What Happens when you cut your wick too short

What happens when you cut a wick to short!

1. Weak Flame: A short wick may not produce enough heat to melt the wax properly, leading to a weak flame that can struggle to stay lit.

2. Tunneling: The candle might burn unevenly, creating a tunnel down the center while leaving wax around the edges. This wastes wax and shortens the candles lifespan.

3. Soot Production: A short wick can lead to incomplete combustion, which produces more soot and smoke, potentially casing black marks on the candle container.

4. Fragrance Throw: If the flame is too small, it may not release the scent effectively, resulting in a weaker fragrance experience.

   
   

   So, its best to trim the wick to about 1/4 inch for optimal burning.
