Sometimes the wick burns out. Why is this? I have to keep scooping out wax &amp; relighting wick. This happens approx. 1out of 4 candles.

You initially lit the wick when it was too close to the wax.... Next time don't put as much wax.... Make sure the wick is about 1/2 inch I believe above the wax when you light it.

Depending on size of glass container and heat of bee's wax you can use a hot glue gun to tack down the wick. I'm assuming the candle will remain in glass container when lit. Otherwise you're stuck with metal tab. I don't recommend using any wick with an internal wire stiffener as the metal vapors go into the air. Okay for large open areas; not so good for small rooms. Hope this helps, a craft shop might have more ideas.

I use these all the time and I don't have any problems with them. It might be your burn speed is set to high.

Hi. I used a drink can tab and tied the wick around the tab and hot glued to bottom of container. The only problem I had was when I pored the wax the tab came loose. So the next time I let the wax cool a bit more and it stayed better. But im not sure how it will hold up when you burn the candle.

exactly.it all depends on how long you run it,depends on the wick changing.

Lighter fluid but u have to use another lighter to light it unless you buy a new wick for it.

I have made a candel in a glass container that is 2 3/4" in diameter and when the candel burnes there is a 1/4" of wax left on the edge. So I guess if you want the wax to fully burn down you will have to use a small container. Oh an I used bees wax. This is just my experience I do not know the 'correct' answere. and this is the first time I made a candle. Hope this helps.

No, the wicks are completely different. The wick in the hand warmer is more like a ball of cotton that acts like a glowing ember. There's really no open flame you could use to light a candle.

First of all, there should be only a tiny bit of wick above the hole in the stopper.Second, I've never used citronella so I can't address how it may burn compared to regular lamp oil.Third, I haven't used mine yet so am not sure of this brand. I've only used "Wine Lights" brand in the past.Fourth, once the wick burns down, blow out flame, let it cool, use tweezers to pull up the wick, trim it off with scissors and start the process again.That's all I can offer. Cheers!

Hi Ed, No worries. As per our email communication, we will replace the candles for you promptly. By the way such issue is really rare in our selling history and sure will look into that.

The heaters are delivered with wicks already installed. I've used mine a half dozen times and there is no sign that the wicks are degrading. The wick forms a circle inside the unit. Eventually the wick will have to be replaced. I will go back to the manufacturer for that. I hopes this helps even though I didn't really answer your question.

It sounds like it could be either: water in the kerosene, or carbon build up on the wick. Check the wick, it should be soft. If you can see carbon on it, or it feels hard, do a dry burn. Check your owners manual for directions, but be sure to let the heater go through a dry burn cycle outdoors.....it can be very smoky. Good luck.

What's the problem? If it doesn't melt the wax, you need to turn the dial to right, and probably you should keep the cover on. If that doesn't work, are you sure the unit is getting power? Apart from that, I suppose the unit is defective - mine works fine.

Possibly, is it 100% beeswax? the larger the wick the hotter the candle will get, if you need the heat and do not care if it melts all the wax in your small tea candle. it sould work.

Mine has been disappointing about staying lit fully under ANY condiitons, and with wind it goes partially out and emits black smoke with a horrible oder even after having the wick proffessionally replaced.

I have four of those. Same thing happened to one of mine. I recommend a lamp dimmer. Saves energy, and the look is warmer and better in my opinion. I think mine blew cause I had all four of them on one extension cord. But after installing the dimmer I haven't had any more problems.

if it smells strong, it's because of the fuel, you can turn it down a little and it won't smell as strong, we do not run ours on high because of that. I believe adjusting the wick will fix flame.
