You may have noticed when burning your wax melts that there is a clear or white vapour being emitted from the wax.
Do not panic! This is normal and is just the scent being thrown. In other words, the heat from the tealight is releasing the fragrance into the air and around your room. Our products are highly fragranced with some of the stronger fragrances having the ability to emit more vapour than others. Don’t be alarmed. This will not harm you, the wax melt or your burner.
Smoking can also indicate when the scent has totally evaporated because the weaker the scent becomes, the clearer the smoke will appear. However, everything is fine if your wax melt is still smelling strong and you can’t see any vapour.
Another sight that may cause alarm is if your wax melt starts bubbling. This is usually caused by one of two main reasons.
A key cause of wax melt bubbles is failure to dry the wax dish properly after washing. Always ensure the dish where the wax sits is dry before use as bubbling can cause the scent to be thrown quicker and thereby reduce it’s longevity. And nobody wants that!
Bubbling can also be caused if the wax melt is too hot due to being melted for too long or the tealight being too close to the wax dish. It’s important to make sure you use the correct size tealight’s. We recommend using 2 or 4 hour tealights depending on the size of the burner as anything more can heat the burner too quickly causing erratic bubbling or dark smoke.
If you are concerned that the smoke or bubbling is unusual, please discontinue use and contact our customer service team at avamayfair.com where we will be happy to advise you.
