I also love seeing all the different ways people package their orders. id be intrigued to see a little better at how they package it in the shipping box too
Of course. I was showing thst more in the early videos but the darn boxes are always so big in the camera and get in the way. But I'll definitely try to do this again going forward!
Thank you Hannah of ‘& Ivy’ for sending in your candles to Wade! Your packaging is amazing and I absolutely LOVE the touch of glitter to your candle tops! I agree with Wade that your vibe across all of the products that you sent to him coincide with one another! Way to go!!! The baby Paolo santo wax melt cubes was a nice touch and gives me inspiration to do similar once I get there! Well done ‘& Ivy’! ❣️ Wade, please don’t let Alan near your candle lab! 🤣 He’ll eat everything that smells good!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words. The little wax cubes are also sold in my store in the libbey jars as wax melts instead of just samples! I try to make eco friendly choices wherever I can :)
I absolutely loved the glitter on the top of the candles! I myself am planning to experiment with making mica-coloured embeds in my unscented candles, but a bit apprehensive about wick clogging. We'll see. Gonna be my first project after coming back from the holidays. Thanks Wade, as usual, entertaining and useful! Greetings from Prague this time, not Belgium :-D
@@BlackTieBarn Just travels! The Czech Republic is my home country, and I moved to Belgium 10 years ago for work. That's why I decided to call my candle shop Heart of Europe because both nations will tell you that it is their country that's in the middle of Europe. Funny how people perceive things.
@@BlackTieBarn You definitely should if you get the opportunity. Anywhere you go in Europe, you'll find places full of history, culture, folklore, local specialties... I think it's magical
Hi Wade, great video as always 😊. Please could you advise on minimising wick flickering. I find my wicks flicker a lot half way down the container - im double wicking also btw. Thank you Wade!!
This was definitely informative. I am struggling with getting a proper wick and have spent lots of money and still don’t have one that I am satisfied with. CD and ECO are ones that I’m using referred by candle science. I am going to try the HTP wicks in hopes of finally being happy with my product. Thanks Wade so much 😊
Great job on those, I'm about to start with my testing candle journey, very impressive! I loved the look packaging and it takes alot of courage to do that.. I'm interested in a totally different concept, and I got the worst soy wax ever. It's a Soy 444, so I'm. Well see, but candle carving is my thing😍 I wish your company all the best!
Thank you so much :) I started with soy 464 and switched almost immediately to 6006. I hope that you have amazing success with your testing journey and business!! Have the courage to be different!
Hey Wade, Thanks for all you do.. I just think your an awesome person and very handsome!! Quick question, I just started using Coco83 don't really know what wicks to buy for that type of wax, as I'm use to Soy wax... Say I have an Standard Libby vessel like the one in this video, what wick would you recommend to me to start with? I've gone on a few groups on FB and get different answers, I don't have the funds to go out and buy every wick that's made... Just need a starting point here!! Lol..
☺ Thanks Amanda. For both compliments, lol. I probably wont be much help with this one though (sorry to let you down). I dont use coco83 and not very familiar with it (at least yet). Most people prefer CDN wicks with coconut. I think I would probably try some premier or htp wicks personally as well. Sizing though.. i have no idea since i dont use the wax. Could you maybe just grab sample packs of CDN, Premier 700, and htp and go from there? If I get a chance to test some coco83 i will certainly share my results and tips but at this time... my info on it is limited. :/
@@BlackTieBarn You definitely helped me, now I actually have a starting point... So, please don't think you let me down! Thank you again for taking your time out to answer my question..
Made my first candles using the pro 600 wax from The Flaming Candle, and used 765 wicks but it’s giving off a little too much smoke with fragrance. Should I use a different wick??
I reused a three wick vessel from a candle I bought from Walmart. So I would say 3.5x4 at least. I think my issue is trying to construct a candle to duplicate one from retail where the chemistry is totally different. Heat throw is amazing on the wax though. I constructed a 9% fragrance load.
@@stephvolks8427 okay, I understand. I would start with 3 premier 720s or so. If that is too much, move to 2 wicks instead. Multiple small wicks will almost always burn better and smoke less than a single large wick.

