$30 for a "reinvented" candle where the gimmick only lasts 2 hours out of its 32 hour lifespan. This feels like an idea that either stopped early or went on for way too long.
-
Feels like a candle designed by people sitting around a table asking "How can we charge more for the less in this market?"
-
as someone who makes candles, the tunnelling is caused by the wick. It's the wrong size wick for that candle lol
-
The Prolapse Candle. 😂😂😂
-
I'm glad to see that it can't be depended upon for light when the electricity shuts off. I prefer a $5 Glade in a little glass. Safer, smells good, recyclable and doesn't break the bank. Thanks for the demo. Love your videos.
-
Not me watching a video about a product I have zero interest in just cause freakin reviews are always solid anyway! Lmao
-
I usually just melt the left over with replacement wicks I have on hand for that purpose.
-
The wooden wick makes me think it's more of a incense/scented candle than a light the room candle. Hope the scent is long lasting or strong. And I don't think tunneling is a bad thing with that product, since you don't have it in a jar or bowl to prevent the wax from spilling out otherwise.
-
You probably want the candle to “tunnel”, otherwise you’d have wax flowing all over. Wood wicks are supposed to make a pleasant cracking noise, similar to a campfire. You didn’t mention that, but the wick might not have made the noise.
-
I liked the time lapse of the candle burning down. I agree that it's too spendy for a 2-hour gimmick and then a regular candle for the scent only, not the flickering light type of candle.
-
That is a ton of left over wax there, I know you can keep it from tunneling with a regular wick, but a square wooden one and naturally with the sides already raised, there really is no way.
-
The dim light from this candle concerns me. It seems like it would be easily missed on the way out the door, which makes it more of a fire risk than your typical candle that burns a lot brighter.
-
One issue I can see right away, the way it burns could be considered dangerous. I know most people have common sense, but could cause issues if you have it a bit close to a wall.
-
Some tunneling is necessary since it has no glass shell to hold the wax. If it all melted, it would run out like lava from a volcano, and wouldn't last 30 hours. Not a fan of the burn. Maybe if it was a three wick design inside it would burn more brightly and be more efficient, but a candle is always a tradeoff. If they do free shipping, that would help a lot!
-
I look forward to getting one from the dollar store soon, lol. Thanks James ❤
-
As a beekeeper who makes candles, I can say that trying to reinvent them is like reinventing the wheel. They've been around for thousands of years, unchanged, for a reason. I personally grow lavender flowers that I then turn to oil and use to make candles.
-
A $30 candle? I'm already out.
-
I get better results from $7 candles from the grocery store. Plus they have a glass container so I can melt the extra wax down to prevent the minor amount of tunneling that does happen. I'm usually only left with 1/8 in of wax when the wick dies! I think it looks cool, but definitely a no-go!
-
You may have needed to trim down the wood wick before the first time you lit it. I trim my regular wicks to 1/4 inch each time I light them.
-
If you’ve no experience with a wood wick…check out Woodwick candles. Also expensive, but I like them. Great scents AND an awesome sound…like a fireplace.
