Candle Maker (8 oz)

The all-in-one Candle Maker is a compact, easy-to-use unit for small batch soy candle making. The Candle Maker melts the wax to the appropriate temperature, alerts you when it’s time to add fragrance, and stirs your fragranced wax continuously until it’s time to pour. It’s perfect for trying out new fragrances and making little runs of samples to promote your business. Holding up to 8 weighted ounces (227 g) of wax, it’s a convenient device for creating test candles before committing to larger batches and quantities of materials. The Candle Maker is ideal for smaller project ideas, capable of making 16 tealights, four votives, two 6 oz candle tins, or one tumbler. This device can also easily melt wax for second pours to fix any surface issues with already poured candles. No additional equipment is required, so no need to dig into your stash of pouring pitchers, stirring utensils, and thermometers. When your candle is poured and cooling, all you need to do is wipe out the non-stick aluminum pitcher for easy cleanup. The unit works best with low melt point waxes that have a melt point of 125ºF (51.7°C) or less.

Instructions:

  • Plugin the unit and add up to 8 weighted oz (227 g) of wax to the pitcher.
  • Press the first button to start the melting process.
  • The second button will flash once the wax is hot enough to add the fragrance. Pour in 0.5-1 oz (14-28 g) of fragrance and press the second button to start stirring. The unit continuously stirs to ensure the fragrance is fully mixed into the wax.
  • The third button lights up when the wax reaches pouring temperature. (Things happen, so if you get distracted, the unit will turn off after two hours if a button has not been pressed or the pitcher lifted.) Then lift the pitcher and pour the wax into a pre-wicked candle container. Let sit. Enjoy your homemade candle! If you want the strongest fragrance possible, wait at least one week before burning the candle.

If the Candle Maker makes a loud noise, a chunk of wax may be caught in the stirring mechanism. The noise will lessen as the wax melts. To reduce the noise, don't pack the wax tightly into the pitcher. Add some of your wax, let it melt, then add the remaining wax.

A larger pitcher is available as an add-on for this unit.

Worked for 4 years, now dead as a door nail

Purchased 6/19/19 and for the time I used it which was normally in winter months to make candles for myself, it worked great. I just got it out this month to make candles for Autumn and it no longer works. Disappointed in that

Good Until......

This was my go to when I needed to make my candles, until it gets to the spin cycle and just cuts off. I don't know what's wrong..

It just stopped heating

I was in the middle of making wax tarts, using a small amount of wax, when it stopped heating. I unplugged the unit to attempt to reset it. Very disappointing g as I just purchased in the end of November.

Great until it isn't

As many of the reviews here have stated, this is a great device to make candles in a pretty hands-off fashion. However, the unit just isn't durable. I have made 7 candles so far. I was going to make 4 more this morning, but the unit resets in the middle of the melt. It seems the issue is that when the agitator tries to spin, the unit reverts back to start. I keep the unit very clean, there is no wax buildup on the agitator or the post the agitator sits on. This is very disappointing. Hopefully Candle science can find a vendor that can produce a reliable unit to offer to their customers or at least remove this unit from their inventory.

Great Little Gaget

I bought this a couple of years ago and it has really been a fun little machine to work with. It takes the guess work out of some aspects of candle making. I'm a hobbyist so I only make candles for my family and close friends. It just finally stopped working after 3 years of service. 10/10 would buy again. Thank you

Very helpful but uncertain about temperature

I have made four batches of candles with this set up so far, using the large pitcher. I am really enjoying the somewhat hands-off experience. Unfortunately, I'm worried that my candles may not turn out as well because I am not able to get the temperature of the wax up to 180º F. The max I can get it to is 150 - 160º when the second button sounds. I have tried all of the different modes to try and heat it up more, but to no avail. Also, I had assumed that leaving it on the machine until the third button sounds would cool it down to the appropriate 135º F, but it just seems to maintain the 150 - 160º. So I have been taking it off of the machine to cool it before filling my small 4 oz glass jars (Oui yogurt containers). Do you have any advice? Does it need to reach 180º to be optimal? Thanks for your help. I wish it didn't need this much monitoring to be used.

Hi Amber, thanks so much for your review! We're so sorry to hear you're running into a bit of trouble and we'd love to help. You're absolutely right in that we typically do recommend heating your wax to 185°F for manual stirring, although the constant mechanical stirring action of the Candle Maker alleviates a bit of the heat requirement.
