Troubleshooting
Incense stick won't stay lit
Ensure the tip is fully ignited until it glows. If using an older stick, it might be drier and light more easily. Try relighting.
Smoke is too strong or irritating
Ensure the area is adequately ventilated. Consider burning for a shorter duration or using half a stick.
Ash is falling outside the holder
Use a wider or deeper incense holder. Ensure the stick is positioned securely within the holder.
Sandalwood scent is not noticeable
Check that the stick is properly lit and smoldering. Ensure the room is not too large or excessively ventilated, which can dissipate the scent quickly.
