Black smoke is coming out of my candle, what do I do?

It's important to note that all candles, not just wood wick candles, can produce black smoke if burned for an extended period. To prevent this, simply trim the wick to 1/8 inch before each use. Regular wick trimming not only promotes a cleaner burn but also contributes to the candle's environmental safety and longevity.

Accidentally cut the wood wick too short and now it won’t light, what do I do?

No need to fret; this is a common occurrence! If your candle burns for a brief duration, just use a napkin to absorb the excess melted wax, and it should return to its normal burn. In case your candle doesn't light at all, try scraping away some of the excess wax around the wood wick and attempt to light it again. The wax serves as the fuel for the wick, and having too much fuel can hinder the candle from igniting.

Why isn’t the candle wick staying lit?

From time to time, the wick may become clogged with wax and fragrance. Here's a helpful tip: extinguish the flame, let the candle cool, trim the wick's tip, and gently twist the wick with your fingers to loosen its fibers. This will enhance the wick's ability to efficiently absorb both fragrance and wax.

Why is the candle tunneling with build-ups?

Tunneling in a candle is often the result of insufficient burning time for the wax to create an even pool from edge to edge. To remedy this, if you notice tunneling, try burning the candle for 3-4 hours to enable it to self-correct. Continue burning in 3-4 hour intervals until the candle has fully rectified the tunneling issue.

Why Isn’t the candle releasing a strong fragrance scent?

The perception of fragrance is a matter of personal preference, and the intensity of scents can vary. Consider relocating the candle to a different spot. A general guideline is to use single-wick candles in smaller rooms, opt for double-wick candles in medium-sized spaces, and go for triple-wick candles in larger rooms to achieve the desired fragrance level.

Why is the candle release soot?

Soot is a common byproduct of burning candles naturally. When your candle consistently produces soot, it may be due to factors such as an accumulation of carbon on the wicks, neglecting to trim the wicks, overextending the burn time, or placing the candle in an area where it's exposed to drafts from vents. To reduce excessive soot, consider trimming the wicks to 1/8 inches, relocating your candle, or extinguishing it after it has been burning for more than 3-4 hours.
