When you receive your candle, make sure to trim your wick to 1/8 - 1/2" using a wick trimmer or nail clippers (works great for wooden wicks!)
Always remove excess carbon build-up to avoid smoke. Place your candle on a heat-safe surface such as a candle holder. Place away from any nearby objects such as lamps, books, paper, drapes etc.
With a wooden wick, you want to see the flame about 1-2" high. If it's higher or smoking, extinguish the flame and trim the wick before lighting again. For our cotton wicks, never let the flame become bigger than 3/4 - 1".
Wax has a memory! On your first burn, it's important to burn the candle until a melt pool reaches the edges of the vessel to avoid the wax tunnelling. This will take approximately 3-4 hours on our 10oz candles and 1 hour on our 2oz candles.
Our wooden wicks are made from completely natural wood and each one has its own individual characteristics! This means you need to observe each candle carefully to make sure the wick is behaving properly. Always trim your wick before the next burn.
We wish you the most magical, immersive experience when burning our candles!
