Wood Wick Candles

[gingerinarkansas]

I was in our local hospital gift shop today and they had some of the candles with wooden wicks. They had pretty good smell to them but lots of wet spots....I mean lots of wet spots. I think on the bottom the label said something about Virginia but really didn't pay attention. I think they were $17.00+ but of course that was hospital gift shop and nothing was cheap. If I go back, I'll pay more attention to name of company. Ginger

At first the WW candles burn amazing. But since they have a wood wick when it burns down further you get the black stream burning off the candle. I am not very candle savvy right now. They do smell amazing. I only burn them when I am taking a bath. But the further you burn them down the more problems you seem to have. I have heard a lot of complaints from people about these too.

I was on vacation this past week and one gift shop was selling the WW Old Virginia candles. They had one burning on the counter. I got up close to it to see if I could hear the crackling fire it says it made. It did make a slight crackling noise and smelled awesome. I was impressed, but I did notice the wet spots on almost all of them. I also have noticed when I go into gift shops that have paraffin candle burning and put something around the inside of the jar. Not sure what it is it but it makes the soot not stick to the jar, does anyone know what it could be? I was thinking it might be vaseline or pam or something because it is glossy around the inside of the jar. And no soot.
