I guess it’s normal.
Some do get much hotter than others
Super cool I just googled laser thermometer Scentsy warmers , because I have a laser thermometer and do this all the time and wish all the Scentsy consultants did so I could know the bowl temp so I knew before I bought my warmers.
Yes that’s an interesting tool to help decide or confirm which warmers work best
Thank you so much for making this video!
It’s very old so hopefully still relevant
This was such a great and informative video!! Thank you!!
I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting...very nice to hear
I enjoyed this video. Thanks so much. My favorite warmer is the Beacon, I love the light play on the walls.
We have the Beacon and I quite enjoy it as well. It’s in my daughters room
Patricia G •Nose to Toes•
Hi Patricia, Do you think the Classic Curve would be a good warmer, thrower? I don’t believe they make the ceramic ones the way they used to. But I do believe the throw is better than the glass warmers and your experiment proved it.🥰
My concern with that one is the super wide and large dish. For some reason It’s in the back of my mind that some people say the wax didn’t fully melt in the corners of the square shaped dish BUT I could be mistaken and be thinking a different warmer.
Personally I like the ones that are circular in shape and ceramic. I have Stone Leaf now and Etched core and they are both pretty good and both are ceramic.
Patricia G •Nose to Toes•
Thanks so much for getting back to me. That makes since! I was thinking because the dish was big it would have better throw. I have heard the round dishes are some how better.🤗
Very interesting! Thank you. Shannon 😊
thanks for watching Shannon
Oh, I thought this was a fabulous video, Patricia, so informative and science-based. I actually had that Mainstays warmer when I started melting back in early 2018, and it was so hot that I was afraid of it, and threw it away. 😮 Same thing for the Ashland-type hot plate - quick strong throw and done, and also I think you miss the subtlety of layers of scent which could come off more gradually if the melter weren't so hot. One reason I think I am enjoying Scentsy wax so much is that it does melt at a lower temperature - not needing the hottest melter - and has great longevity, which I enjoy. The same can be said for my favorite vendor waxes, such as Empire Alchemy, Destination Wax or Vintage Road Candles. I prefer a scent to build gradually and stay at about a 7-8 strength and throw - I really don't want to be bowled over by a scent - so again, the mid-range warmers work best for me, such as Scentsy Enchanted Pumpkin, Scentsy Jack Skellington, and Yankee Scenterpiece. I love this topic and thank you for addressing it in such a thorough way. ❤️
Omg this video is so OLD, who knows what I said in it!
Those mainstays are a burn waiting to happen...I do remember that as I still have them and they get hot as hell
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes yes! I actually burned my fingers on them, and they got so hot underneath that I was worried about setting the desk on fire... Those can't be safe! 😮 Anyway there are many safer options out there! 🥳
Loved this video
THank you so much Samantha.
Wow, what a very informative, interesting video, thank you for taking the time to do this for us!
I love your Warmer choices and have most of them as well. I love the Fluted Gray myself and will be getting the Elegance Warmer shortly, it is do beautiful!
I have only had a couple of Tea Light warmers over the years but wasn't too impressed with them. With the exception of those, all I've ever used are Scentsy Warmers and I love them because the wax is less apt to burn if I spill it while carrying and disposing of it I can be pretty clumsy at times lol!
I do love my Accord Warmers and am curious what their temperature would read because they have decent throw.
My "Make A Scene" warmer provides great scent throw and the dish is a little hotter than others but it works so well. I love that I can change the look of it to satisfy my decor or mood, especially during the holidays. I've seen people get pretty creative with them and it's fun to see other people's creations.😊 Sorry for my long winded'ness and thanks again!💕
The Make a Scene warmer is 13w I believe. I wish Scentsy would indicate the wattage in element warmers. I think that is important to most people.
Thanks for the comment...I don’t mind that it is long at all.
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes another thing that I love about the Accord is this has 3 separate on/off switches, one for each individual plate. This way I don't have all 3 going at once when I'm warming only one.
