I'm really loving the ease of melting and the interaction with vendors. I'm they type of person that gets tired of a particular scent easily so I get enjoyment out of knowing it will only last 1-2 days then I can switch it up until I'm ready to melt that scent again. Plus, I'm sick of babysitting candles too.

You have a lot of valid points that I agree with but for some reason I just still like candles more, even though they can be frustrating but they usually are stronger for me! I have a warmer without the removable dish and it's so annoying! It got some random dark spots on it that I've tried to scrub off but won't remove - maybe I'll have to get a magic eraser!

To clean my melters, I just pull it out while it is still warm, I pour out the wax, wipe the excess with paper towel, and then wash it like I’m washing a plate using a dish sponge and soap with warm water. 🤷🏼‍♀️. Comes off super easily that way.

Also, Belkin makes a timer (on Amazon) that you can choose 3,6,9 hours) of melting that you can plug your warmers into so as not to forget and leave it on. Someone else recommended it to me and it's great! It's white and lime green.

Hi Kim! I hope it is okay to respond here, as I realize this video is an older one. I am very new to vendor wax, and I have been running into lots of trouble finding the right warmer for it. I first tried a couple of Scentsy warmers (25 watt bulb), but found the throw (using Super Tarts Wax) to be very weak. Next I tried a Scentsy 40 watt bulb warmer, which helped, but the fragrance lasted only a few hours (I think probably it was too hot for the wax). Then I purchased a Mainstays 24 watt element warmer, and it got way too hot (I could see steam rising from the warmer), and again, the fragrance lasted only a couple of hours. So I am at a loss as to which warmer to try next. I am hoping you can help. Would the BBW bulb warmer work for my Super Tarts vendor wax? I have wax from a couple of other vendors, but I don’t even want to pull that out until I can figure out which warmer to use. Thanks so much for all your hard work on this channel. I love your videos!

@CanadaKim1978

I think the steam you saw is just the fragrance oil evaporating. I know each space is different. And many have different favourites for warmers etc. I live in a small home, no air conditioning in the summer etc. But I can only attest to my 1 BBW warmer and 3 Mainstays I have scattered around my place. I wish I could be of more help. I know many vendors “less is more” in wax melting. For example, SuperTarts I just need 1 cube and get a significant throw from it. More than 1 cube at a time with SuperTarts and it can drown or suffocate the scent. I know that sounds totally weird but I have found that to be true. Hope this helps, even just a little. Thank you so much for watching 😀~Kim

That does help, Kim. Thanks so much for responding. I have learned the hard way not to use too many cubes at once.

Also, I didn’t even think about the steam being the fragrance oil. I am such a newbie...I know nothing at all about what I’m doing. Lol. The journey is lots of fun though 😀 Thanks again for your help!!

Hi Marisa! I’ve never made my own wax for melts etc. I know some vendors use blends with soy. Amazon has a lot of great molds to pour your wax into...the best ones are silicon molds (makes for easy piping out once cooled). I would use food sprinkles as it will likely stain your bowls. Very fine glitter might be best! But I’ve never made my own melts so I’m just going on my purchasing experience. Thank you for watching ❤️😀~Kim

Hi KIm. The crimson element warmer you showed from Pharmasave...does the BBW jar sit flat on the actual heating element or does it sit on the ceramic outer edge a bit? I find with my Glade warmers and my Yankee one that my BBW and Yankee candle jars don't come in direct contact with the element and are a tad bit wobbly. I may have to try and find one that has a bigger element surface for when I do want to use it to melt the wax in a candle jar itself.

I’m thinking maybe I should do another warmer video...this one you found is a few years old now. I have tried BBW wax melts but they are very pricy in comparison to Better Hones & Gardens or Scentsationals from Walmart. I have a play list on how and why I chop up my BBW 3 wick candles.
