Why IS THE SCENT THROW BETTER

[gingerinarkansas]

when I burn a candle on a warmer than when I lit the wick? I had a candle that I was testing....16oz jar and I burned the 1st half and trying the second half with the warmers. It had a good throw while burning but on the warmer it is outstanding. I live in two story house and it's everywhere.

because it has a deeper melt pool

Maybe because there is no flame to burn off the fragrance. Just a guess and also what Laura said. The melt pool is deeper.

How long does a candle on a burner last? Compared to one with a wick? Thanks

[Crafty1_AJ]

Yep! Bigger melt pool = bigger throw.

I think that warmed candles last longer than burned candles.

It's also the higher temperature direct heat from the burner that throws the scent better. You can't get that kind of heat from a wick.

It's the heat, Fern is absolutely correct.

Next time you burn the candle, take the temp of the melt pool, compare that with the temp of the melted candle on the warmer...you will find your answer.

Lisa, it depends on the scent sometimes. Cinnamons and those in that catagory seem to last forever. I have to get rid of them just because I am sick of it. But for the most part, they will last at least twice as long as burning a candle. My neighbor's son had one burning from mid December until February....non-stop...he never shut the thing off! Kids. :rolleyes2

I like my jar warmers too and melt jars on it. I also use mine for melting tarts too. I have a crock that sits on the warmer and put tart in crock.

I agree with both Fern's, the temp is the key! AND with the fact that it depends on the scent, the heavier the scent the longer (I've found that) it lasts.
