Drafts are the culprit – causing the flame to burn to one side. Another reason could be that the holder
is not resting on a level surface and the wick is not centered and straight.
Our wicks contain no lead. Candle-lite has been manufacturing quality candles in the USA since 1840 and has never used lead or metal core wicks. The consumer’s safety is paramount and our goal is to produce the safest and highest quality candle products.
Once again the key to this answer is proper burning conditions. Always trim wicks to 1/4″ before lighting. If a high flame or smoking is noted during a burn, extinguish, trim the wick again to 1/4″ and relight. Drafts can also be an important factor. They can cause a candle to burn unevenly exposing more wick than necessary. Remember, air vents, open windows and overhead fans all create air currents that will cause the flame to smoke.
To avoid any possibility of the flame coming in contact with the bottom or sidewall of the glass container, we recommend you stop burning when there is 1/2″ of hard, unmelted, not liquid, wax remaining. Some wax should remain on the bottom for safety’s sake! Always burn jar candles and all decorative candles on a heat resistant surface.
This activity is frequently called mushrooming. This is a clear sign to extinguish, trim the wick back to 1/4″ and relight. Take care not to drop any of the trimmings or any other foreign material in the pool of wax. This “mushroom” formation typically will form when the candle is burning too fast.
We recommend burning for up to four hours at each lighting to receive the most efficient and safe use of your jar candles. Allow the candle to cool, trim the wick to ¼” and relight.
Candle-lite has been manufacturing quality decorative candles in the USA since 1840, and our dedication to quality is as keen as it was more than 160 years ago. Industry leadership has been earned through a continuous commitment to safety, product quality and corporate responsibility. When you see the Candle-lite name you know that you have purchased one of the best scented candles on the market!
Candle-lite’s fragrance team is constantly evaluating new fragrances, collaborating with vendors and studying market trends to bring you that lifelike and real true fragrance experience that you have come to expect from us. All other details are our secret gift to you as a Candle-lite consumer!
We understand the importance of your fragrance experience and strive to provide you with the very best scented candles. “Cold throw” is what you experience when the candle is not burning and “hot throw” occurs when it is burning. Fragrance is emitted into the air from the melted wax pool.
Essential oils are extracted from a variety of flowers, herbs and fruits. Some examples might be lavender, orange or grapefruit in the citrus family or perhaps spearmint. Essential oils are natural and are not compounded in a laboratory. The use of these oils is yet another enhancement of your fragrance experience.
Consumer attitudes, lifestyle trends as well as color and market inspirations change on an ongoing basis. Candle-lite’s product development team strives to present fragrance collections that are consistently on trend for today’s discerning candle consumer.
We do have retail & wholesale partners for our products. If you are interested in becoming a wholesale partner, please reach out to our sales team at [email protected]
