CandleRush Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 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!

CandleRush Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pughaus Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I guess we all have that one vanilla blend that drowns ALL the wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Time for a wickectomy! Save and improve that loser candle. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleRush Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 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! 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
