Hey all... thought id do a bit of review on this so called amazing wax...
i bought 24 ozs of this stuff and it came in today... waxed it on, all went well... went on smooth, odorless, but it took about a whole ounce to do my board (given i had some crazy edge burn that needed to be saturated)
ill continue this after i scrape, and then ride this saturday.
I'm thinking about buying the hertel super hot sauce wax but I heard alot of people talking about edge burn. Is this wax more prone to edge burn than the others? I'll probably be riding more ice than anything since i'm on the east coast
Edge burn just happens over time no matter what wax is used. Sometimes it occurs sooner due to conditions. From the reviews i don't think it happens any sooner than other brands.
I haven't tried this wax yet but will definitely pick up some at the start of next season. From the sounds of it though i don't think i'll be disappointed.
Bought some Hertel Super Hot Sauce Wax and it says max 190F iron temperature (they recommend around 180F). I'm used to waxing closer to 240F. Anyone use this stuff can comment on the temperature they wax with. Will this wax smoke above 200F?
I know this is an old post, but I'm hoping you guys will be able you help me out. Does Hertel last very long on man made snow? I don't want to be riding man made snow, but thats all I got right now.
I use Hertel hotsauce and am very happy with it's performance and longevity on our man made snow. It is all we have in St. Louis, MO. Though I need to look in to structuring a board after reading a recent thread. Burton Avenger and Snowolf said waxing makes very little difference in most condition and structuring the base give the speed.
Man made snow rips wax out of your deck much faster than natural snow. If riding manmade all the time, I suggest something cheap/bulk(best I've found is a couple brands around $20-25/lb, shipping can make a big difference).
Waxing imho is about 50/50 performance/maintenance. The actual speed advantages are there but certainly also exist in our heads to some degree. Keeping your stick nice and saturated with wax will prevent any kind of "edge burn" and keep you in touch with the bottom of your board as you destroy it over time.
When I ordered some Super Hot Sauce I realized the next day that I had given the wrong postal code. I got in touch with them and they said they had already mailed the wax, but will send another one and if they both arrive not to worry about it.
Still polishing off a bar of swix wax so I haven't used it yet, but if it performs half as well as their customer service then they've earned my loyalty :thumbsup:
hertel is pretty fast for all temp and I like how easy it is to scrape off...but that also means it doesn't last as long on your base as purl or other brands. With hertel, on icier conditions, I get a max of 3 days before I need to re-wax.
on a lesser note, I find it strange they aerate the wax (to make it look bigger?). It's this huge brick, but weighs the same as other brands that are half it's size
I've been waiting over two years for someone to actually review this wax. I've read the site a million times, but never actually heard an actual users experience. Good to hear it is fast, the fact that it doesn't last long doesn't mean much to me, I usually wax before I go out each time anyways ... and I don't know why I didn't see this review when I first joined, guess I didn't think about searching for it here ... either way, thanks for the review
Well I have not ridden on it yet, but that Hertel Hot Sauce made the bottom of my board sparkle like a diamond. 2 thumbs up for appearance so far.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
I love their wax. Tried the fc and spring. Both were great, didn't really notice a difference. I'll get some sauce just b/c it's cheaper and I wax every other day.
I bought a bunch on Hertel's site so the shipping was $28.35 which is ridiculous. That being said, I took my Pick Your Line out today - doused with a liberal serving of hot sauce - and it was awesome. Rode a few hours and the bottom of the board still looks freshly waxed. It was worth every penny. How much did you get, one stick for that shipping cost?????
Ordered one brick (3/4 lbs) but they got the wrong postal code so they shipped me another one right away and told me not to worry about it if they both arrive. They both arrived so it turned into a pretty good deal! For $3.50 I was comfortable ordering one brick to test it out. Maybe it's just our soft rocky mountain snow but I'm having no longevity issues with this wax. The stuff works great.
they don't have the complete selection of hertel products at amazon, but you do get free shipping from them (if you have prime or $25 worth of stuff in your cart)
I've been running the Super Hot Sauce for most of the season until this last weekend in Durango. I ordered up some FC, and I have to say it def felt faster. We all noticed it. I must say, I'm impressed. :thumbsup:
My board stopped speaking English after i waxed with the Super hot sauce. . .INSANE!!
Absolutely blowing by my friends all over the mountain. . .Amazing shit =]
Put some of this stuff on my board and my wife's board. The difference was definitely noticeable. Edge to edge was so fast, I thought I was going to slip! Haha. My wife yelled at me because her board was going too fast.
Has anyone tried their spring wax? It's been really slushy here and this hot sauce is working better than 1BJ pink.
Wondering how their spring mix stacks up against the hot sauce.
