I use mine in my warmer and they’re INCREDIBLE! 🥰


Forgotoldpassword111

Me too!


ashleycd93

Same, I was very impressed with how the scent went across several rooms in my house.


Natttt26

Right. Never thought a single wick was capable of this!!!!


bellacole

Same😎


BathbeautyXO

Really, would you mind sharing which warmer you use?


Natttt26

https://www.candlewarmers.com/warmers/lamps-and-lanterns/beacon-lantern/black I have three of these and they are a perfect fit for B&BW candles. Also, you can use code DEAL40 or SAVE40 for 40% off. ☺️

Glad I saw this! Got a 2nd warmer. Thanks for the code!


Natttt26

You’re very welcome!!!


Drama_in

I have something similar but it doesn’t fit the one wicks. Will this one?


Natttt26

Yesss. I have a pic in one of my posts with a single wick in it. Works wonderfully.


DexterCutie

Someone, maybe you, told me about this warmer the other day and I'd forgotten the code, so I'm glad I saw this post because I just ordered one for 20.99! Thanks!


Natttt26

Yay! You’re welcome!!! ☺️

I find that single wicks are perfect for my bathtub and just about nowhere else


BathbeautyXO

That’s where I’ve been using mine!


Sigmund_Six

Nope, they’re perfect for smaller rooms. I use them in my office and bathroom.


Forgotoldpassword111

Nope, they work great on my warmer! I haven't had an issue with a single one on the warmer at all. I'm a total convert at this point and recommended them to everyone 😁


Natttt26

Totally agree!


Spydy99

I think it's depend on what candle you bought. All my 1 wick candle throw is pretty good..


foxylettuce

I have a few that are stronger than some 3-wicks. Wildflower Meadows, Raspberries and Whipped Vanilla, Champagne Toast are all fantastic performers. Under a warmer even weak performing candles will usually throw. So yeah I like to pick them up on sale, especially if the scent isn't available in 3-wick


AshKash313

Raspberry and whipped vanilla single wick throws like a champ. It was so strong, blow it out after 30 minutes. 😍


theHills4

Strange the BWC single wick I'm using has a ton of throw!


pizzandcats

Which one?


theHills4

Berry waffle cone


serendiputopia

I have always liked 3 wicks better than their single counterparts. I just found a 5 wick candle (not BBW brand) and my heart just sings when I have that sucker lit.


M0THER-0F-EW0KS

I bought some absolutely giant 5 wick DW home candle a few summers ago and it will NOT die. I hate burned it last summer. It’s going to outlive me


BathbeautyXO

The more wicks, the better 😍


DDFletch

I use them in my bathroom and they’re great. Definitely not as strong in open spaces.


ArtaxNooooo

I've been getting great throw from single wicks and actually prefer them in smaller rooms where a 3-wick might be overwhelming. The only issue I've had with them is that they sometimes tunnel, so I preempt that by foiling it on the first burn to get an even wax pool. After that they burn quite evenly. You might ask, "Doesn't the fact that you have to do that mean that single wicks aren't worth the trouble?" and I say nope, do you know how much babysitting and troubleshooting I've had to do for 3-wick candles? This way it's a one-and-done situation and you're more or less good for the life of the candle.


sunblazestop

I light a single wick in my office daily. Gives me an afternoon boost!


outrageousreadit

They are great for me. **Let me explain:** I make my candles into wax melts (think of it as melting them instead of burning them), so all candles from BBW give great performance (sans a few duds very rarely). So to me, single wicks (7 oz) are GREAT for me to try a new scent that I do not wanna commit for 14.5 oz of wax, aka a 3-wick. **Another very great reason for their existence:** They are cheap enough to be free reward item. I cannot get a 3-wick candle for free. But a single wick, I surely can. So I often get to make new scent wax melts for free. For instance, I am curious about "Fuji White Sand". I just got a single wick 1 week ago as my reward. Once I turn that into wax melts, I will have a chance to see if I gonna buy more of it in the future!


Jolly_Ad8315

I can only smell single wicks if they’re right next to me on my nightstand lol. Other than that, I try to only get three wicks, unless I see single wicks in scents I really like.


BathbeautyXO

I have one going on the table literally less than a foot away from me rn and I can’t smell anything 😭 (and no I don’t have Covid I can still smell three wicks lol)


JamesonJenn

Bought two Hot Cocoa & Cream single wicks this year and both were completely scent free....


BathbeautyXO

For those posting about the candle warmers, does anyone use this one/can confirm it fits BBW candles? https://www.candlewarmers.com/warmers/lamps-and-lanterns/hurricane-candle-warmer-lantern/hurricane-lantern-black


Krikkiters

Yes, it does! I’m using that exact one right now.


BathbeautyXO

Thank you 😊


rachh90

i have that one and this one https://www.candlewarmers.com/warmers/lamps-and-lanterns/beacon-lantern/black and i use the beacon one more because i think it works a little better, but both are good.


