Soy Wax Snap Discs for UK Warmers
The scented core of this collection is the snap disc format. Each soy wax snap disc is a single round bar scored into segments, so you break off one piece at a time rather than melting the whole thing. Five fragrances run through the range: Dragon's Blood, Spell Bound, Witches Brew, Poison Apple and Witching Hour, all on a soy base and all from Something Different. One disc typically gives eight or more separate burns, which makes it the cheapest way to keep changing scent without ending up with half used tubs.
Gonk Wax Melt Sets and Melter Bundles
Alongside the discs sit the Klevaro gonk lines. Red gonk wax melts are highly scented soy tarts sized for a standard warmer dish, and the gonk melter bundle pairs them with a ten and a half centimetre ceramic warmer and a tealight so nothing else is needed. A Highland cow Christmas wax melt burner arrives with festive gonk melts and a touch control base, and a cut out leaf wax melter set covers the fruit fragrances. These bundles are the sensible starting point if you have never used melts before.
Ceramic Warmers That Take These Melts
Roughly two thirds of this collection is the hardware rather than the wax, and every warmer here takes the snap discs and gonk melts above. Designs include jam jar and marmalade jar shapes, lemon curd, watermelon, water lily, mushroom house, pastel house, Nordic house, owl, star, bat cat and pumpkin cut outs, plus Santa and fir tree pieces for winter. Most are tealight warmers with a deep dish on top. For the wider selection see oil burners and candles.
Getting the Best Throw from Wax Melts
Use one segment of a snap disc in a standard dish and give it twenty minutes before judging the scent, since soy wax releases slowly compared with paraffin. Do not overfill, as a deep pool cools unevenly and wastes fragrance. When the scent fades, let the wax set hard and lift it out in one piece rather than scraping it warm. Sets of unscented spell candles also sit in this collection for anyone using the burners for tealights. See christmas for festive burner designs.
Safety and Storage for Wax Melts
Never leave a lit tealight burner unattended, and always site one on a heatproof surface away from curtains, shelving and anything that can catch. Keep the dish topped with wax rather than running it dry, because an empty ceramic dish over a flame gets far hotter than it needs to. Store unused snap discs somewhere cool and dark, since soy wax will soften and lose fragrance strength if it sits on a sunny windowsill through summer. Sealed in their original wrap they keep their scent for around twelve months. If you would rather avoid an open flame altogether, an electric warmer is the better choice. See candle holders.
