thank you for the review, I was checking on that because I can not fix the tunnelling on 1 of my favorite candle, and do not want to throw it away. however, the top candle warmer is so much more expensive, about like 2 times or more than the bottom warmer ( I was lookinf for the coffee warmer)
Yes the top warmers are more pricey compared to the bottom ones. I used to absorb some of the wax with a cotton ball before and that didn't always work for tunneling.
Thank you for the review! Quick question though, why do you need to throw out the melted portion? And does the top down candle warmer make the candle lose its scent after a while?
Thanks for watching! & with any warmer the candle will eventually lose its scent. For the top candle warmers, the wax at the top will lose its scent after being warmed a couple of times because the fragrance oils are being heated so you pour some wax out to smell the unheated portion more. For bottom plate warmers, you are heating the entire candle so you don't need to pour out any wax but it takes longer to smell.
Thank you! I like top warmers a bit more since it takes less time to give off scent but they cost a bit more. I bought mine on Amazon ( it's the Hestia brand) because there was a discount so I chose that one but there are several brand/styles there!
I think you could test it with an unburnt one and the smell will be slightly better since mine started to soot at this point. It would take a very long time for a brand new candle to give off scent from warming with a bottom plate warmer though.
