The dipper extinguishes your candle by aiding you to push the wick into the pool of hot wax. It enables your candle to have a longer and healthier life with little maintenance by lifting and centering the wick. Without this useful tool, your wick could get lost inside the molten wax and ruin a perfect candle. This method of “snuffing” eliminates wick smoldering and smoking, keeping the room free of smoky residue. After all, the scent of your candle should linger, not the smell of smoke residue.
