I bought my aunt a candle with a wood wick. She became obsessed with them. She doesn't use her fireplace anymore, but now she has wood wick candles on risers in there. She likes that it sounds like a fireplace but doesn't get the house smokey, lol.
I keep old candle pots & jars, when i have a disappointing amount of a candle left... I add a new wick to a clean jar and remelt the remaining wax in either the mike or on a double boiler and make "new" candle. Might sound cheap, but if i buy a candle i expect to use the whole thing!
❤❤❤ I do this. Otherwise you’re just throwing away good candle and nice jars. I try to reuse all of my glass jars. I avoid plastic, but I will reuse it as planters.
I love the idea of this candle! Not sure that it was effective but id love to see similar candles. I hate all the leftover wax on the sides of standard candles. Very frustrating
I collect all the leftovers and make fire starters. I know a lot of outdoorsy people and charcoal grill lovers and they never say no to a few fire starters. People also make new candles, arts and crafts, balms and wax melts, etc.
I have no clue how it's currently being made, but I can tell you knowing the person who invented this that it was never what I would consider a "passion project", as it was really more about starting a company and selling a product than making something he personally was really into (though he really enjoyed the engineering challenges) and never originally involved 3D printers, instead he developed custom manufacturing techniques that were pretty cool but were largely things he made out of whatever he could get his hands on. For instance, the molds were just cut metal tubes, with the inside one having the spiral wick stuck on it. He sold the rights for making these many years ago so he's no longer involved in it, and I have no clue how big an operation the current owners run.
I mean. If uou buy a candle that says it "lasts 30 hours" and that candle "lasts 30 hours", you likely got what you paid for lol 😂. Why is chat so negative about this haha
Right? It reminds of the people that buy the cheap fan and get upset in 10 years when it breaks. "This fan I got for 24$ and left on 24/7 for the last 10 years stopped working?! Wtf"