Good information Patricia. I think I would need to avoid the very hot Mainstays warmer. I would no doubt touch it, burn myself, and spill wax all over. I have 25 watt bulb warmers and element warmers which get hot enough to melt the wax thoroughly but not so hot that I couldn't stick my finger in the wax. I personally find that the throw depends more on the particular fragrance than the warmer. That may be because my warmers all seem to melt the wax to about the same temperature using the unscientific finger in the wax test. Look forward to your videos.
Yes, I agree! Especially about the throw and the type of scent!
You buy warmers not knowing much but that Mainstays is probably hotter than most people need.
I do love that silver Ashland one though since it sits on top and the dish flares I can pick it up on its edges easier since they don’t get as hot and it doubles as a candle hot plate.
Thanks for watching and commenting, as always 😃
I have a Mainstays warmer.I don't use it currently.I got so hot I saw steam coming off it.
First Name I can believe that!
I think I’ve seen steam before too and turned it off right away
Good info! Just got a warmer with soy wax.
Bummer I see most my warmers have a farther distance between lightbulbs and dish. My Lucent warmer warms beautifully! Dish is closer to lightbulb! The reason it’s my favorite. I think the sweet spot on element warmers is 20watts. I’m surprised the gray glass warmer was 177º being all glass! I have the Champagne warmer I don’t think it gets that hot. I use all brands of waxes. Thanks for making this helpful video!!!
This video is fairly old do I can’t recall much about it! 😂
I’m glad it was of interest to you though!!
first time viewer, I am looking for a low wattage/low temp warmer... any ideas?
I have several 16w wax warmers but the temp is too warm, I'm shooting for 90 degrees... I know that is too low for wax but using this for a different application.
Thanks for the video, I love having my house smell like lavender.. Lemon grass is nice too...
PS... the IR Thermometer is "Instant read" so no longer to hold the button... sure you figured that out already. 🙂
If you take a full size warmer and put a lower wattage bulb in it that might be the only way to get such a low temp. Even our lower wattage warmers (8w) element still melt the wax but would get above the temp your looking for.
Just a heads up...I’m not sure what you would be using it for but if anything other than Scentsy wax goes in the dish the Scentsy warranty would be void. Good luck in finding your solution.
Wow, Patricia! This was a great video. Very interesting. I also melt vendor wax, but i only use Scentsy warmers mainly because of the safety factor to myself. I'm notorious for sticking my fingers in the wax by mistake when i go to change the wax or just reach for things. This is a hazard of my being blind...lol. My favorite warmers right now are the Vino (i have two for my open concept room) and the Accord warmer which is the best of my hot plate warmers. It gets super hot and i can pretty much melt anything in it and the Vino. The only wax i have the most problems with is 100% soy wax. i think my next warmer will be the Crystal Light warmer for the kitchen and then i'll have all 40 watt warmers in that space. I didn''t realize Jack was a 15 watt. I thought he was a 20 watt. I used him this past October and i did have issues with some of my wax melting and throwing. Now i know why. He was cute though. Everyone who saw him said so. Do you mind if i post this to one of my wax groups? the ladies in it will be fascinated by it.
Paula - I’m glad this video of my particular warmers was helpful. It made me think a bit more about things like how design of each warmer plays into temperature.
I guess it’s important to point out that this was pretty informal and not at all a “true” test so the temps are a rough guideline but if you think your group might get something out of the video go ahead!
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes Oh yes, i'll let them know that's informal and just something to think about when i post it. thanks, patricia.
I really appreciate that you made this video! I also appreciate that you mention that there are more variables that should be taken into account 🙂 so many people don't realize that. Which science did you study? I'm going to guess physics! 🙂 Your experiment certainly gives a good overview of the different warmers. Thanks again! ~Christine
I have an undergraduate degree in biology.
To be honest this video is so old I don’t recall much of what I said. Lol
And as a RUclipsr the thing you like to do the least is go back and watch your older videos!
But I’m happy you got something out of it
I do have an updated video on warmers I can link if you would like to watch that one
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes Biology is cool!
I would appreciate the link to the updated video, thanks!
So one of my scentsy warmers takes a 25 W G Bulb. My question is, is there a higher watt bulb I can use because I feel like it doesn’t melt the wax all the way even when left on for two days. The wax stays chunky no matter the brand
If the electrical components say 25w you can not exceed that or it could be a fire hazard. Do you know the name of the warmer? Certain ones like the Classic Curve have a reputation of not melting the wax in the corners because the dish is so big.
