This is very important to prevent the candles from smoking on the next burn or from burning the sides of the glass. We recommend trimming them to 1/4th to 1/8th of an inch each time.

Why Invest in an Expensive Candle When I Have Cheaper Options?
We have always been taught to settle for quality over quantity when it’s about people or things, the same rule applies to candles. Most big box store candles are cheap because the are able to buy in bulk and use poor quality waxes and lead wicks that will end up making your space toxic.
Whereas as our candles might be a bit expensive but it’s definitely worth the price because we hand pour our candles made with a proprietary blend of soy and coconut wax with lead-free cotton wicks for a cleaner, longer burn.
How Many Scented Candles Should I Burn in My Room?

Once again, you shouldn't have this problem with our candles. However, when you don’t trim the wick before burning your candles, it may start producing soot. Always trim the wick ¼ inch before lighting fresh or previously burnt candles, If you want to burn your candles for more than 4 hours, you will need to extinguish the flame at intervals of 4 hours, let the candle cool, trim the wick and relight.

Why Does My Candle Tunnel When It Burns?
Tunneling in candles is very common, it is also known as a “melt ring”. It happens when a candle burns only from the center creating thick wax residue around the walls of the jar because the wax did not melt all the way across the edges. To prevent tunneling in any candle, let your candles burn for at least one hour per inch of the diameter and let the wax melt pool reach across the edges.
