I had a block of wax from my Solar melter and it barely smells. My
new cappings in my boiler came out smelling awesome. I may blend
them, but is there a trick to keeping the wax odor intact.

I noticed similar results.
I wonder if it is due to overheating. There is no way to control the temp limits in the solor melter. The honey drippings definitely came out with a burn smell - making it no good as bee food.

I finished extracting today and pulled some wax out of my simple solar melter to get ready for my cappings. Tt had been in there for well over 2 weeks. Just went and checked and it smells as good as any I've ever seen.
