Wax Warmer - HELP! - 13-10-08, 10:47 PM


hey fellow wax geeks, i need help. I purchased the 800g (28.22 oz) Cirepil (Perron Rigot) Cristal Ocean wax. It does not fit in my Gigi warmer, so i went to beauty supply and long story short i have returned every one they carry because they dont fit in circumference. Any Idea on what type i should be looking for? I have googled it, but i just want to be sure before i pay shipping and all. Im really sick of returning them lol!
please help!
thanks!!

you want a hive or mercia (american equiv) 1000cc heater which the pots will just fit in nicely for you.

Why don't you just put the wax into the heater? I never put the tin inside. What's the point? If that's your wax of choice, then why change pots?

Can you put your tin of wax in some hot water to release the wax from the sides of the tin and then transfer it into your warmer hth

If you use different pots of wax like I do why not use an empty pot, warm your big pot in the microwave and decant some into your usual pot size that fits in your heater?

Hot water would be better....perron rigot comes in metal tins so cant put in the microwave. another idea is to turn the heater up full and balance the tin of wax at an angle into the heater. the heater will heat the wax and drip in.(this works with hive heaters, not sure on any others)

You can buy tin inserts for the hive 1000cc heaters so you can swap waxes if you really want to.

I use Hive 1000cc heaters and you can either take the bucket out and place the tin in or just pour the wax into the bucket. xxx

Thanks so much! i will weigh out those options. I think im leaning towards melting the wax out into the one i already have and saving myself the money and time of ordering a new one. But truly, thank you all so much!!!!