Beautifully packaged and themed & Ivy.....
I love these review videos...thank you so much!
No problem!
I know this was a long time ago but I loved the mystical theme. Thanks so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's the glitter for me. Love the branding, congrats & Ivy!!
💯
Thank you so much!!
Love that blue jar❤
❤️
Amazing good review and great job candle maker
Thanks for the feedback! :)
I love the glitter!
👍
Alan is too funny 😂. Thank you for sharing. I do love glitter.
😁
That saffron and tobacco is something special from wooden wick good lord!!!! I only use their fragrances
❤ yep it's a good one

Another great video! One of these days I'm hoping to be able to send you my candle LOL. I love this series. :)
Definitely!
beautiful candles! Loved your packaging and creativity. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Regina!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for showing us the candle as it burned. Also, I also consider the amount of soot in the container as the candle burns down to the bottom.
Oh yes for sure!
Beautiful and nice vibe candles! Hope your business is thriving!
💯
Thank you :)
Love this series Wade and Alan! ☺️
😆 thanks Betty
Hi Wade, great video as always 😊. Please could you advise on minimising wick flickering. I find my wicks flicker a lot half way down the container - im double wicking also btw. Thank you Wade!!
Honestly it's pretty normal down further in the jar. Less oxygen and the oxygen coming in on fighting the c02 going out. So it just causes drafts.
Hiiiiiiii, thank you so much for responding 🤗. Ok, I'll stop stressing lol
This is cool! I’d like to send you one of my candles! I’m always second guessing!
For sure, no problem! Shoot me an email to youtube@blacktiebarn.com and we will go from there! :)
Great video. Thorough as usual.
Thanks!
Awesome job Ivy!! Love the Care card!

No problem Wanda. And I understand the struggle for sure. The good news is, it gets easier after wicking. Lol
I just got Palo Santo oil from candle science in Friday. I cant wait to use it!

@Amanda Crittenden no problem. And thanks! ;)
I thought you were putting the melt in your mouth omgsh haha
🤣😅😆
can you please tell me whenever i make candle , my wax leave the jar
Normal. Wax shrinks a bit as it cools like most things. That's all that is happening. It's normal
Have you tried sniffing coffee beans between candle scents? I heard it clears a previous scent from your nose.
Yep. Hit and miss. Not helpful when burning coffee candle though. 🤣
I would love your opinion on my wax melts.
Sure! Let's do it! I have done a melts review yet! :) send me an email to youtube@blacktiebarn.com and we will go from there!
@@BlackTieBarn done👍
😉
I don't like glitter in candles, they're beautiful candles though.
❤️
Thanks
Sure!
How can I send some candles and wax melts to you to review? I would love some feedback
Hi! Just shoot me an email to youtube@blacktiebarn.com!
Made my first candles using the pro 600 wax from The Flaming Candle, and used 765 wicks but it’s giving off a little too much smoke with fragrance. Should I use a different wick??
Depends on the jar. What jar size (diameter)
I reused a three wick vessel from a candle I bought from Walmart. So I would say 3.5x4 at least. I think my issue is trying to construct a candle to duplicate one from retail where the chemistry is totally different. Heat throw is amazing on the wax though. I constructed a 9% fragrance load.
@@BlackTieBarn the wax is softer in nature so it may only need two wicks instead of three.
@@stephvolks8427 okay, I understand. I would start with 3 premier 720s or so. If that is too much, move to 2 wicks instead. Multiple small wicks will almost always burn better and smoke less than a single large wick.
could i send you a sample of candles and wax melts?
Fiiiiiiirst!!!
😁😆
I’m a nerd. I know! Watching video now and will comment much more appropriately in a few! Ha!
@@MushroomAngel I love it! Thanks for being around and always engaging. ;)