If it’s a different warmer it might be an idea to swap that bulb out for another 25w scentsy bulb in case it’s a dud.
Fantastic video Patricia. Very interesting. The element warmers come in different wattages, l wish they would put the wattage of element warmers in the description so you would know before you buy them. I find 8 watt element warmers useless I.e. qwerty and turned it into coin dish. The 12 watt element warmers are super. If a scent lasts 12 hours in a 25w bulb warmer, it's gone in 8 hours from the 12w element warmer so I joke the element warmers eat the wax. Great video, will watch this more than once.
Yes.
I fully agree Scentsy should mention what each element warmer wattage is. That is annoying. It’s my opinion they should do away with the 8w entirely. Go with either 10w, 12w, or 13w.
If people buy an 8w and it’s terrible...the customer is not happy and then nobody wins as it will liekely deter future purchases.
Great video! I wonder why in Europe most of the Scentsy element warmers are 14w? Only my Isabella warmer (discontinued) is 12w and others are 14w.
jenra 985, very interesting!
Sounds like something we should be doing over here.
14w sounds like a great idea for Scentsy elements.
Really informative video once again! You go above and beyond - I really appreciate your work! My favourite Warmer is the Vino 👌 Mini warmer I have been really impressed with! I first got the whoot mini warmer for my living area (was waiting for the Vino to come back in stock) and it filled that area wonderfully! I was using Lime Zest and Vanilla that first week. I’m also pleasantly surprised by the Seashore mini warmer. It’s glass/wire but gives great strength and throw and the wax lasts days! That’s in my bathroom. Have you found day 1 in the big warmers are strong, then you turn them off overnight, turn them back on in the morning and they never seem to get back to where they left off? They seem like half strength from when you turned them off? Am wondering if thats the case for other people. If so is that why some people leave them going 24/7. When I first got the mini whoot and it was my only warmer I leaf it on overnight (because I also wanted it for a night light) and the 1 cube lasted approx 3 days (and nights). When I got the full size warmer i used 2 cubes and turned it off overnight. It lasted 2 days. Much shorter and an extra cube.. I was consider trying your trick of using 2 warmer for a 2 roomed space (kitchen/living) and putting 1 cube in each. See if that prolongs the scent. I guess it’s all trial and error. Your videos have been very helpful! Thanks again.
FYI the whoot warmer is on a wall in the middle of the room so it’s got a good position to scent the whole area. Maybe I will still use it for 1 cube as well as the Vino which is on one side of the room. Or I might get another full size warmer as I like to leave Whoot on overnight and turn the Vino off.
There is only so much oil in each cube. As it’s heated the oil leaves so that’s why its not as strong on day 2.
The hotter the warmer the stronger the scent but the faster it wears off since those scent oils are leaving the wax pool faster.
So you have to fiddle around with amounts and Warner’s and placement to see what works vest for you.
This is a really old video and I haven’t watched it in years so I might not have gotten my thoughts out well.
I do have a more recent video that may help
ruclips.net/video/rxl2Zq7bdMI/видео.html
I'm curious what style warmer you'd recommend in a large living room with 30 foot vaulted ceilings? I have the petal element warmer in there now and I am feeling like it's not enough for that room.
Are you warming Scentsy or other retail / vendor wax?
For a big room definitely consider adding a second warmer.
Scentsy wax - 1-2 full size 25w CERAMIC bulb warmers (if you’re not sure message me some pics on Facebook or Instagram @patriciagaetz)
I’d avoid glass warmers, or element warmers in general from Scentsy.
If vendor I’d say 1-2 20w hot plates (the 24w are hard to come by now and also give a strong throw but the wax wears off quickly)
You’d have to do some research on some 20w hotplates. Other people use tea light warmers or 25w halogen bulb warmers or even 25w ceramic bulb warmers from Scentsy with good results.
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I use Scentsy wax 😊 I will look into getting a ceramic warmer. I also have the Cracklin' Rose warmer. I believe that is a ceramic. It performs well in my bedroom.
