So my first theory with Mars candle is that perhaps the combination of wax, scent and wick are not letting the wick to stay on for long unlike other candles. But Ms Lala cannot change the recipe because it'll compromise the protection. Second theory is clear your blockages first, I did Papa Legba and then Mars. It took 2 tries, after Papa, Mars flame was high and crazy.....but....it only lasted 4 hours for me. After I waited another week I light Mars again, the flame was low but steady and stayed around 7 hours and then I snuffed it.I don't know what to make of that, perhaps make sure that when you light it it's not near anywhere near windy area. If it still doesn't work, try Papa first and then do Mars again.

Not saying this is the issue but it's one explanation...
