Store bought candle from Kohl’s

[CandleRush]

This morning I’m currently burning a candle from Kohl’s. Sonoma brand, sugared vanilla, much like pink sugar, guessing its paraffin?

 

I cant tell what kind of wick. Judged on the last pick someone might know.

 

initally when I lit it it Tourched and a second later the flame stabilized to 1/2 inch, maybe slightly less. It seemed under wicked.

 

Melt pool was very close to an inch per hour so that was good.

 

First hour the flame was average, however, 2 hours later close to no flame.

 

first pic, initially lit after it Tourched. second pic, 2 hour burn. third pic close up of wick/ flame

 

The jar is 3in. Wide by 2 1/2 inches tall, no wet spots, no frosting. The throw is average and could not smell anything until an hour into the burn.

 

Disappointing!

Update, the flame is just about extinguished unless I save it by paper-toweling the melt pool but a consumer should not have to do this!

I guess we all have that one vanilla blend that drowns ALL the wicks.

That’s a goner. Jeesh you would think someone actually tests wicks. Similar I purchased two candles from West Elm hipster brands.

can I tell you both tunneled and burned so bad it was shocking!

Time for a wickectomy! Save and improve that loser candle.

This candle is scheduled for surgery, just waiting on the proper surgical instrument. 

 

The Doctor on call is Dr. Candlerush, it will be her first wickectomy. 

 

Stay tuned!
