Can I pour Honey wax directly into the built in metal container? I've been heating wax directly in warmers but not sure about this model.

I would not recommend that you pour wax directly into this warmer. I would suggest you purchase a can of wax that normally is used with this warmer and when that can is empty you could refill the can. Hope that helps.

No you have to use a special wax, theirs. I just gave mine away as took forever to warm the wax...onto the next brand.

ehhh i really wouldn't advise that. if you ever wanted to use any other type of wax, it'd be a pain in the butt to clean out. i'd recommend instead getting a tin can (maybe a coffee tin?) that can fit inside the warmer, and then putting the honey wax in THAT.

What metal piece? The only thing metal is the rim of the container holding the wax..?

No,it's not. actually,u can warm it up in microwave but wax will get firm in a short time.u will have to go back to microwave many times before u finish waxing a large area. If u need to wax a small area then it could be warmed up in microwave easily.

I'm gonna guess you mean place the container on a mug heater? I doubt it will work. This can has a specific wax heater that regulates the temp you are risking a serious burn to do it any other way. This is a stripless hard wax and does not require muslin strips. I recommend you use a wax strip product like Nads or Sally Hansen. Available at most drug stores. Follow the directions. They work quite well.

No, I have used the plastic funnel and the spacer several times and have not had trouble with it melting with the hot liquids,etc. However, neither would withstand a direct heat source (such as a stove burner).

NO! Never put it in the microwave! This is professional wax that has to be used with the wax warmer.

no, the container is aluminum, it is designed to be heated in the wax warmer. Might explode (or at least spark) in the microwave. Best microwaveable wax (imho) is Sally Hansen Brazilian Bikini Wax, also available on Amazon. ~cheers

Yes! I use my microwave to melt mine. I boil the jars, i pour my wax into, in a pot on the stove while the wax is melting. Always best for some reason to boil them. I think it makes a difference on how the wax cools down. Ive tried just pouring the wax straight in the jar without boiling. And the wax didnt settle right at all, as it hardened.

Hi!, yes its ok to have the wax hard, you would want to place the whole tin on the wax warmer to warm up the wax. After its warm you should be good to go. Its amazing! i hope you like it. ��

Yes. We used Gigi wax. You only have to be able to put the can into it; this is just a warmer. It works well.

I use it for Gigi Honey Wax and it does takes a good 1/2 hour + to start melting.

The only thing this device does is heat up like a stove, so you should be able to use any brand of wax that melts in a suitably sized container. As long as you have a 400g tin (which many waxes are already sold in), you can sit the tin inside of the warmer and you're all set. In fact, I plan on keeping the tin that my wax came in, and purchasing whatever kind of wax refills I want. The fit was a bit snug but it worked like a charm.

I would expect that, yes, you can pour hot, even boiling, water directly into the container. Mind you, I haven't tried this, but the plastic it's made of is, I believe, heat resistant.

I don't know , I do not own a wax warmer but if you are going to do that be very careful because it heats up in very little time, you don't want to over heated and burn yourself. Best of luck

Yes. That's exactly what I did. I like Epillys wax & I just heated it up & poured it in. I really like it. The wax never gets too hot either.

You have to have the wax heating unit to use this wax. This is a great product. Very gentle with great removal.

Yes, it can be removed. And as long as the wax is in a metal container, you can use other waxes.
