About this candle
Overview
Extinguish candle flames safely and elegantly with this premium stainless steel wick snuffer from APOTHEKE. The hinged design and extended handle make it effortless to reach any flame—whether you're tending to a delicate taper, tall pillar candle, or large multi-wick scented jar.
Why Use a Wick Snuffer
- Minimizes excess smoke compared to blowing out flames
- Safely extinguishes flames on any candle type
- Gentle on wicks and prevents hot wax splatter
- 6.5-inch handle keeps hands at a safe distance
- Swiveling hinged snuffer head adapts to any wick angle
- Elegant gold finish complements modern and classic home décor
How to Use Your Wick Snuffer
Carefully position the snuffer over the flame and hold until the fire extinguishes. A small wisp of smoke signals the flame is out. To avoid wax splashing, hover just above the melted wax surface rather than plunging the tool into the pool. Wipe the snuffer with a soft, dry cloth after use to maintain its lustrous finish.

Candle care
Four habits that decide how long it lasts-
Trim the wick
About 5 mm before every burn. A long wick makes a tall flame, and a tall flame smokes the glass.
-
Let the first burn finish
Two to three hours, until the melted wax reaches the edge. Wax remembers its first pool — cut it short and it tunnels for good.
-
Stop at four hours
Longer and the glass gets hot and the scent flattens. Retire the candle when about 1 cm of wax is left.
-
Keep the jar
Hot soapy water lifts the last of the wax — soy softens at a much lower temperature than paraffin. Then it is a pot, a tumbler, a planter.
- Trim the wick to about 5 mm before every burn.
- First burn: let the pool reach the edge, roughly two to three hours.
- Never burn for more than four hours at a stretch, and stop at 1 cm of wax.
- Keep it in sight, on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, children and pets.
