Containers and vessels for all types of candles!
When a candle burns, it forms a circular burn pool in the wax. As the candle burns down, the burn pool goes deeper into the candle, so that the shape of the melted wax is a cylinder (like a soda can). Therefore, the easiest container to wick is one shaped like a cylinder (like our apothecary jars.)
Another tip having to do with wicking... In our extensive testing, we've found that wicking a jar over 3-1/2 inches is very difficult with a single wick, especially a candle made with soy wax and a lot of fragrance (our personal favorites!). We recommend 3 inches or less for easy wicking and less soot.
Not all containers can be used safely as candle containers. Many jars are not made to handle the heat created by a burning candle. All of the candle containers at CandleScience are ASTM certified.
