Candles/Wax: What are you burning or melting?

Pumpkin roll and frosted ginger cookie. Both by scentsy.

I'm burning Silver Birch from Yankee Candle. It's not that strong of a scent, but that just means I can burn it longer.

Our Olive Oil Merchant sells soy candles so I'm burning a soy pumpkin pie one. Actually thinking of going and getting a new one today, I think they are the best candles I've found in years.

Scentsy's caramel pear crisp is my fall favorite! I just ordered a few new fall scents to try but I haven't used any yet.

StacyAngel , I didn't know that tip about making a Febreeze sub. I will have to try that!

I am using my first Scentsy wax melts. How long does it take to use one little cube up? I am used to candles, so am surprised at how long the wax is lasting. I'm ready to try another scent.

A Yankee Candle wax tart. It's apple, just plain apple, but I don't know the name of the scent, I threw away the wrapper. 

I have found it really depends on the scent!

No need to heat again. It's much cleaner/easier to pop it in the freezer for one or two minutes, use a sharp knife to gently lift the edge and it will pop right out. Some of my warmers have tops that come off and I put that in the freezer but if it's one that's all one piece, I put the whole thing in there. 


Right now I'm warming YC Harvest. I've been disappointed in the quality of Yankee the past few times but I *needed* one Harvest warming to officially welcome fall. Then I'll switch to Hot Maple Toddy by Candleberry. 

I've never tried Scentsy but have been burning a Kitchen Spice candle from Yankee Candle and it smells great! I bought another Yankee Candle called Spiced Pumpkin and I'll burn that when the other is used up.

I'm a former Scentsy consultant and still an addicted customer. Scentsy's wax doesn't 'burn' rather, it warms. The wax doesn't evaporate, the scent just lessens as it warms. So, you won't see the wax actually disappear like in a candle. 
If you are ready to try a different scent, and your current wax still has scent, simply turn your warmer off and let the wax harden up. I use a wooden fingernail stick to pop the wax circle out of the dish, and put it in a plastic Baggie to use later. I wouldn't recommend putting the dish in the freezer, though I know many do this, as a frozen dish is more likely to crack upon impact. 
If the scent is gone from your melted cube, a very simple way to remove it is to dip a cotton ball or two into the melted wax and wick it up. Easy peasy! 

Nothing's on fire at the moment, but my colonial candle lemonade is still on the mantle, and I just ordered a bunch more from their last sale. I think I might burn tangelo macaron next, but I don't know. Haven't decided.

I did get sugared cinnamon for pier one recently, as a fall scent. The tealights don't seem to have much scent throw (or maybe I need to burn more than three at a time) but the sachets are AWESOME in the car.

I actually should dig out my gold canyon licorice for halloween.

I love that one as well. 

The Scentsy system is designed for Scentsy warmers and Scentsy wax to work together. Their wax has a low melt point because the warmers only get so hot. That is why most other companies wax doesn't work as well in a Scentsy warmer. Likewise, when you use Scentsy wax in another brand of warmer, it heats much hotter than it is designed to. That makes the scent dissipate much faster and you will go through more cubes in a given amount of time. You can do it, but you won't get optimal results mixing either Scentsy product with a different brand. I've also found that other brand wax is much harder to get out of a Scentsy warmer.
