FAQs
How accurate are these burn time estimates?
Estimates are based on standard burn rates but actual times vary with room temperature, air flow, and burning habits. Use as a general guide.
Why does wax type matter for burn time?
Different waxes have different burn rates. Soy burns slower than paraffin, while coconut wax burns faster.
How does container size affect burn time?
Larger diameter containers create bigger melt pools, which burn wax faster. The calculator adjusts for this.
What if I have multiple wicks?
Multiple wicks burn wax faster since there are more flames. Enter the total number of wicks for accurate estimates.
