Making Incense With Makko and Tabu No Ki - What's The Difference? (Incense Magick Ep 016) 

I can't tell you how much I enjoy these videos ! I fancy myself an Incense maker and have always found such helpful hints and instruction from your work. Thank you so much for making this channel !

Thank you! This is super-helpful. I had missed the information that makko has scented ingredients added. Very important info. And I definitely notice with some brands that there's a consistent base scent regardless of incense flavor, so that explains it.

Yaaaaay!! I've been waiting for a new uploaaaaad!

It's good to see you are keeping well Carl, hope youre keeping busy.

Thank you so much this vi5was really helpful for me

Hello Carl and greeting from the UK. Can I ask if it is possible to make my own super size incense cones if I hollow them out like a thimble so as to enable them to dry, or is there a problem burning a partly hollowed out cone down?

Can you help in me simple steps to follow if I want to be a incense maker? And main types of incense based on cultural and geographical history

Thank you for this! I'm new to incense making and started off with your kits but was looking to create my own recipes.... I wanted to know the difference between the two powders and what effect they have on my recipes. I have been using makko but it definitely had an effect on the aromatics... I'm going to try the same recipes with Tabu No Ki and see how that goes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I only have liquids can I use them? If so how? Thank you

im learning a lot watching your videos

Can Charcoal powder be used?

I have started trying to make cones with what I thought was mako but after this video I think is actually the other. My cones haven't burned well yet tho.

Thank you! Great explanation!

Do one of your videos state where to purchase supplies? I have not stumbled upon it yet and having trouble finding a place to buy things such as Tabu No Ki. I would really like to design my own scents, I have never made incense so have no idea where to go that is reputable and reliable. Thanks. Helpful videos, thank you.

Where can i get tabu no ki ?

Thank you for your wonderful videos, they are so helpful in my first steps making incense cones after having made loose incense blends for a long time. I keep being confused and also your website didn't really help me. If you talk about tabu no ki, are you then talking about the Machilus thumbergii of Litsea glutinosa? Do you happen to have a video (or a small comment) about the experiences and differences between these two powders? Thank you.

Very helpful to a newbie like me, thanks. I live in Spain and am finding it incredibly difficult to get hold of Tabu powder. I am wondering if I can create incense for making sticks, using guar gum and a different type of wood powder (ideally with no scent)? Thank you :o)

Hi I've got a question I made some cone incense with sage on the vine grinded up myself the added makko I made a small batch a few weeks ago then put them in a airtight container. I also want to say I keep my apartment at 70 degrees because I have catcus plants. I went and opened the container to use one of the cones and everything had mold. Can you give me some tips because I don't know what happened I made these to give to family and friends but I need to start over now.

Hi I have just bought Baieido makko and Im having some trouble here and would be very grateful if you could help me! I was using the ratio of 1 resin to 3 parts of base material (sandalwood or chorcoal) and it was doing fine, but with makko, Im thinking that the spice scent of the makko is too strong. Can you tell me a good ratio to keep the makko scent “silenced “ but still burning constantly?

thanks for sharing your expertise! following your nice videos, all the incense I make work, but not so well as I wish. or as I guess they must burn as I learn with you, all things are dry but my cones are hard to start and sometimes the burn stop just a small portion of xantana gum work fine as binder salitre add some nice fireworks - if in the recipe burn never stop but it is not so natural and sometimes dangerous. cedar is nice too, vegetal coal, sawdust from good woods I don't use essential oils because the price but I guess they can help a lot in the burn. maybe this is what I am missing? all work but if possible, please tell some easy way to increase the temperature and burn more, or faster? the ingredients are near free and I wanna make my cones bigger and with a lot of smoke "makko" and "tabu no ki" looks great but import em is not a option to me they can be made with some easy to find components? herbs? dry grass? things like that?

hi, i just made my first batch of cones. i used guar gum, and lavander. but they don’t burn very well. do you think it’s the lavender that’s causing the problem? i used a coffee grinder to grind them, but i didnt sift it through anything because it was kinda fluffy? love the videos by the way!

Where is dis i have also make incense Powder

Good morning

I made cones with makko and it wont stay lit. I have tried making 2 different batches slightly adjusting the makko and resins and still no success. What am I doing wrong

Hello ! You wrote than we could use water or wine in the recipe, what's the difference? Thank you ❤

I 3d printed a incense cone mold, I have acquired excess nag champa incense powder, what would you recommend I use to bind the powder together? Would I also need an type of release agent so the powder doesn't stick to the mold? Thank you in advance.

Hello, I'm from Indonesia, it's your kindness that you can help me, I want to make frankincense from agarwood powder, what ingredients are needed to make it fragrant and durable and the smoke is a lot and it burns, the ingredients available in my country are tabunoki substitutes and makko powder recipe, thank you Alone

Hi, is your website down?

Wonderful and informative 🙏🏽

AMAZING

" It has been rumored that this makko is gray because The Incense Dragon includes the ashes of unscrupulous incense vendors whom he has burnt to dust. The Incense Dragon’s legal advisers continue to strongly deny this mostly unfounded rumor." HAHAHAHA
