Review on SHIXIANG Wooden Candle Smokeless Natural Crafting by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Burned out quickly and only lasted 1 hour after burning.

Wick Test Configuration: Gold/AAK 464 Natural Soy 8 oz can 6.3 fl oz filled with line fill wax No flavors or coloring. Flame, and the created tunnel will burn. Possibly too small a wick, although based on the diameter measurement, one wick should have sufficed. Result B: 2 wicks centered together. Problems with the initial lighting. In the end it was possible to get a steady flame, but after about an hour the flame was completely out. The radius of the melt reaches almost to the edge of the can. Melt the pool at the appropriate level. At this stage, however, the struggle to keep the candle burning is a challenge, even if proper wood wick methods are followed. I can only give 2 stars because the price was right for the purchase price of €6.99 for 50 wicks. Also, when the flame burns out, you don't smell the usual burning wick smell that fills the air, which is pleasant compared to cotton wicks. However, I'm not sure about the quality of these wicks. I used 3 wicks in total and they all ended up showing the same results. Maybe I got a bad batch, it's hard to tell, but I think wooden wicks from a reputable candle shop would be my next step.