This is correct. Most nice candles you buy tell you it’s best to burn in increments of like 2-5 hours depending on the candle diameter and type. Let’s it heat up and melt and resolidify in a consistent way.
@@Marines_Memelevolent the complaint doesn’t make sense though because it’s just the wax with no glass metal nothing to contain it so obviously you would want wax that is on melted to contain the melted wax right play otherwise that just doesn’t make sense
@@andrelunaisatuna yeah but also the difference is this candle doesn't have any glass or anything. If it melted all the way to the sides the wax would spill
Pillar candles are actually designed to tunnel like this, precisely to accommodate the fact that it is without a jar. You don't want molten wax spilling all over your apartment floor, or the wick becoming unstable as the sides of the candle collapse, resulting in an open flame moving around. The actual wax is different from normal candles, and creates a hard edge around the outside. It is still melt-able, as you saw through the direct flame around the edge, but with a smaller wick inside it won't heat up enough. The wax is designed to withstand higher temps specifically to tunnel through.
Unfortunately there seems to be an obsession with today's candle market and culture to sell candles without a glass or metal receptacle to hold them in. Leading to designs like this where they simply make them too large in circumference. If I were to design a candle I would sell a pricey beautiful glass candle holder and sell the candles as you've seen in the video smaller in circumference so that all of the wax is melted leading to a more complete burn. And those candles would be replaceable and you would just pop one on top
Basically a traditional candle design. And less wasteful because you don't have all those glass containers you have no idea what to do with. The first 10 you can likely repurpose for something else, but 20, 30, 40?
This may seem weird, but I actually felt like the tunneling was useful and purposeful here, because it essentially allowed it to keep it's shape as it burned to the bottom rather than go everywhere
At first glance it appears to be a standard candle but on closer inspection it is not in fact a type 1a supernova, and, in fact it may be the cause of the crisis in cosmology 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
I hate those bamboo wicks. They always produce an enormous and erratic flame from my experience. Even when i trim it down. The only solution is to light it for a minute, then eat away at the wick that's burning until the flame is tame and nice. And yet next time i light it it burns wild again. They're so weird.
I believe youre not supposed to burn any candle more then a few hours at a time, as well as should burn it for a minimum time as well to make it burn evenly
Shame they couldn't figure out a way to have the wick in the walls of the candle jump to the middle instead of just having the user light it twice. As it is right now, it burns way too fast and leaves a bunch of wax unburned.
This is an awesome innovation. It took care of two problems at once. Less wax waste and no mess! That’s a huge W for candle designs. May sound sarcastic. But this was a very intelligent design.
@@kevinmadcock8999the National Candle Association. You're not supposed to burn candles for longer than what the manufacturer states (usually 2-3 hours) because the wick starts to mushroom and creates a large flame that melts the wax unevenly
I was about to say the design looks bad. I only make candles as a small hobby, but still lol. Plus that wood wick was like 8x longer than it should be when he lit it. No wonder he cut to another shot where it was trimmed significantly shorter. Also, the spiral wick thing is just not a good idea. The walls could cave in causing the fire to fall over next to the candle. Then you have an extra open flame next to a ton of fuel.
@@strxwbxrry_420 The spiral wick is for novelty, and is perfectly safe (unless the people currently producing it have severely deviated from the design my brother-in-law came up with). I've never heard of the walls caving in, and the only fire I've ever heard of was due to someone not being smart enough to take the label off before lighting it.
Wax also has a memory so with the edges being burned first it will take longer for the walls to melt. Candle did exactly what it claimed and made use of that memory to retain thick enough walls to prevent melt through and spill over. In my opinion it’s a well designed candle.
For those using glass jar candles. Once the wax is used up, the leftover wax you cant burn can be collected for firestarter kits. And the jar can be cleaned and cut for typically some nice glassware. Dad does it all the time, good drinking glass
That’s pretty awesome, with the tunneling, or any big candles like that, you’re supposed to do something called “hug” the candle, when you press the edges in after you put it out, each time, you kinda mold it in and down so the top edges will melt “evenly”
How would anyone saying it's not even know? Could be exactly what it was designed for. I can think of many ways a long burning candle going round and round initially would be useful. Given, I'm not saying it is. I just wanted to point out the certainty being too thick
Yeah, it would’ve been a lot better. If you would’ve done it properly you’re only supposed to burn a candle for half an hour to an hour to keep it from tunneling because if you have a puddle of wags, it will start to melt the other wax that doesn’t need to be melted yet because it’s so hot causing tunnel
With a situation like that with the wax where it only goes out in the middle I get some tinfoil, and wrap it around so that it collects up the heat. It does work especially with candles that have three of the strings in it.
I grate all my leftover candles and mix essential oils with the granules before pressing them down around a wood wick. I use two wicks for wider candles
It's important to "hug" your candles. It's the process of wrapping your hands around the rim of the candle and squeezing it gently inward so this side are pushed in instead of standing up straight. You should do it with all pillar candles.
I think the walls are purosful, seems that they meant it to keep the hot wax from falling to the sides, which us actually really nice. Same with the wic placement, it seems angled inwards so that it melts the wax inside then out so it falls in.
Almost all candles tunnel, wood wick has consistently for me. My late aunt sampled so many brands and finally just decided to start learning how to make candles from the leftover wax. I’m trying to do the same as well because it is frustrating especially with the crazy cost of everything now and candles averaging at $20 each.
I hear "standard candle" and I think supernova. Because supernovae happened at a certain threshold, they are a very specific brightness, which makes the brightness we can observe from here is a very accurate measure of their relative distance, helping us map the universe.
I've never u used this type, but I've bought many a candle. I know with regular ones you have to allow the wax to solidify if you don't want tunneling. Not that you need this info, but the smoke and carbon in a candle happens when the fabric wick is too long. I love your channel btw ❤️
Ok so if you melt it down and add a essential oil for scent if there's no scent in a heat safe container while mixing so you can reharden it afterwards in pieces perfect for a wax burner for wax melts if you want to. My mom melts down the leftover wax of candles if they smell nice to turn them into wax melts for her wax burner.
My grandmother would always tend to a candle, if I was watching a movie with my grandparents she would sometimes grab a butter knife and cut off the edges and tend to it make sure it wasn't getting drowned (or at least this is what I thought she was doing I could be wrong)

Adding wick all the way down, but creating a small divide would do the trick.
Ok so if you melt it down and add a essential oil for scent if there's no scent in a heat safe container while mixing so you can reharden it afterwards in pieces perfect for a wax burner for wax melts if you want to. My mom melts down the leftover wax of candles if they smell nice to turn them into wax melts for her wax burner.
I think the fact that the walls didn’t melt is a good thing because there’s less mess!
That's fantastic I want one!!
Biggest fire hazard in existence
My grandmother would always tend to a candle, if I was watching a movie with my grandparents she would sometimes grab a butter knife and cut off the edges and tend to it make sure it wasn't getting drowned (or at least this is what I thought she was doing I could be wrong)
Dude I love it!
I love this!! ❤
I'd love such a candle, but as an aroma candle!

If it was govlet shaped this would probably be an easy fix actually, but should be burned in a jar though.
