JI Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 There is a candlemaker online advertising their 16 oz double wicked candle (soy) as having a burn time of 240 hrs. They advertise their 8 oz on the sams page as having a bt of 200 hrs. How can this be? My 8.5 oz bt (soy) is 45 hrs. I tell people 40-50 hrs. My double wick bt is 60 hrs. I tell customers 55-65 hrs. Is there some additve to extend bt or are they just exagerrating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Man, I just about spewed my rootbeer onto my laptop.No flippin way. My guess is that the person making those candles is not much of a mathmetician, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chefmom Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I whipped out my wick charts and if you used the smallest ROC out there, .09 ounce per hour you still need a 22 ounce candle. Sorry, but that little 9 ply won't cut it.That's pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JI Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 I just find the gross exagerration really annoying and frankly, misrepresentative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EccoLights Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 This type of thing doesn't ever surprise me anymore... Let them exaggerate... in a few months they won't even be around to remember... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Sooner or later one of their customers will point out to them the burn time error... and they may not be very pleasant about it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
