The Aottom 34oz candle is a high-volume unit featuring a decorative tinplate housing with structural ribbing to prevent warping under sustained heat. The three-wick configuration is specifically spaced to ensure a full melt pool across the 15.2 square-inch surface, which helps maximize the throw of the scent. While a 200-hour lifespan is possible in controlled environments, a functional range of 140 to 160 hours is more realistic for active outdoor use.
Specifications show the use of hydrogenated soy wax and cotton-core wicks, which are designed to reduce soot production compared to zinc-core versions. The high thermal mass of this larger unit helps keep the flame steady even in light winds. Because the tin base can reach high temperatures during the final stages of the burn, using a stone or ceramic coaster will help protect composite or plastic surfaces from heat damage.
Organizers note that the soy wax blend has a lower melting point; it is best to store this unit out of direct summer sunlight when not in use to prevent the essential oils from separating or "sweating" on the surface.
The tinplate lid is included to keep the wax clean between uses, though it is recommended to wait until the wax has cooled before sealing to prevent a vacuum from forming. The decorative finish makes it a visual addition to patio furniture while providing a significant protection zone for guests.
If you are looking for a more compact three-wick option for smaller tables, the 12oz three-pack offers similar performance in a smaller footprint.
