Different Types of Wax Melt Burners

Sometimes it can be difficult to choose the perfect wax melt burner either for your own home or as a gift for someone else. With so many options available, it can become overwhelming. You can choose from the traditional wax melt burner that requires a tea light candle or opt for the electric wax melt burner which does not involve any open flame.

 

In this blog post, we'll help you determine which type of wax melt burner, also known as a candle burner, might be the best fit for you based on the various styles and types available online. We'll also discuss the differences in safety between electric wax melt burners and tea light wax melt burners. And if you are new to the candle community then this will help start your journey.

 

Summary Of The Blog Post

  • There are two main types of candle burners. The traditional tea light wax melt burner and the electric wax melt burner. These burners can be made of ceramic or glass, although you may find some made of other materials.

  • Wax melt burners are a great alternative to traditional candles as they eliminate the need for an open flame. There are two types of wax melt burners - the electric burner which uses electricity to heat the wax and the tea light wax melt burner which conceals the flame in a tea light.

  • Why choose wax melts over candles? We also love candles and don't discourage them for a lovely, relaxing evening. However, wax melts can enhance the scent throw around the room, making your room and house smell amazing for a longer period and further distance. Why wax melts vs candles, we also love candles and don't discourage them for a lovely relaxing evening but wax melts can increase the throw of scent around the room making your room and house smell amazing for longer and further.

What are the types of Wax Melt Warmers?

We will begin with the traditional tea light wax melt burner. This is my favorite type of burner because it uses an open, concealed flame to heat the wax melt. Additionally, it can be a great way to create mood lighting. The candle burner has a ceramic body that hides the flame, making it less risky for children and pets to come in contact with it. However, we strongly recommend keeping it out of reach of children and pets, as the ceramic body can become warm.

 

If you want to enhance the ambiance of the room, you can use matching scented tea lights to spread fragrance around the house. You can experiment with different scents and try combining two of your favorites to create a unique aroma.

 

 

Electric candle burners?

If you are someone who loves the fragrance of wax melts but is concerned about the safety hazards that come with traditional tea light wax melt burners, then electric candle burners are a fantastic option for you! These burners do not require any open flames, making them a safer alternative. They are available in various styles, such as those that use an Edison bulb to heat the wax or others that use an induction surface. These options give you the flexibility to choose the style of heating that suits your preference and desired look. Plus, electric candle burners are easy to use and maintain, so you can enjoy your favorite fragrance without any worries!

 

Electric wax burners require electricity to operate and can consume anywhere from 12 to 25 watts, depending on the type of burner you choose. You might be wondering how much it would cost to use an electric wax burner. For instance, if you burn wax melts for around 12 hours, the cost would be approximately 10p using a higher-watt burner.

Why choose wax melts over candles?

 

Candles are a wonderful way to unwind and relax in the evening. Whether you prefer fruity, floral, or musky scents, you can find a wide variety of candles with beautiful jars that can enhance your experience. However, if you're looking for a different way to enjoy your favorite fragrance, wax melts are a great alternative. They not only offer the same scent options but also add something new to your collection. If you're into ceramic crafts, you'll find many talented artists creating unique wax melt burners in the form of houses or other odd shapes, which look fantastic on a shelf.

 

Wax melts are a wonderful way to infuse your home with beautiful scents without the need to burn candles. Unlike candles, wax melts are not burned, and instead use the heat of a warmer to release their fragrance. This means that they are much stronger and longer-lasting than traditional candles, as more scent is released into the air. As the wax slowly melts, it releases a continuous stream of fragrance, filling your home with a delightful aroma that lasts for hours. Whether you prefer sweet, floral, or spicy scents, wax melts are an excellent choice to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home.
