Just a tip: A shorter wick will also reduce the amount of smoke and soot that the candle produces.
Candles should be placed in an area where they are not exposed to drafts, such as near windows, fans, or air conditioning vents. Drafts can cause the candle to burn unevenly and may also cause the flame to flicker and potentially go out.
It's important to burn your candle for the appropriate amount of time each time you light it.
For example, if you have a small candle, you should only burn it for about an hour or two at a time, while larger candles can be burned for up to four hours at a time.
