What are the dimensions of the candle?
As this is a giant candle, it is significantly larger than standard candles, designed for substantial spaces. Specific dimensions are not provided but its 1500g weight indicates its large size.
How should I care for the candle to maximize its lifespan?
Always trim the wicks to 1/4 inch before burning, allow a full melt pool on the first burn, and protect it from drafts to ensure an even and long-lasting burn.
Troubleshooting
Uneven burning (tunneling)
Ensure the candle burns long enough on the first use for the wax pool to reach the edges. Trim wicks to an even length before each subsequent burn.
Excessive smoke or flickering flame
Trim the wicks to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm). If smoke persists, extinguish the flame, let the wax cool, and trim the wicks again. Ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area.
Weak scent diffusion
Ensure all five wicks are lit. Check that the room is not excessively large or drafty. Ensure the candle has been burned to create a full melt pool.
Wax pool solidifies quickly
This is normal as the wax cools. For optimal scent throw, ensure the candle is allowed to burn for at least 2-3 hours continuously to create a full melt pool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts and flammable materials.
Ensure the candle is on a level surface to promote even burning.
Care:
First Burn: Allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire surface to melt to the edges to prevent tunneling. This may take 2-4 hours.
Wick Trimming: Before each use, trim the wicks to approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm). This helps prevent excessive smoking and ensures a cleaner burn.
Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wicks into the melted wax pool using a wick dipper, then straighten them. Avoid blowing out the flame, which can cause smoke and wax splatter.
Cleaning the Vessel: Once the candle is finished, the handcrafted earthenware pot can be cleaned and repurposed. Use warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Storage: Store the candle in a cool, dark place when not in use to preserve the fragrance.
