Updated: Mar 30, The fuel, made of some sort of wax The wick, made of some sort of absorbent twine. The paraffin vapor flows up the tube and is the fuel for this second flame. When you blow out a candle, you notice a stream of white smoke leaving the wick. This stream is paraffin vapor that has condensed into a visible form. It continues to form as long as the wick is hot enough to vaporize paraffin. If you touch a lit match to the stream, a flame will run down it and re-light the wick.
Candles are mainly made out of paraffin wax, a hydrocarbon and petroleum byproduct, although you can find other types of waxes, like beeswax. When you light a candle, it produces other chemicals such as volatile organic compounds and toxic gases. Is it the wick or wax that burns? The wax and the wick work together in a candle. The lighted wick begins to heat up the wax and turn it into liquid. The liquid wax then gets absorbed by the wick and vaporizes it. The wax vapor burns and keeps the candle lit.
How does a candle relight? A blown-out candle releases a stream of white smoke from the wick. This white smoke is paraffin wax in vaporized form and is still hot enough to relight. That does not mean that you have to light all 3 wicks, or even that you always should. How you choose to use your 3-wick candle depends on what you would like, and you have plenty of options and benefits to keep in mind.
Picking up a candle lighter to light all 3 wicks without burning yourself might seem like a hassle, but there is a purpose behind candles having three wicks. The first is that the even heat distribution makes them last longer, and not just because these candles are usually larger. The heat does not go straight through the middle, as it does with a single wick candle.
Instead, it burns all the wax. Most people assume that if you light all 3 wicks, the candle will burn faster due to their being three heat sources. However, this is not true. The heat reaches all the way to the edges of the candle, which makes it burn longer than a single wick candle would. Also, a three-wick candle has more wax. These candles have to be larger to accommodate the extra wicks, so it all balances out. There is no law that states you have to light one or three wicks.
You can even light two if you would like. How many wicks you choose to light should depend on what you want out of the candle. There are key benefits to lighting just one of the three wicks, as there are to lighting all three at once.
If you would like to use your 3-wick candle to fill the house with a fresh aroma, lighting all 3 wicks at once is the way to go. This will help the candle burn more wax at once, resulting in a stronger scent.
If you are attempting to cover up an odor or make your house smell fresh before the family comes over, light them all. Lighting one wick at a time will make your candle last three times as long as it normally would. Most people avoid this to prevent the uneven heat distribution, which results in half the wax being burned at a time, but you can get around this. If you choose to light one wick at a time, rotate the wick that you light each time so that a portion of the wax burns all the way around the candle.
Ambient light is something to consider when lighting candles. Lighting three wicks at a time will create more light and add more warmth to the room. Lighting one wick still provides a certain amount of ambient light, but it is limited. Consider how much light you would like when deciding whether to light one or three wicks.
You will still see uneven burning. Candles may not burn evenly, or they may crater in the center resulting in a dip in the middle that looks less than appealing.
So do not panic. For the wooden wicks, the heat from the wick will need to draw some wax through it before it starts to burn smoothly. Give it a try after another; the lighting and burning will get easier as you continue. The best technique when you are burning a wooden wick is tilting it at an angle. Wooden wicks are eco-friendly, so do not shy away from buying wooden wicks due to the slight technicality of how to light them.
This problem is specific to you if you are using a wooden wick. It will also not burn if it requires a trim to clean the charred material off. The flame draws the wack upwards through its wick. To trim your wood wick, a set of cutters or nail clippers will do the trick. You can also pinch and use your fingers plus a napkin to just break off the parts of the wick that are burnt. Pro tip : Make sure you first let your candle cool every time you want to do a trim. This will prevent bits of wick material or ash being left inside the melted wax after you trim.
Its a lot easier to clean up the wax when it is hard and cold. This is because the flame ends up burning the wick too fast. A wick lacking enough body will not manage to feed its flame with all the surrounding wax. Such a wick will grow smaller and smaller, eventually, sink away into the liquid wax.
It could potentially end up in a tunnel if it manages to burn longer. Consider your intended candle size, then shop for candle wicks with this in mind instead of buying the wicks first. Wicks are not equal; they all come with different levels of thickness.
Depending on your type of wax and candle size, your wick will need to be a specific diameter of your candle. Whatever you do, make sure that you match the wick size to the colorant. The wax melting and cooling processes are also quite intriguing.