Big zones (or high ceiling ones) sometimes need a second warmer so keep that in your back pocket. Also be choosy on what scents you warm there. In general I only warm scents that smell really strong in the clamshell in my big open ceiling area or ones that have a reputation as being really strong
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I've noticed that I definitely have to be choosy about which waxes I can use in there which is a bummer because I do love a lot of soft ones like Apricot Vanilla, Pacific Sandalwood, Vanilla Oud and for some reason Bonfire Beach struggles in there and it's my all time favorite but I barely smell it in there so I save it for my bedroom only. A lot of people say Bonfire Beach is a strong performer but my living room disagrees of course 🤣 Luckily we are military and we move a lot so I won't always have this giant ceiling to compete with. I appreciate your knowledge and kindness 💜
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes Would the Dreamcatcher Warmer work? Looks to be a ceramic one.
Just watched this video, my bathroom warmer tips some as well, does that factor into the throw of the wax, and my favourite warmers are my blue diamond shade warmer and nova warmer
I’d say as long as the wax is fully melting any impact would likely be minimal. The thicker the wax pool sometimes the oils have a “harder time” getting through the wax but I’d doubt it would be a big deal.
Have you done a Scentsy vrs Pink Zebra ?? I need one done
No. I think I had one melts worth of Pink Zebra given to me before but I don’t remember anything about it
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I am a Independent consultant and would love this done , I dont have that gun you you have , you can contact me through my vip group or page on facebook , here is the 2 links to get to them , Oh And samples I can send you some ...facebook.com/groups/httpspinkzebrahome.combonniesfairytalesprinkle/

I feel and Believe Scentsy Runs Hotter then My Simmiering lights and Pots , Because I got Both in my house and Scentsy gets Hot , Mine I can touch when on and running
The Mainstays warmer that got too hot, how hot does it get underneath? I worry about it burning the counter or the table. I've seen several reviews on Amazon for the same warmer, just a different brand name, and people's counters and tables are burnt. Have you ever seen this happen? And again, how hot does that Mainstays warmer get underneath?
I think mine has little feet that raise it slightly. No burn marks anywhere for me thankfully
What do you think about using fragrance oil in these wax warmers? I buy straight fragrance oil instead of candles and use the aromatherapy diffusers with the water but I thought these would be good for oil. What are your thoughts on it?
I wouldn’t advise it. These warmers are made for wax melts and I personally don’t mess around with using a product not in it’s intended way
Okay because someone that owns a fragrance oil company sent me fragrance oils and a wax warmer and said to put the fragrance oil in the wax warmer. It's heated by a bulb. I was looking at wax warmers that are electric and have the heating element what temperature control. I use one of those electric diffusers that you put water in and drops of fragrance oil but recently, it bothers my lungs.
I love scentsy scents, i found a warmer i love that isn't scentsy. could i use a scentsy bulb in the other warmer to keep it from burning so hot?
You can try but I would stick with the recommended wattage. You can also usually put a lower wattage bulb in but never a higher wattage bulb .
Sometimes it’s the design and material of the warmer that affects the heat output (which you can’t do much about that.) Warmers are fairly inexpensive, so if it warms too hot I’d just get a different one personally.
Do you know what temperature wax melts work best at? I have an adjustable temperature warmer and it always seems to smell odd because it's too hot or not at all because it's not hot enough.
Sorry I don’t. But in my experience pure paraffin can stand strong heat and soy is better with mid to low heat as I found it disappeared with high heat
What happens if you melt scented wax on the radiator of your baseboard heater on top
You mean in a dish? I’m not sure it would get hot enough to melt the wax
Is it a fire hazard if it leaks a little bit on the radiator Base top?
@@tommy8331 I would suspect YES!
I would personally just use a warmer.
No I do use a warmer I was just wondering if a little wax Would be a fire hazard?
Do you have any insight on the Charred warmer? I love the look but noticed it’s only a 20 watt. I’ve never tried a 20 watt warmer before and don’t want to waste my money. It’s so beautiful though! Not sure why they couldn’t do this one in 25 watts. 🤷🏼♀️
I don’t have the Charred warmer, but I do quite like the looks of it...but like you I don’t like to go for 20w bulb warmers.
