BURNING CANDLE WICK

The wick is the primary function of your expensive candle; all else just reacts to the burning candle wick. It liquefies the wax and drives the liquid wax up to be burned. Its function doesn't stop there, it also melts the top of your candle so it burns evenly, and only when the entire surface is melted, does the candle provide full aroma. This means when you burn your expensive candle, you should let it burn for hours (some suggest a minimum of three hours).
CANDLES WICK POSITION

Geometry is a major factor in expensive candle care. The wick is carefully centered in expensive candles (candles wick position), that it melts the top of the candle evenly. Think of your candle as being on an x/y axis. One, the y axis length of wick is important. Therefore, trim the wick upon initial burning (but rarely after) cut the wick to be at least quarter inch from the wax. This will keep the flame close enough to melt across to the edge of the candle.
On the x axis, every care needs to be taken to keep the wick centered. Simple factors such as a draft or extinguishing the flame can move it off center, thereby making burning/melting uneven. Do not blow out your expensive candle! Use a snuffer to extinguish the candle.
The wick is designed to produce a small black socket on the cover of the wick when the wick is burned. This is normal to aid in distributing the heat downward and evenly to radiate heat to from center to the edges of your expensive candle. After the initial burning do your best not to disturb nor cut the burnt wick. Again, a snuffer will do its best to keep a quality socket (a quality candles wick position) for your expensive candle.

Three Expensive Candle Tips
Snip - snip the wick to 1/4" upon initial lighting (keeps burning even)
Snuff - use a candle snuffer to extinguish the candle (blowing out the candle will move the wick)
Hug - After extinguishing the candle and it is warm, mold the candle back to original shape (if needed)
CANDLE BURN TIMES SUGGESTIONS
candle burn times suggestions
Make sure to burn your expensive candle for the appropriate time. If you burn a candle for a shorter period than the candle burn times suggestions, it will burn down the middle and you will have excess wax on the sides.
Pillar candles should be burned for a minimum of 3 hours per lighting. Burn time for a pillar varies by size, but it should burn about one inch for every 14 hours.
Three Wick candles should be burned minimum of 6 hour per lighting. If you burn for less time, the candle will develop three holes where the wicks are located. Three Wick candle should last for 400 hours with proper care. Remember to burn for at least 6 hours and do not trim the wicks.
Tea Lights should last four to six hours.
Votives should last eight to twelve hours
Dinner candles should burn one inch for every 45 minutes. To ensure that the candles do not drip, make sure the candle is not located underneath a draft. Also, dinner candles should be unscented so the aroma does not interfere with the taste of the food being served.
