Buy the "cheap" version and compare!! I loved watching the vod live version of this!

7:33 "We got bamboozled" You really did. Wax beads like that are how normal low cost candles are made. They spray liquid wax in the air as a mist and it cools into the beads. They put the beads in a cylinder mold and crush it with a press to make the candles, Wicks get inserted afterwards. They did the first half of the process, skipped the second, put it in boxes, and sold it to you for $200 with the help of a viral marketing campaign. "How its Made, Candles" shows this type of thing being used. Some are cast with wax, or mechanically dipped wicks, but if you see a cheapie candle with a weird not smooth texture, it was pressed.

Does anyone remember those clear jelly candles from the 2000s? The ones no one ever lit and they'd sit on your bathroom counter collecting dust, and you had to resist the temptation to stick your finger in it, but you did it anyway and ruined it ;-;. They were also always beach themed lol

[Ciara_Turner]

That cultist candle is something that my DnD party would love

[ubreaduuu]

how do i find myself always watching these when i already watched the uncut ones 😅❤

[TotMannsFete]

If there's one thing I learned from horror novels and spooky RPG sessions, it's that a summoning circle must be _uninterrupted_ or bad things happen. Poor doomed cultists q_q

[jack-wulf]

As someone who doesn't burn candles because I do not trust my clumsy, forgetful ass with them, that safety aspect of these beeds does really appeal to me

Tip for drawing Pentagrams/Pentacles in the future. Just roll up a paper funnel and fill with your sand, salt, wax, fine granual thing. Snip the end to make a small hole and plug it with your finger. Remove finger when ready to draw and keep moving. You'll get a much smoother and consistent result.

i'd love to see a test of how the beads perform when you leave the candles burning for a longer time. like, do the drips of wax collect beneath the orbeez? does the liquid wax eventually sink into the water for the floating candle? how fast do they actually burn?

[NotOnLand]

You can get a bag of those wax granules in the craft store for like $8, whoever sold them to you for $200 was ripping you off

Edit: Ok so they do know they got scamboozled, good job chat!

[ragreen]

Idea: See if you can somehow grind/grate/whatever (otherwise transform) regular candle wax into candle beads

[flonair]

You could've tried to do like a beach setting. I imagine the sand as you did in the terrarium one, maybe add a little palm and a miniature deck chair or something like this. Have blue wax be the sea and put the wick into the sea. So that when the candle burns, it basically melts the beads from the sea into one glossy surface, which would distinguish it from the grainy sand. You could also "melt the sea" with a blowtorch to get to that glossy surface

the day an E&K video *isn’t* sponsored by squarespace must be the last day of the earth.

[ac_demarco]

we dont talk enough about the fact that goth katelyn slays

[abbihammond]

Im so happy the edited version of this video came out, I've been waiting for ages ❤😂

[Chaotic_goodevil]

This video was so fun to watch. Both this and the uncut!:)

[k-lingon-berry]

I saw the uncut for this and it was super fun, I'd definitely love it if you did this again but compared these with cheaper candle beads! 🕯

[Patricia-b]

This is not dropshipping, it's wholesale and then they make the boxes basically. But 90% of instagram ads are dropshipping or people wholesale buying and repackaging stuff from aliexpress

[probablyhyperfixating]

I totally had these as a craft kit as a kid. Of course the wax beads were like neon yellow and orange and pink and looking back idk how that was a good idea for kids, but I was a very crafty kid and they were cool to me. I love these things disguised as a brand new concept lol