With glass warmers they don’t ever have vent holes so I’m thinking the glass got a bit too hot with a 25w trial bulb so they went with 20w instead. I am guessing they do multiple electrical set ups in the development stage - and test for heat output, safety, etc... and I assume they shoot for a certain temperature range and for whatever reason they went with the lower of the 2 bulbs.
I’ll likely do a warmer video with features that affect performance in the next few weeks.
So I doubt that’s a lot of help but perhaps if I bite the bullet and get it someday I can test it’s temperature 🤒
Thanks so much for your input! That makes sense. I have the Crystal leaves warmer which is a 25 watt and was just surprised when I saw that charred was only 20. I thought they’d be similar. I’m still on the fence. I’ve got a half off item to use so I gotta make up my mind! 😝 thanks again for your help and all of your videos. I’m always excited when I see you’ve posted a new one! 😊
Terri I’m guessing the darkness of the charred warmer might factor in with heat retention. Plus the fact there is no real “breaks” or see through areas in the glass where heat can “escape” as easily in the clear areas of the Crystal Leaves warmer. BUT that’s purely just a guess. It would be worth a shot for a bedroom but not for an open concept area for me personally.
Hello patrictia do you think disney will make any new scentsy fragments :)?
Im sorry, I don’t know what you mean (dragments?) can you clarify?
Patricia G •Nose to Toes• fragments my bad ! The disney scents are all superb besides the cinderella one
I would venture a guess in saying perhaps each season some scents may leave (if not selling well) and be replaced with new scents. That’s just a guess on my part. The good news is there are lots of Disney characters to base scents on, so lots of possibilities!
I can’t even believe how many waxers you have lol. I have a glass waxer that is definitely not as hot as my ceramic. It’s a 25w, should I buy a higher watt to make it hotter or is that dangerous?
Never exceed the max recommendation for wattage for each warmer - becomes a challenge to the electrical system as is a potential fire hazard.
Patricia, you still have a lot of confused viewers/ subscribers. They/I want warmers that perform. I also want beautiful. If possible. What temperature range is optimal for throw? You did something here that no one ever bothers to do (and is invaluable)-actually take temperatures of all these warmers you have. But you must provide some context. To some degree you do, but not enough. How do I know? I read the comments. Viewers are still confused. The one thing you absolutely are crystal clear is that not all warmers are performers.
So could please do a second video where you again take temperatures and provide feedback as to performance (nose test). And tell us what factors into the performance/non-performance of each warmer. Ceramic. Glass. Composite. Bulb capacity. Dish size. Dish material composition. Is it flat. Wide. How close it is to bulb. You hit on all these areas, but in a kind of scattershot way.
You are the only one who can pull this off. I wish I could, but I just discovered vendor wax (like discovering sliced bread) And as of just one month ago, I had just one warmer. Just sitting. Unused. A Scentsy warmer. Ceramic. Good performer. Got it about 15 years ago. Back when wax vendors were hardly a thing. Back when Scentsy just had basic warmers-not these works of art that may or may not perform.
Anyway, I’m so very glad I discovered your channel.
This video is 4 years old-so maybe you have already answered all these questions.
Sorry about any confusion. This was a very EARLY video for me. I was likely going through some growing pains and learning myself.
Also with temperature cks on warmers over the years I’ve realized it’s hard to standardize the results. Temperature guns gives an “guide” or idea of performance but the ones we have access to are inexpensive and likely less sensitive.
In general for performance / intensity of scent I’d advise a 25w ceramic bulb warmer. That’s a typically good starting point. Older warmers that have stood the test of time sometimes are good “bets”. A wide dish and one that is close to the bulb is helpful. A ceramic dish is valuable too. SO many factors to consider.
Maybe it’s best to film another video. I’ll add it to my list. I’ve just been tight on time lately (thanks to my family and work life) but I’ll see what I can do this summer.
Thanks for your feedback / suggestions
Someone has a wax melt fetish!!! good video though lol
You shouldn’t burn anything but scentsy bars in your warmer ! As they are set temps .. :/ The bars are designed for scentsy warmers!
I only burn Scentsy in Scentsy but I do admit to melting other companies in my Scentsy warmers as well. Doing that voids your Scentsy warranty with your warmer though so of course I don’t advise it.
