How did it work when you guys lit the wax? I was expecting a wick like all others, but I see there isn't one. Thanks!

You'll have to hold it near a small flame to warm the wax. It's a two-handed operation with a lighter, but it works well enough.

What's the problem? If it doesn't melt the wax, you need to turn the dial to right, and probably you should keep the cover on. If that doesn't work, are you sure the unit is getting power? Apart from that, I suppose the unit is defective - mine works fine.

I don't know the type of wick. If I have trouble lighting it, I turn the lamp upside down to saturate the wick first. Hope that helps!

hold the lighter to the wick for a short time. there is no flame nor is there a red glow. it will start warming up fairly quickly. if it doesn't, make sure you filled it enough and then hold a lighter under the wick longer. Also put the top back on so you can feel if it is heating up.

Make sure the wick is cut an inch longer than neccesary. I dip the wick into hot beeswax and let it dry. That way the wick is stiff and easier to deal with. Then, wrap one end around a skewer or pencil and lay the pencil on top of the jar. It holds the wick in the center of the jar. Then if you pour a little of the beeswax mix in the jar and let it cool you will have a base! Hopefully that wasn't too confusing. I Learned this from ''Diy natural's'' website and it worked well for me!

Did you pour the wax into the little bucket that it comes with? It won't warm up if the wax is in the original can. You have to warm it & dump it in.

Yes, it comes with a wick, an extra wick, and a funnel to help to fill it. As with all lanterns of this type, to light just raise the glass globe with a lever and light with a match. To extinguish, lower the wick as far as possible, raise the globe, and blow out. Having said that, this lantern is junk. It's poorly made in China out of the cheapest materials available. At the price charged, its a rip-off. I've seen as good in dollar stores. If you want it for use in a flower arrangement it would probably be OK, but if you want to use it as intended I would recommend that you look elsewhere. Hope this helps.

i believe that Wax Trap 2 is the one now available, it is supposed to be an improvement. It does work, even tho it seems a little strange. Hope this helps. Pam G.

If the wax is really thick then it needs more time. I find when I start to melt the wax, I turn the wax warmer onto high and then lower it when ready to use. Make sure you blow on the wax and that it is not too hot. I hope this helps.

I did. I was just not as "forceful" with it. I just went over the burner lightly, removing as much of the gunk as I could. It didn't seem to affect it at all. Of course, I did end up getting the "sparker" wet, but once it dried (I just sparked it a few times) it lit right up. Haven't had any issues with any of it at all.

I use a hemp wick ik they were designed for bees wax but I absalutly love them very low smoke almost none but with anything other than bees wax you'll get smoke sets well rigid enough without being obnoxious

Sterno doesn't use a wick. The fluid burns directly from inside the can. The shape and size of the opening dictates the flame size.

It comes with a wick, you can light it with a match or lighter and you just blow it out like a candle. It is a very nice oil lamp

Yes. That's exactly what I did. I like Epillys wax & I just heated it up & poured it in. I really like it. The wax never gets too hot either.

Hi. I used a drink can tab and tied the wick around the tab and hot glued to bottom of container. The only problem I had was when I pored the wax the tab came loose. So the next time I let the wax cool a bit more and it stayed better. But im not sure how it will hold up when you burn the candle.

I just put the wax directly in the machine. I've read that others use a container, but didn't use/need one.

Thanks. How do u like it so far. It seems rather expensive if u have to replace a wick every couple of weeks. Would you recommend this humidifie? And thank you for the information.
