What are “wickless candles” or “warmers”?
“Warmers,” as seen on our website are sometimes referred to as “wickless candles.” These are flatter 8oz jars that contain the same wax, coloring, and scent capacity of regular candles but do not have a wick. They are for the elctric warmer plates you might find in stores like Wal-mart or Hobby Lobby. I do often keep the electric plates on hand, so if you need one of these, please let us know; they are typically $5 (cost to us). The Warmers are melted with the electric plate, typically over an hour’s time, and the scent is released as the wax melts. It has the same effect as a candle, except that there is no flame, they last a bit longer (because there is no flame to burn away the wax), and they do not typically get as hot (again, because there is no flame). I really cannot give an estimate on how long they will last – it all depends on, obviously, how long you leave the warmer on (if you leave it go overnight, for example, it will still be working but chances are no one will be nearby
