FAQs
What is the approximate burn time for each candle?
Each candle has an approximate burn time of 2 hours.
Are these candles scented?
No, these are unscented taper candles.
What makes the 'vampire tears' effect happen?
The candles are designed so that as they burn, the colored wax melts and drips down the sides, creating a striking 'tears' or 'bleeding' visual effect.
Can I use these candles outdoors?
It is not recommended to use these candles outdoors, as wind and weather can disrupt the burning and dripping effect, and pose a safety risk.
What type of candle holder should I use?
Standard taper candle holders are suitable. Ensure the holder is stable and placed on a heat-resistant surface to catch any dripping wax.
How should I clean up the wax drips?
Allow the wax to harden completely. Once hardened, it can typically be scraped off most surfaces. For stubborn residue, gently warm the wax with a hairdryer on a low setting and wipe away with a soft cloth. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these suitable for a regular dinner setting?
While they can be used, their dramatic effect is best suited for themed or special occasions. For everyday use, consider their short burn time and the potential for wax drips.
Troubleshooting
Candle is not dripping wax as expected.
Ensure the candle is burning long enough for the wax to melt sufficiently. Check for drafts, which can cause uneven melting or extinguish the flame prematurely. If the wick is too short, it may not generate enough heat for adequate melting.
Uneven dripping or wax pooling too quickly.
Slightly adjust the position of the candle holder to minimize drafts. If the candle is burning too hot due to a very strong draft, try moving it to a more sheltered location.
Wax is dripping onto unintended surfaces.
Ensure the candle is placed in a secure holder and that the holder is on a protective surface or tray. Verify the candle is not placed near any edge where it could easily fall or drip off.
The candle burns out too quickly.
The approximate burn time is 2 hours. For longer-lasting ambiance, consider lighting multiple candles or using them for shorter, impactful periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
Compatible with most standard taper candle holders.
Best used in environments where the dripping wax effect is desired and can be managed.
Care:
Before Lighting: Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) for a cleaner burn.
During Burning: Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax pool to reach the edge of the candle on the first use (if practical) to help prevent tunneling. However, focus on enjoying the dripping effect.
After Burning: Allow the candle and wax to cool completely before handling or disposing of the wax.
Surface Protection: Always use a drip-catching candle holder or a protective tray underneath the candle to catch melting wax and prevent damage to furniture or surfaces.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting or discoloration.
