r/Candles

I placed an order with Spill The Tea Sis Apothecary on 8/23 and never received it. I sent multiple emails… no answer. I called them…their voicemail is full. So I filed complaints on Shop and they finally replied saying they would look into my order. That was several weeks ago and still nothing. I would never recommend ordering from them. 😞

Hey candle gang,

I’m new to candles. Recently I’ve grown to really like them.

I spend lots of time studying in my room at night. I realized that this made my room smell not so great. Consequently, I stole a candle from my mom’s room and started using it. I found the little flame quite soothing and the smell levelled up my room in my opinion.

That being said, the candle I used is done now. Since then I’ve bought another candle, used it all up, but the smell was meh.

Now I’m on the search for a good candle. That’s why I’m here. I need a candle that…

• Has a unisex smell. Male scents are so in your face lol. But I’m a guy, so I don’t want a smell thats too feminine.
• Not too strong. Strong smells are distracting to me.
• Not too expensive. I went through my last two candles pretty quick. I don’t want to BURN through my cash lol (~$10 or less)

Like I said, I’m new, so I haven’t really narrowed down the exact vibe I like in a candle smell. I’m really open to any suggestions people may have.

Thanks a lot candle gang

Ps. Should I go for single wick or 3 wick candles?

Hey candle lovers, would like some advice here.
I’ve been putting out my candles using the wick dipper method but instead of an actual wick dipper I use a paper clip. Anywyas, I find that when I do this method, the wax gets all black and sooty, am I doing it correct or is this just how it is?
I’m burning a bath and body works candle and I trim the wick. Thanks!
