But first, what is the wax pool?

Well, wax pool is the melted wax result from the burning candle. The longer you burn your candle the larger the wax pool in you candle will get. Simple right?

How to create the wax pool and why is so important?

One of the best thing to do and that should be write on all candle boxes is that when you light your candle for the first time you have to make sure that the wax pool form as close to the edges of the container as possible. This is foundamental to prevent the tunneling! Ninfe Home candle suggest to burn at least for two hour each time.

What is the tunneling?

Tunnely is pretty much what the cryptonite is for Clark Kent.

What you need to know is that candles have a memory, if the fist time you light your candle the wax pool hasn't former properyly without reaching the edges they will keep to burn in the same way. See this picture :

See the little tunnel around the wick? Well, next time you decide the light that candle it will keep to melt only inside that circle. No matter how long you going to burn. That's the best way to wast your money!
