Candles

Are you burning these candles in a room that is free of drafts? A ceiling fan can wreak havoc on a candle too. Also, if they are pillar candles you should hug(push in towards the center) the soft wax after burning them for a while. This will help them to burn evenly.

I enjoy the smell of burning candles and when it is dark, the way it lights up the room! If you don't have any thing contributing to the way it is burning, such as a ceiling fan, or vent, then it might just be the candle or the way the wick was placed inside. And if you just want the smell of the candle around the house you could try on of those candle warmers!! :D

I tend to turn mine round regularly so that any drafts from people walking past etc are evenly distributed and I still cannot stop the one side melt, although it is ok for a while. I think the quality of the candle wax and the correct positioning of the wick may have something to do with it. Fat ones seem to just go in the middle, my vanilla one in the lounge has now got a hole in the side and I tried really hard to get it to burn evenly.

Some candles will not burn evenly because of their poor quality materials. It is not an insult...really! I have candles like that. That is why there is Candle Lit candles and a few others that do burn evenly. Also, some people make a mistake of not burning them long enough. When the candle is not burned long enough, it will not melt evenly. But also the flip side of burning too long. LOL Or if there is a ceiling fan that mayb be effecting the direction of the flame. If you really want to get a candle that burns evenly, you will need to buy the candles that promotes an even burn. But other than that...I will just be happy burning my candles. I love candles!!!

I do too. My favor scent is vanilla. I have found something better than candles they are called tarts you might have hard of them. Much cleaner and easier to use.

you're not buying good candles if they aren't buring evenly. If you need a good place to buy great candles from, let me know.

I also like candles and I try to burn candles while the power is off and also when I wanted to save electricity. I have not seen any scented candles, but would like to know more about it and would love to use one.

I bought one of those plug in candle burners where the candle basically turns to liquid from the bottom. I like it because if you lose the candle wick, you can find it. Plus it makes it burn evenly as opposed to lighting it.

I have always heard to hug the candle, push it in on the sides if it is a 3 wick candle. Me personally, I sell candles that burn evenly. These are the best I have truly found. Yankee candles burn to quickly. It is like you light them a couple of times and BOOM they are gone. I found this company and have fallen in love with it. It is called Diamond Creek Candles. Please feel free to visit my website... www.diamondcreekcandles.com/c111 These candles are wonderful. They burn cool, not hot. They are soot free, which is a plus for me with a baby. They last longer than anyother candle I have had in a long time.

Thanks for this discussion, i have never heard about candles that emit some odor, do they add some scent to the wax or the wick, we have incense sticks that produce sweet smell. You must not burn candles under a fan or near window.
