FAQs
Are these candles dripless?
No, these candles are designed specifically to bleed and drip wax to create their signature effect.
What are the dimensions of the candles?
Each candle is 25cm high, 2cm wide, and 2cm deep.
Can these be used outdoors?
They can be used outdoors, but only in calm conditions. Wind will cause uneven melting and excessive dripping.
Will the wax stain my tablecloth?
The red wax may leave a residue. We highly recommend using a protective tray or mat underneath the candles.
How many candles come in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 black taper candles.
Are these candles scented?
These candles are designed for visual aesthetics and are generally unscented.
Troubleshooting
Candle will not stand straight
Use a small amount of candle adhesive or melt a tiny bit of the base wax to 'glue' the candle into the holder.
Wax is dripping onto the table
Ensure a protective tray is placed under the candle; if wax spills on wood, wait for it to harden completely before gently scraping it off with a plastic edge.
The flame is flickering too much
Check the surrounding area for drafts from air vents, fans, or open windows and move the candles to a more sheltered location.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Vampire Tears Candles, ensure they are standing perfectly vertical in a stable candle holder to promote even burning. Because of the bleeding effect, it is essential to place a layer of aluminum foil, a protective mat, or a drip tray underneath the base before lighting. When storing, keep the candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration of the wax. To clean excess wax off non-porous holders, allow the wax to harden completely and gently peel it away, or use a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the wax for easy removal.
