Refill Candle

Maybe you've swapped out your regular drinkware for our bespoke vessels, but now you're dealing with a cluttered cupboard. And let's face it, concerns about generating more waste, especially from the containers, are valid.

Enter our accidental stroke of genius – sustainable refill candles that fit snugly into your favorite glass or ceramic vessel. They don't burn independently like pillars; instead, they collapse after a few hours, filling your chosen vessel with liquid wax and burning like a regular container candle for up to 25 hours.

Mosey on down to our directions to see what vessels work best for refills. 

1. Container Specifications: Ensure you use a suitable container to burn this candle. The container should be approximately 2.75 inches in width and 3 inches in height.

2. Candle Size and Container Volume: This candle is approximately 6.5 oz. Ensure that your chosen container has a volume greater than 7 oz.

3. Preferred Containers: Recommended containers include straight-sided glassware, mason jars, cocktail glassware, Light Provisions glassware, or ceramic mugs. These types provide optimal performance.

4. Unsuitable Containers: Do not use bowls or plates for burning Refill candles. Refill candles are designed to collapse into a vessel with walls (such as our glassware).

5. Securing the Candle: If the container’s bottom surface is uneven, causing the candle to tilt, you may soften the bottom of the candle with a brief exposure to a flame to help it adhere to the base. Alternatively, our wax-based Stickum can be used for extra stability.

6. Wick Tabs: Do not remove the metal wick tabs at the bottom of the candle; they are crucial for keeping the wick upright and centered. If you notice the wick tab shifting as the candle burns down, and are concerned about the flame proximity to the glass, Stickum can be applied to secure the wick in place.

7. Burning Maintenance: The wick may develop a 'mushroom' shape after burning, which is normal. Always trim off the mushroomed part before relighting to ensure a cleaner burn. Keep the wick trimmed to about 0.5 inches, which is slightly larger than our standard 0.25 inch recommendation.

8. Clean Out & Reuse: Once done, clean out your vessel by sticking it in the freezer for an hour and popping out frozen wax with a butter knife. Rinse with warm soapy water.
