Candle Crock 101 Revisited!

After promising this video for a while I am finally revising my original Candle Crock 101 video. I will be sharing all the ins and outs of using a candle crock and a hot plate warmer to deal with candles that are not behaving (sooting, puny wicks, unfragranced when burning, etc...). I hope this video was helpful! Please subscribe if you are new.
*Again friends, DO NOT EVER relight a candle you have already warmed in a candle crock or hot plate warmer!

    I bought one because of you. I now have 3 and I use all of my bbw candles in them. I get a solid week of scent from most of them. I rarely burn a candle now and my walls and furnace air filter thanks me.

    I bought the same one. Cause of you and for mostly bbw candles. Very productive purchase. Now I hv a shelf of candles just for the crock. I’ve heard you mention it for years. I thought this would be an expensive purchase.. To my surprise they were less than $25. I paid around $13 on sale. So well worth it.

    I'm so happy I snagged one of the teal ones up on black friday! I agree lighting these after melting would be a terrible idea. Not only the wick moving issue but I also think that the integrity of the glass would be compromised because your heating the whole glass up so intensely for a period of time.

    I was gifted a candle crock. Last month I was burning BBW Twisted Peppermint and on the 3rd burn my son said it smelled like ethanol. So I put it in the candle crock, and no more gasoline smell. Crocks are great for all the reasons you mentioned.

    Hey, I love the medallion one you've recommended! Unsurprised tho, as Candle Warmers. Etc. is my fav warmer brand. I did have 2 of the marbled black ones from Elanze Designs on Amazon for about 8 months. I went to turn on the upstairs one, one day it it literally just blew up. So I tossed that one and the other one away. Just fyi. It also gets hotter to the touch than the Candle Warmers one.

    Hey Melanie! Love your videos. So excited to see this video. I bought my candle crocks based on your original candle crock video. When my candle no longer has any scent, I pour out the melted wax into the trash (I've never had an issue with it melting the bags b/c I use pretty thick bags), wipe it out and presto! Clean jar that I can reuse! I sometimes pop the empty jar into the dishwasher if I feel like it needs just a little more cleaning.

    Personally I don't care for the lamp style because they only melt a "section" at a time (the part directly under the bulb. Then you have to pour out the wax so get to the next "section" of wax that has fragrance oils in it. The crock heats EVERYTHING at once and I essentially "set it and forget it" lol.
