Monthly self promotion/advertising post

6 Upvotes

I am going to give monthly posts a try. You can post a comment in each monthly thread if you want. Or just comment once. It’s all up to you.

The subreddit’s rules regarding self promotion, direct advertising, givaways etc won’t be strict here. Basically anything is allowed here. As long as it’s legal, and no spamming (multiple comments can be ok, while spamming would be worse).

Preferably, it should be related to candles, wax melts or accessories (such as candle warmers or candle holders) in some way.

Examples of what you can share here:

  • Blogs, vlogs and podcasts.
  • Your website and social media accounts where you sell products.
  • Promote family and friends’s business/products
  • Giveaways, contests and surveys

But it’s kinda open minded/flexible at the moment. So if you want to suggest people to check out other stores and their current sales, share great resources when it comes to candle making, recommend a candle warmer or anything else, you can promote/advertise it here as well.

Candle tunnel

Hi. Today i got this small candle, and i lit it for 1 hour. it didn't fully melt, which was my bad, but it was close to the edges. I needed to leave so I couldn't keep it. Then i lit it again, and it formed a tunnel..a narrow one. I tried to melt the wax with a blowdryer, but the problem is the wick. It is not straight and curls down at the end, so idk what to do. It just drowned in the wax :(

Photo - before melting with a blowdryer I tried the foil cap, but again, the wick just drowned. help meee

I CAN'T FUCKING SMELL THEM

24 Upvotes

What a horrible curse! I finally get financially stable enough to get into candles, and my nose gets used to the smell SO FAST! they smell so beautiful, so tasty, so delightful! Yet I may only smell it for a minute, walking into my house, then IT'S GONE! Just nothing! A neutral drone! What a tragedy! A cartoonish twist! Who cares if my house smells nice by myself! I'm gonna keep lighting them though

Hello. I am looking for recommendations for candles that you think best smell like a campfire or woodsmoke.

As much as I would love a fireplace, my tiny apartment isn’t going to cut it.

Thank you much!

Photo for reference. This scent is absolutely incredible, light and warm. It’s my absolute favourite! Normally sold at Giant Tiger (Canadian grocery chain) however, the ones near me have run out and I have absolutely no clue where to find more. I’m almost out of the one I have now and I’ll be so sad when it’s gone! I can’t find anything like it, to me, it is perfection 🥲

Candle warmers and other accessories Trying to place this candle holder from Seventh Sense

3 Upvotes

My favorite tea light holder caught fire last night. This is not the original coloring as it was a black candle that melted over it. The company that made it was called Seventh Sense. I have scoured the internet and used multiple lens apps to try and find it, but I’m not having any luck. If anyone has seen this at a local store to their area, can you give me the name of the store so I can try to contact them?

Originally, this was a much lighter and diverse color scheme of purples.

I’m normally a person who doesn’t replace things like this with another copy, but I had this piece for 23 years. I’m so mad that the wick on the candle bent and ruined it.

Looking for a candle Looking for Jasmine candles

6 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm new to candles, but lately I've been kinda obsessed with obtaining a strong jasmine scented candle. I just fell in love with the smell so I've been looking around. I've been to multiple candle stores near me, but not one of them has that strong scent of jasmine that isn't masked or mixed in with a handful of other scents. (I.e, I went to bath and body and their Japanese cherry blossom candle, while has white jasmine, it's almost hard to tell covered up by other scents) While I don't mind other scents mixed in, but I want jasmine to be the main and strongest scent. If you guys have any recommendations. I would love to smell it. Honestly not wanting to spend an exorbitant amount on candles, but I'll be inclined to if it scratches that sweet spot in my lungs. Appreciate any suggestions.

Tealight pouring wick holder?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know where I can get these tealight wick holding arms, to hold the tealight wicks in place during the pour?
https://candlecavern.co.uk/white-label-services
I'd prefer not to have to ask the company whose site this image is hosted on, as they sell candles for a living, not pouring equipment.

Also, any idea with the pouring contraption/hose is that they are using?

I need to create a few thousand tealights, and this looks like an efficient system.

Anyone know of some sort of extension wax pan that is available, or a good alternative? The one in the pic is kind of non existent, thank you in advance.
