Each wick burns for 10-12 hours.
No, one wick burns for 10-12 hours, so you can relight the wick until it runs out.
If you wish to refresh the candle's appearance, you can remove the set wax, break down the sides, and reinsert the wax upside down.

When inserting the wick into the candle sand, leave out a 0.5-1 cm end only. Leaving out more reduces the burn time of the wick, as the wick will burn down rapidly until it reaches the candle sand. Watch a video here.
For optimal performance, we recommend using a vessel with a width of at least 9 cm. This ensures that the melt pool doesn't reach the sides of the container.
While a fireproof vessel is preferred, you can also use other containers as long as they are wide enough to maintain a safe distance between the melt pool and the edge, preventing the container from heating up excessively. Leave at leas 5cm between the wick and the side of the vessel.
Yes. Simply add a few drops around the wick before lighting the candle.
Please keep in mind that using essential oils differs from using artificially scented candles. The scent will be more delicate and natural and best suited for small spaces.
