If your wood wick keeps going out, your wick may be too long or too short. In order to have a proper burn, you will need to trim the wick to 3mm~5mm each time before burning. To trim the wick, the easier way is to pinch the black burnt parts with a tissue. Another way is to use nail clippers or a wick trimmer.

Similar to the flaming out question, if the wick is too long, it can cause flickering. If the flame gets too little or too much air or fuel, it can flicker or flare and unburned carbon particles (soot) will escape from the flame before they can fully combust. So make sure to trim your wick before lighting.

Bumpy surfaces are super common with soy wax which is part of our natural coconut and soy wax— it happens when the candle cools at an inconsistent rate. Sometimes your candle can dry with an uneven surface and sometimes it will dry smoothly. The good news? This is all-natural and does not affect the performance of your candle.

This is called tunneling. When a candle was not burnt all the way to the container's edges, it can start to tunnel. The first time you light and enjoy your new candle sets the stage for how well the candle will perform throughout its lifetime. Candle wax has a memory, this means that your candle remembers where it is burnt up to on that first burn and will only ever burn up to the point it was last extinguished.

Sweating can be the result of moving a candle from one temperature to another. Coconut Soy wax is sensitive to extreme temperature changes, causing the natural oils to separate from the wax, leaving the pools of oil we see on top. Sweating will not affect the quality of your candle at all. You can simply wipe off the excess oil with a tissue. To avoid this in the future, make sure to keep your candles away from drafts, direct sunlight and a room that does not vary in temperature. In the summer months, keep your candle in a dry and cool place.

Wax melts do not come with a wick so a wax melter/warmer is required. There are tealight candle wax melters/wamers and there are completely flameless ones that electrical. Electrical wax melters/warmers are for those who enjoys the scents of melting wax without worrying about an active flame.
