Quick answer
To safely extend the burn time of your Douglas Fir Vetiver Candle, trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use, burn until the wax pool reaches the edges, and avoid drafts.
Why burn time matters for your Douglas Fir Vetiver Candle
The Douglas Fir Vetiver Candle uses a blend of essential oils including Vetiver, Douglas Fir, Angelica Root, and Basil. Proper burn habits preserve the scent throw and prevent tunneling, which wastes wax and shortens the candle's life.
How to extend burn time safely
- Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn: Use a wick trimmer or scissors to cut the wick to 1/4 inch. A longer wick creates a taller flame, which burns wax faster and can produce soot. Always trim before lighting, even on the first burn.
- Burn until the wax pool reaches the jar edge: Let the candle burn long enough for the entire top layer of wax to melt to the sides. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn each time. For the Douglas Fir Vetiver Candle, this typically takes 2–3 hours. Do not burn longer than 4 hours at a time.
- Keep away from drafts and heat sources: Place the candle on a stable surface away from windows, fans, vents, or direct sunlight. Drafts cause uneven burning and faster wax consumption. A draft-free spot also helps the flame stay steady and reduces soot buildup.
