I finally burned Mars last night from the pure bundle and I had the exact same issue some of you have been reporting.
Started burning just fine but with a low flame, the wax started to drown the wick so I poured some of the wax off. As soon as I did that, the flame grew higher for about 30 seconds then just went out. No wax drowning it, it just went out. Relit it 3X and each time it got big then just faded out.
Finally I got a spoon and scooped out more wax, which included all the.... “topping stuff” to where I’d scooped out about 1/4 of the candle.
I put that extra into a container to save and relit. Once I did that, the flame stayed lit with no issues. The flame was around a medium flame all night and when I woke up this morning the flame was huge and dancing.
I snuffed it out and there is about half the candle left now, and the extra I scooped out. I’m thinking maybe the particular herbs/“topping” stuff she puts in might be what’s causing the issue? Thoughts?
It's that wick! I've been occasionally pouring wax to expose the good wick so it can burn before it goes out and the wick makes a popping noise it constantly pops.
I have to go back and look and see about mine
I added the wood from a match to enhance the wick to keep the flame going. Then when some of the wax melted, I poured it into a candle holder with a wick burnt it with the Mars candle until it was complete.
Me too mine would not stay lit!!
I had the same issue. I had to tilt my candle to get it to stay lit in beginning. It would go out as you described. Finally added a matchstick on each side of wick and it had been burning fine for over six hours now. My Ahari candle is lit beneath it and burned high the entire time, even as I struggled with Mars. But I’m still confident in the work.
This is what my candle looks like now since I scooped the top part out. It burned perfectly this way.
I had a problem with ahari and domination did the same thing.
I had a problem with ahari and domination did the same thing.
I burned my Mars candle last week with no issues at all.
Mine did the same thing. I had to melt, scoop it out, put in a different bottle with a better wick and still won’t stay lit. I poured out some of the wax and still nothing so I have given up. Something is not right with this set of mars candles this time. I thought I was the only one that why I didn’t say anything but now I know I’m not the only one. 🤷🏻♀️
I just ordered mines last Friday with the other candles now I am getting to think that I might have the same problem after I lit MARS candle 🤦🏽♀️
It sounds like a defective wick
