Candle Care

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CANDLE

Be sure to use a wick trimmer to trim the wick to at least 1/4 inch before each burn: Untrimmed wicks can produce larger flames and excessive soot. Larger flames will produce more heat inside the glass.
Burn for a minimum of one hour: To encourage an even melt pool and to avoid tunneling, burn for at least an hour. Candle waxes form patterns and burn from memory. 
Avoid burning more than 4hs. at a time: All glass vessels have the potential to crack with extended heat.
More Tips 
  • Always burn candles within sight on a candle plate
  • Never burn for more than four hours each time
  • Avoid Drafts 
  • Keep away from children, pets and flammable objects
  • Never move a burning candle
  • Stop use when 1/4 inch of wax remains to avoid a cracked vessel
  • Relax and Enjoy your new Twisted Flames scent! 

Wax Melters

All warmers are not equal! There are typically 3-4 popular types:

  • Tea light: uses a small tea light with an open flame. One must be extra careful and use on a heat-safe surface. Burns hotter than electric, so it may burn your fragrance more quickly.
  • Electric w/Bulb: These are becoming more popular and use the heat of a halogen bulb to melt the wax. Wattage and room size depend on scent throw. Typically, 25w-35w are enough for a pleasant scent throw, but the user must determine what is best depending on preference. 
  • Hot Plate: Plugs in and uses a heated pad with a dish placed on top. Wattage can be a factor in scent throw and usually, wattage is lower in these than those with a bulb.
  • Plug-Ins: These go straight into the socket and use a small "Christmas" like bulb. The wattage is usually around 15w. These are fine for small rooms. You must be careful, as they are easily knocked over if placed down low, but they come in cute decorative patterns. Great for offices!

*Always check the maximum wattage of your warmer and read/follow all instructions and warnings for safe usage.
