r/Candles

Hi, yesterday I lit a candle and set the intention for it to help me remove blockages, and I passed it over my body, but it turned out this color. Does anyone know what it means?

New candle, and a question for those who use warmers!

I was debating whether or not to spend $120 on a candle because I already spend so much on fragrances, and I almost bought a dupe, but something possessed to me to pull the trigger, partially because I use a warmer and my candles all last a very long time. I don't know much about candles, but it fills the room with scent nicely without being overbearing, and it looks wonderful under the warmer. Very happy with the purchase! On a side note, this is a new warmer to replace an old one that I got tired of, and the instructions said to pour out wax after every 5-6 uses. Is this something I have to do? It feels wasteful. And how much wax exactly?

Have been burning those tiny 3.5 hour ikea candles in the bathroom for a year or more,for better atmosphere. The left overs and saved in a pasta sauce jar. recently it got full so I melt it into a big candle, very excited to light this abomination, smells alright.

I made these cinnamon orange olive oil candles a little while ago.

Just sharing. Anybody else use their candles as giant wax melts so they last longer?

walmart sold this candle back in 2020 and it never returned i have yet to smell anything similar if anyone knows a good similar candle pls let me know! :)

I know next to none about wax warmers. I use leftover candle wax in my melter and all I smell is hot ceramic. This is over 10 years old and I wonder if it needs to me tossed. I noticed red wax on the bottom on the hot plate… I can’t tell you the last time I had red wax. So, I’m guessing there’s a crack and wax is leaking though.

Now… should I toss the whole thing? Base and all? Replace just the wax holder part (is this even possible?).

Are there safer units now that doesn’t use a wildly hot light bulb?

Any tips would be much appreciated!

More Info: Better Homes and Gardens Wax Melter. It was bought around 2013-2016ish.

I have a large jar candle from Yankee Candle, every time I use it the flames go very small/dim in less than an hour. Anything I can do to fix this? Sorry for the low quality pics, it was hard to get a good photo!

Enchanted woods is my current favorite 🤭

Bought this candle made by Freshne. Made out of soy/coconut wax blend. After about 20 min or so these circles appear. Never have seen something like this before.

Came out like a penis . I think I used too much wax.

Melted old candles and made a coffee candle . Tried one out. It smells really good.
