Yankee Candle TSV 21/11/09

[Pick-a-Lily]

Mine melts the whole tart to liquid, but I am using Her Ladyship's superior soy tarts and not the YC ones - don't know if that makes a difference, but I think th esoy ones melt more easily?

I have mine burning with the same tart since it arrived on wednesday, it has been burning from 9am till 11pm but I have noticed that only the wax in the middle melts the outside melts then solidifies after a few hrs, but it never melts again, not like the cream one that I have, that seems to be a different shape and melts all the tart, so I think I will try and just use a half tart next time, someone on here said thats what they do.Has anyone else noticed if theirs only melts in the inside?

I have only used half a tart at a time since I got mine Rosylee, which is what Daisy suggested & she knows more about tart burners than I do......which isn't saying much as I know absolutely nuffink about them! lol
But I digress......

I have a reasonable size living room (30 foot or so I s'pose?) & half a tart is quite sufficient! I like to choose a new 'flavour' & put it on about 4-5pm or so & it keeps the whole house smelling lovely until we go to bed at gone midnight, so a good 8 hours usually!

I leave it in the burner & turn it back on again in the morning & it lasts another 3 hours maybe before the smell is fading dramatically? I then cool it down & start a new one in the afternoon! HTH

Mine is (was) a bit hit and miss with the melting, it tended to solidify partly round the edges but then I tried a tart in a silicon cake case and that worked fine.

I tried my first mix this weekend, evening air and clean cotton - nice!

Mine only melts in the middle unlike my other electric burner which melts the whole tart. I will try cutting one in half and see what happens.

I'd be interested to hear what Micheala says if someone rings her with a burner that doesn't cut off as she clearly said they had that feature.

Question?????

Hi everyone hope you are all fine and dandy on this really cold evening.

I bought this TSV and I'm reasonably happy with it, prefer my other one though as it has an on/off switch and melts the whole tart but I digress...What I wanted to ask is when you split the YC tarts in half what do you wrap them in to keep them fresh? Probably a daft question but one I needed to ask. Nothing beats Darl's tarts Yankee don't even come close to the scents Darl makes but I have them so have to use them sometime (YC).

Thanks xx

I'm waiting for mine to arrive

One of the reasons I ordered was the mention of the safety cut out and the fact that it was electric and would be safer than all the candles i use, so this non functioning cut out is concerning me a little.

Why clearly state that it would? Bit naughty and QVC should really clarify if they are aware

I wish mine would hurry up!!!

I put my half tarts in a ziplock bag (cut them still in the wrapper and wrap it back round). Be warned, they crumble! Maybe a really hot knife would stop that but I've not tried.

 

[Snuggs]

Thank you blarf I have got a ziplock bag somewhere which would be ideal

hey guys, why don't we all just put our complaints on the qvc product reviews?
i've just done mine and i gave it 3 stars simply because i like the tarts.
i've also put about the safety cut off which we didn't get and also the there isn't an on/off switch.
i enough of us complain, maybe they will listen, after all, aren't they breaking some law regarding product description and misleading their customers?

 

[blarf]

you're right, off to do mine now. My replacement came yesterday - still need to test if there's a cut off but from what everyone on here has said there just isn't one fitted.

I've never succumbed to a yankee tsv before now; the kits never seemed very appealing, and the p+p put me off - scentedcandleshop.com is cheaper - but I went for the electronic tart burner, after having used the wax tarts with a tart burner and tea lights. I thought yankee tealights were expensive, so used run-of-the-mill ones, and I was using 3 in a session! Thought I'd give the no-flame option a go, as I've got boxers. The wax tarts are supposed to last for 8 hours each; I've had about double that already, and the aroma shows no signs of weakening yet.

Great buy.

One tip - maybe someone else does this - is to remove the stickers from the outer of the tartlet packaging, and stick it on the inside of your clothes drawers to emit a favourite smell.
