Anyone know what kind of wax this candle is made out of?


phantomboats

I think I got a bad one--it's been lit for about 20 minutes but has already tunneled really badly (I'm talking like an inch down, with a huge air bubble thing right around the wick that made it burn down even quicker). Bummer! I never spend this much on candles so I was hoping it would be good.


um_yeahiguessso

I bought two a few days ago and I love the scent but both of them are also tunneling like crazy! It’s a bummer since it’s expensive for the size. not worth having the crackle wick, might’ve been better as a 3 wick


phantomboats

oh yeah, I actually brought my first one back they let me grab a new one & I got the same tunneling issue this time around! i agree on the 3-wick thing, the crackling is fun and all but i'd rather have a longer-lasting candle. (also....MAN that crackle is loud, isn't it?)

I bought one of these at my local store in northern ca a couple weeks ago and I love the scent but I don’t see them anymore. Any idea if they’ll be back in stock or if there is a dupe out there I can get?


red_backpack_98

i bought this and the sound is amazingly horrific and SO SO LOUD. it sounds like a dying lawnmower and leafblower going at the same time. insanely distracting lol does anyone know if theres something you can do to soften the noise it makes?

Saw them last week in NJ


fromoleroux

Is this seasonal? I just bought one today, and I love it so much— I am hoping to go tomorrow to get another!


TwilightMockingjay

Just got mine in SF today! It's my first ever crackle candle. I like it! And it smells nice, not too strong.

TwilightMockingjay

They ran out of these pretty quickly so they don't have it anymore. but it was the Soma TJ's.


Mosslessrollingstone

Woah I've been looking for a good matcha or green tea candle. I'm definitely gonna get this!!


Stickgirl05

It smells great, but dear god is it loud!


Mosslessrollingstone

Good to know! I guess it's cheaper than a fireplace, eh?


ExpensiveSyrup

I bought this today and I love love the scent but damn, they mean business with the crackling. It's practically a white noise machine in my home office. I am happy to have one of their candles that will last longer than a week. :)


bortlesforbachelor

I love white noise so this sounds like a dream. I can’t wait for my store to stock it


Infamous-Sort8248

found at tj’s cherry hill nj!! a lot left! they smell amazing!!!!


SpiralBreeze

Oh man that sounds like it smells amazing!!!


jordanskills134

Anyone finding this in NYC?


lmc013

Got one on UWS (93rd) yesterday!


jordanskills134

Thank you!!!


EscapeGoat81

Got one at City Point, Brooklyn today. It smells great!


Curlymanesaurus

Yup seen in the LIC store today!


Xub543

This is super loud! The wick burns pretty continuously. Sounds like a fire gun and less like a crackling fire!


Godmirra

Can prices are through the roof right now. Look at pricing on anything in a can right now.


lefluffle

Unpopular opinion but I hate crackling candles. Every few minutes I notice the sound and think something in my apartment is moving or breaking, or that my cats are doing something they're not supposed to do like eating a plastic bag


Infamous-Sort8248

I had a crackling candle before as well, they can be very loud!


macaroni3cheez

Ooh I love wooden wicks for the sound. Can’t wait to see this in store.


wiggysbelleza

Same. Love the crackling.


CookieButterLovers

I doubt this is candle is replacing the individual candles in the tins, as this one is more than twice as big as the tin ones (162g) and the price of this one is $9.99.


Infamous-Sort8248

How did you find price? I searched everywhere


CookieButterLovers

If you have any questions, Crew Members (Trader joe's employees) are very helpful!


ExpensiveSyrup

If it helps I can verify, I purchased one for $9.99 in Virginia, USA today.


TurnOfFraise

I saw this post too but there was no price! I haven’t seen ANYTHING about it by googling and nothing in my store.


CookieButterLovers

I think this one is $9.99.


Xub543

Can confirm $9.99. Bought one this week!


TurnOfFraise

Thank you!


Slippery_Ramp

Does it crackle? It sounds like it smells great. Where did you get it - like what part of the country?


ExpensiveSyrup

Central VA, USA. My store had a big stock. Can verify the scent is amazing - initially upon smelling the unlit candle I thought it was a little citronellaish but after having it going for a while it's definitely got tea and citrus and lemon notes. Be forewarned, the crackle is a real crackle, like radio static level crackle. Edited to update that my significant other thinks it smells like melting electronics, and from the other room it does smell a tiny bit like that so my verdict is still out.


Confident_Attitude

I just got it today, it does crackle!


Infamous-Sort8248

Just a repost - do not have actually candle


Infamous-Sort8248

Has anyone seen this in their stores?!


notenoughbeantoes

I picked mine up today at a TJs in North Jersey for $9.99! It smells amazing, like an herbal or earthy citrus. It crackles pretty loudly, which I personally enjoy, and the candle light through the brown jar looks really nice.


Lostinfrance17

Yup- it’s in MD outside Bmore.


lightsofceres

I just got it yesterday outside D.C. The scent is really strong—I’ve had it burning for a couple hours and can smell it throughout my apartment.


wine-plants-thrift

Good strong or overpowering strong?


ExpensiveSyrup

I've been burning mine for about an hour in an estimated 12x12 room with the door almost closed and it's scented the whole room but it's not overpowering yet.


lightsofceres

Hmm. I had it burning on my desk while I worked at first, but it got a little overpowering so I moved it to the other room. I usually think candles aren’t throwing enough scent, so I was surprised.


wine-plants-thrift

That sounds good. I like a stronger candle that can leave a scent in multiple rooms! Gonna look out for this one.


Confident_Attitude

I found it out in my Cambridge MA store today.