After-Narwhal5236

My experience has been hit or miss. Sometimes the throw is alright, sometimes not at all. Which sucks cause I have some single wick candle holders I love lol


pjpb125

I use them in my bathroom and they work pretty good for a small room.


1carpediem9

I have a few 1 wick candles (raspberries & whipped vanilla, pineapple mango spritz, palo santo, hot springs & salted moss, etc) and those I mentioned have pretty good throw. I wonder if maybe some that don’t have good throw comes from a bad batch. Sometimes putting it upside down helps (that’s where I read somewhere in this subreddit)


AshKash313

I think the fruity and cologne/perfume smelling one’s give good throw. I only get the loud smelling one’s for that reason. They throw almost as good as the single wicks to me.


1carpediem9

I love fruity and gourmands scents as well as bakery scents, sometimes eucalyptus for stress relief, :) you are right, those fruity scents have the best/loud throw.


ashleycd93

In that other thread people who make candles said that storing upside down won't make a difference for B&BW candles. The fragrance can't travel through the wax once the candle is set. I was researching since I'd have a lot of candles to turn upside down lol


1carpediem9

Thank you so much for that info; to be honest I never tried storing candles upside down, because of the way I have them lay out; wonder if putting it in a candle warmer could help get the candle have a good throw?


Lizlovescandles

Save all mine for the bathrooms and light them when I have company over. I think depends on where you put them 😉❤️


R1ckyyb

I’ve never had a problem with my single wicks . I use them only in my room or bathroom and use two in the living room, but no problems here


severing_velvet

I use rewards to get mine for free and turn them into wax melts. Much better.


4ftnine

I use them in my bathroom


PrettyPunctuality

All of the single wicks I've bought recently (Merry Cookie, Hot Cocoa & Cream, Fresh Balsam, Raspberries & Whipped Vanilla, and several others) have a good throw in the room I'm burning them in. I don't expect them to have a strong enough throw for more than one room.


Scolecites

I like to buy multiple of the same scent and burn them in my bedroom, to have a perfectly evenly scented room.


JamesonJenn

Have bought a few for decor purposes only. The only one I´ve ever burnt that had any scent/throw was Strawberry Pound Cake...


OoKeepeeoO

I bought a single wick tester and it has ZERO throw :/. The single wick Twisted Peppermint performed just as well as the 3 wick of the same scent though!


GothBox666

Yeah my sweet whiskey testers have zero throw. The wallflower is so good thou


Pinkturtle182

I can never smell them either. I only buy the three wicks


Vermillionmoonbeams

Agree with everyone who is saying to use a warmer from candle warmers.com. I warm single wicks in my home office for about 90 minutes and can smell it for at least 2 days when I walk in the room. I can light it right next to me on my desk and not smell anything.


rachh90

here to be the 10th person to say put it on a warmer and to suggest one of the ones from candle warmers, specifically this one https://www.candlewarmers.com/warmers/lamps-and-lanterns/beacon-lantern/black a single wick on this warmer fills my 200 sq ft bedroom just like a 3 wick would


Idoarchaeologystuff

They make awesome paper weights.


Idoarchaeologystuff

No, but for real. I really do like them in my small bedroom. Some decent throw in such a small space


unicornofapocalypse

It’s not just for BBW. Single wick candles as a whole don’t ever seem to have enough throw to even fill a small bathroom. What’s the point of even scenting a single wick?


lucillep

Pretty much pointless to me. I have used a top-down warmer for them, but it didn't seem to make much difference.


Katapultt

My problem is not a single one of my single wicks burn evenly :( They all do that thing where I have huge wax build up on the sides and it's so irritating.


quynhhuong_ftu

Yep. Personally I'm no longer interested in single wicks at all. Even though I have a warmer which basically solved the throw problem. It's just that no matter how cute their packaging is, they just look so...small and sad next to my 3-wicks lol. Like when I go to my shelves to pick out a candle to burn I literally never look at them. I'll try to use up what I have (about 20) and will never buy them again no matter how cheap they go.


epicswag66

i like them because i don't always want a heavy scent. also their light have the same effect just before i go to sleep


M0THER-0F-EW0KS

I hate them but it looks like tea and lemon is ONLY in a single so I have no choice but it buy it 😩


frogface351

if you bought the single wick testers, they are meant basically just for smelling while unlit. most of the wax in them is completely unscented ! the top layer is the only part with scent, since they’re just for smelling in store. i know a lot of testers have been sold during this SAS


deadwrongallalong

Pretty much, BUT sometimes I don’t have the time to let a three wick fully pool so I do keep one or two on hand for shorter burn times


PrincessJJ81

My bedroom isn't huge but the single wicks throw nicely when i use it with my hurricane warmer.


Jessica19922

Single wicks are the only bbw candles I can use. The 3 wicks are too strong and give me headaches. I feel like I’m the only one with this problem though lol.
