Tips for Using a Candle Warmer

I like to use yankee candles but some of them are either very strong, or don't have much of a scent at all. i would like something that has a nice smell, that I could use on my candlewarmer and leave on all day. Some get too strong smelling, and I can only stand them for a short time. Others don't have enough of a fragrance. Does anyone have any suggestions on what frangrances might be good to try? I have purchased some, and wind up throwing them out. They are too expensive to waste. Thanks for any and all replies.

Hi,
Here is my suggestion. I used to be a fan of Yankee candles, but then came Gold Canyon Candles! My life has since changed. I have a very sensitive nose and I work (as a nurse) in an environment where the smells can sometimes be extremely unpleasant, to say the least. Thus, I need scents around me that help me cope. LOL!

Gold canyon candles are the best out there and I know, as I am a candle fanatic. They even offer "Scent Pods" which are specifically designed for use with a warm. And believe me are there product give of a consistent aroma of pleasantry! For more info visit www.goldcanyon.com or email me @ tesecondincharge AT yahoo.com. I love the products so much I became a product demonstrator!

I was just given a crock candle warmer and a 22 oz candle in a glass jar as a gift but wasn't told if I could put the glass jar with the candle in it into the warmer or does it have to be a candle without the glass jar that is used in the warmer? Could someone let me know so I can start using my warmer. Please.. If you can help me with the info please email me at firecracker316 AT hotmail.com. Thank You

I had a candle spit while on a warmer, any ideas on what causes this?

FYI, Earthshine candles do not use lead in their wicks and the jar candles are the best around. I am not sure where this person got their info from, but I have it from a very reliable source.

Best candles are Natures Finest Candles made from natural palm wax. They even burn clean and don't soot since they aren't made from Paraffin like most. Check out http://WWW.NATURESFINESTCANDLES.COM
They are also sold on QVC. Web site lists all the aromas, prices and show short videos about product.

Find someone that sells Partylite candles. They are pricey but maybe no more than yankee candles. They have great soft scents and last a long time.

I don't have a warmer, but I do like Yankee candles. I prefer the ones scented like food, as I think the florals and others are too strong. I like most of the vanillas, the banana nut bread, the pumpkin, and the lemon cookie. Try out a small votive first to see if you like the scent. Or, I have used the tarts in a tea light burner, and I sometimes think they give off a better scent than the small votive. Hope this helps.

In lieu of Yankee Candle tarts, you can buy colored porous rocks at the craft shops like Michael's, then purchase scented oils. Soak the rocks in the oil in a Glad type tupperware container, turning over and shaking the container so the oil seeps into all of them........then add the scented rocks to whatever type tart burner you have. You can make your own scents by combining two or more and find the one that suits you best. When the rocks no longer put off a scent, return them to the Glad container.......it's much cheaper as you never have to replace the rocks!
