How long does it take for a scented candle to burn for the first time?

Burn for at least 20 minutes each time. Generally speaking, the longer the burning time is from 20 to 40 minutes, the more fragrant and fresh the room will be. However, it is best not to burn for more than two hours, otherwise the fragrance will be too full and may be counterproductive. If you smell high-quality candles too much, your nose will become picky and you will be able to distinguish the quality of scented candles. Most candles are contained in glass, so it is best not to burn for more than 3 hours because the heat resistance of glass is not so good. It is best to light a candle for more than 20 minutes, not just 5 to 10 minutes. If it is not burned enough, the wax oil on the edge of the cup will not melt, and the middle of the candle will burn down, but the edge of the cup will not burn, and the life of the candle will be shortened. And don't blow the candle with your mouth, which will not only damage the candle, but also produce black smoke and smoky smell. The correct way is to use a fire extinguisher to dip the candle wick into the wax or directly cover the candle wick, and then straighten it.

What kind of material is good for scented candles

It is best to choose candles containing a lot of soy wax, beeswax or vegetable wax. These are all natural raw materials. They are all biodegradable and produce almost no black smoke or toxic substances when burned. If you can't see the ingredient list, you can also make a preliminary identification from the appearance. The higher the content of soy wax and vegetable wax, the harder and more opaque the candle shape is, and vice versa, the candle shape is relatively soft. Scented candles with too many industrial ingredients and flavors and fragrances not only make people unable to feel the wonderful experience brought by burning, but are also likely to endanger people's health, which is more terrible than breathing haze. Coconut wax is a better wax than soy wax, and it will also be relatively expensive. It has a mild melting point and is purely natural. Larger brands generally use more coconut wax. If you pursue big brands, you can buy it and try it.

The aromatherapy candle is concave in the middle and there are candles on both sides

You can let the candle continue to burn by itself. Because the burning temperature will melt the wax on the edge and continue to burn underneath. You can continue a cotton thread. You can take the medical cotton at home and knead it into a line, dip it in melted wax and fix it in the middle, then light it, pick up the candle and tilt it, let the fire burn to the edge, and the melted wax on the edge will flow to the middle. Burn it in a circle, and when the surface of the candle is flat, you can continue to burn it. If the candle has a 10 cm hole, you can cut off 5 cm and crush it into the remaining pit, and then light it. When you use the aromatherapy candle for the first time, burn it fully. When you use the aromatherapy candle for the first time, let it burn for a longer time and let the melting range of the wax expand to the edge, so that a flat wax pool can be formed, and there will be no memory ring when burning later. The candle wick of the aromatherapy candle is generally required to be in the center of the wax pool. If it is bent to one side, the candle on this side will burn faster and form an uneven wax pool. Remember to trim the wick before lighting a candle, leaving only 3-5mm in length. If the wick is too long, the flame will be larger, which will not only cause uneven heating of the candle surface, but also cause black smoke and odor.

How to use the scented candle when the wick is gone

Replace a thick cotton thread in the melted candle oil, and it will be the same as the candle wick after it dries. The burning of the candle we see is not the burning of solid paraffin, but the ignition device ignites the cotton wick, and the heat released causes the solid paraffin to melt, then vaporize, and generate paraffin vapor, which is flammable. When the candle is lit, the initial burning flame is small, and then gradually becomes larger. The flame is divided into three layers (outer flame, inner flame, and flame core). The flame core is mainly candle vapor, with the lowest temperature. The inner flame paraffin is not fully burned, and the temperature is higher than the flame core. Because there are some carbon particles, the outer flame is fully in contact with the air, the flame is the brightest, the combustion is complete, and the temperature is the highest. Therefore, when a matchstick is quickly placed flat in the flame and taken out after about 1 second, the part of the matchstick that contacts the outer flame will turn black first.
