The fragrance, colourant and configuration of the candle have a major impact on the choice of the best wick. But be careful: if the wick is too large, it can cause the wax to run or burn too much. Conversely, if the wick is too thin, it may not melt the surface properly and create a tunnel around the flame. If the flame flickers or if the combustion does not seem regular, do not hesitate to test another type of wick.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCombustion test\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's important to check the wick.
