Why is my candle smoking so much?
Smoke is created when the flame of the candle is unable to properly burn all the fuel (in the form of vaporized wax) efficiently due to a lack of oxygen. Because the wick is drawing oil from the candle wax, a buildup of oils can occur within the wick when the flame fails to burn as much oil as it’s taking in.
What does Black smoke mean?

Why is my candle sparking?
What happens when you light a candle for too long is you’ve let your wick “mushroom” or develop carbon buildup. This is the result of the candle consuming more wax than it can burn. Lighting a “mushroom” can lead a wick to crackle and pop and release soot into the air and onto your candle container.
How long should you let a candle burn the first time?

Is it OK to light a dusty candle?
