Benefit of Lids on Container Candles? Thread starter makemineirish Start date Jul 4, Joined Apr 25, Messages Reaction score I got frustrated when my favorite candle company discontinued the xl jar candles that I had been purchasing and intend to make my own.
I have done my research on the myriad of options regarding wax, wicks, etc. However, I am still a bit torn on the containers that I want to use. My dilemma rests with whether or not a container candle benefits from having a lid. Does anybody have any insight to share? As always, thanks in advance for any help. KristaY Supporting Member. So when you added the Elements FO to the wax at it started to smoke?
Maybe what you saw was steam? I know that others will disagree about the need to add FOs at higher temps.
But re: this thing of using more than 1 oz p. I don't know if this temperature in the linked works for the heavier oils or not. I think I had no HT on my first candles from not stirring strongly enough for two full minutes with my whisk.

I'm so lost. The got such good reviews and I'm just wondering what I could be doing wrong.
BTW you can get lids for those jars. Edited May 13, by Candybee. HorseScentS Posted May 13, Pam W Posted May 13, When you blow out a candle, the smoldering wick gives off smoke, which muddies the fragrance that your candle gave off during its burn time. Using the lid to put out the flame also stops the candle wax from getting dirty from debris being caught in it.
When you blow out your candle, the force of your breath is enough to cause debris to fall into the wax. This can eventually impair the burn your candle gives off because the wick can become clogged.
There are other things you can do to care for your candle that, along with the candle care stemming from the lid, help prolong the lifespan of your candle. One thing that is essential with candle care is trimming the wick. This also helps make sure your wick gives off a healthy burn. When you burn your candle, make sure you allow it to produce a complete melt pool before extinguishing it. This means that you want to wait until the top of your candle is completely covered in liquid wax.
Another tip is to burn your candle away from any flammable object or surface. Extinguishing the flame is another part of candle care. This bell shaped tool does essentially the same thing as the lid.
It prevents any air from getting to the flame and it ends up suffocating and dying out. One of the big differences is that the hot throw uses up the wax and fragrance while the cold throw only uses up the fragrance. The lid to your candle has more purpose to it than just being a fragrance protector, though.
Just place the lid on the candle and the lack of oxygen will suffocate the flame and effectively put it out. The flame can melt the rubber molding and damage your candle. As long as you have a safe lid to use to extinguish your candle, this method is a great way to safely put out a candle.
There are many different ways for you to extinguish your candle, but there are a few that stand out as the safest and easiest ways to do so. Many retailers sell candle tool kits that come with a few different items in them. One of these tools is a called a snuffer. This is a bell shaped tool that is attached to a long skinny handle. To use this, all you have to do is place the bell shaped part over the flame. Another tool in this kit is that wick dipper.
This tool looks like a long metal stick that gets thinner as it gets to the top where it then curves.
