Featuring 2 circular PTC chips, the wax warmer works in a more real-world way to ensure even, consistent melting of hard waxes. The PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) tech embodies a self-regulating heating system, meaning it can finetune the melting process according to your room temperature.
I wanted to set my wax heater at 155°F but it just heated up & up and wouldn’t stop.
Confusing it might seem to be, this is absolutely NORMAL. The KOTAMU wax pot is designated to heat all the way up so as to FULLY melt the wax beads and later IT’LL BRING ITSELF BACK TO THE TEMP YOU SET IT TO.
Can't it just heat up to the temp I want and then sit on it?
Superb advice! Our product engineering team has been craving for a better user experience and your voice def will be heard. Currently, the machine still needs to go for a highest temp for fast, even melting of waxes.
So how long will it take for the whole process?
For the melting it takes about 10 minutes to reach 240° or so; then another 10 to 15 mins to cool to the temp you set. You’ll see the indicator light switches from red to GREEN when the desired temperature is reached.
I’m a total newbie. Is there anything I should be aware of beforehand?
You bet. One simple but often ignored tip for waxing is: you can always rely on the consistency of the wax much more than the machine’s thermometer. Scroll down to Product guides and documents, download the detailed PDF instruction book for MORE.
