No Hot Throw

I’m new to candle making, so I was excited when I purchased this kit. I followed all the instructions precisely that was provided inside of the kit. Allowed the candles to cure for 3 weeks (for max hot throw). However, these candles produced NO HOT THROW. I used the banana nut bread, vanilla and I bought saffron and black violet mixed with sandalwood. The cold throw was there, but no hot throw whatsoever. By the way, the pitcher provided barely holds 1 lbs of wax. Also the vanilla candles left a terrible rust around the inside of the tins. Very disappointed.

No hot throw

I ordered my first kit and it arrived quickly. I prepared my first set of candle and let them cure for a 1 1/2 and there is no hot throw. Can you make any suggestions?

Very disappointed

I was so excited to make my first candle. The fragrance was not enough. I would suggest a larger bottle of fragrance.
I brought other items and happy with those.

No hot throw at all

I followed directions explicitly. I have made candles and melts before and never had this problem. I was excited to test after 3 weeks because they smelled wonderful cold. The candles came out and burned beautifully, but had hot zero throw.

No hot throw

I was excited to purchase this kit since its my first time making candles. The shipment was fast but the fragrance oil spill all over the box after i inform them they ship the 4pcs fragrance oil for free which is good. The only problem is NO HOT THROW tho it has CT. I felt disappointed i followed all the instructions but i don’t know why my candles has no hot throws and when i went to see some of the reviews here i suddenly felt regret buying this kit because what they experience was the same to mine. I don’t even want to finish making those 2 batch of candles left because i know its gonna be the same.. waste of money plus the shipping fee is expensive.. wish i did look the reviews first

Beautiful candles but no hot throw

I purchased the pro kit and all materials were nicely packaged and arrived on time. I followed all instructions provided in the kit and achieved beautiful candles. My candles cured for two weeks. The cold throw was amazing but the hot throw was nonexistent. Can you please assist?

No hot throw

I loved the whole process of making the candles, I followed step by strap and was so excited once they were fully cured. They had an amazing cold throw but a completely non existent hot throw. I had already ordered more supplies to make more but I’m not sure what to do to to help the hot throw.

Extremely Happy with my kit!!

I got my first pro kit and I am happy with it. I haven't started making my candles yet. I will do it Wednesday but, overall I am impressed.

Great kit! Some issues with the products.

I bought the kit to see if I want to make candles for income. Two of the bags were off, but not much, and it didn't seem to make a difference in the outcome of the candle. The last two batches, pounds of wax, I made there was debris in the pour pitcher that came from the fragrance bottles. I cleaned all items thoroughly with rubbing alcohol, then soap and water, drying with paper towels as I went. I saw a small fleck in the pour pitcher of the last two batches. Most of the debris was from the fragrance.
The cold throw is really good this morning. I'm happy with that. The wax looks really good. I see some air pockets around the wicks in the first batch, but that's my fault because I think I poured it under 140 degrees. I just made the candles yesterday, so I can't do a burn test yet for the hot throw.
The kit was super easy to use. The pitcher is great. The tins were really great; no dents or anything like that. The wick stickers are amazing! The kit came with everything for each container, which I was surprised about because I didn't expect to get 12 wick holders. All I needed to do was make each batch and make the labeling for the top.
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because of the debris from the fragrance bottles and the shipping. That may be unfair, but it wasn't a perfect experience. I also believe if you want to build a customer base, you should at least pay for the shipping on your kits.
I would 100% recommend their professional kit. All in all, it was a smooth, fun and easy experience.
