The Yming 12-pack offers a set of 4.4oz soy wax candles, each housed in decorative tin-plate steel containers with a floral print. The 100% soy wax provides a lower melting point of approximately 50°C, which helps create a cleaner burn with less soot than petroleum-based waxes. With a 7% citronella oil concentration, these candles are designed for perimeter defense, and placing them every 4 to 6 feet around a patio is the most effective way to use the set.
Practical reality indicates that the aggregate "360-hour" claim represents 30 hours per candle. To maintain this burn rate, it is better to use a wick snuffer rather than blowing the candles out, which can cause the wicks to become "drowned" in liquid wax. The thin cotton wicks lack the rigidity needed for high-wind coastal environments, so they are best used in relatively sheltered areas. Once the candles are finished, the high-definition printed tins are easily cleaned and repurposed for small household items.
The use of tin-plate steel ensures that the containers won't leak wax even when it reaches a full liquid phase. Because citronella oil contains volatile compounds, it is important to keep the lids tightly sealed between uses to prevent the fragrance from degrading over time.
If you prefer a single candle with a unique audio feature, the Coleman crackle wood wick candles offer a different sensory experience.
This 12-pack is a versatile choice for distributing light and scent across a large deck area alongside citronella scented outdoor torches.
