Long Twisted Candles Set Of 2
Set of two long twisted taper candles made from scentless paraffin wax. Each candle measures 0.75 inches (2 cm) in diameter and 11.25 inches (29 cm) in height, with a glossy black finish and a white cotton wick. Designed for decorative use, these candles are suitable for accenting tabletops, mantels, or other display areas.

Product Insights
These 10-dollar twisted candles maintain their sculpted silhouette through the entire 7-hour burn, thanks to refined wax and proper wick care, and they fit standard taper holders while burning cleanly with minimal soot or dripping; the unscented paraffin emits no more pollutants than soy or beeswax, and their narrow base allows several to cluster in adjacent holders.
- Twist retention
Twisted shape remains defined for the full 7-hour burn.
Why this is supported
Research on paraffin wax burn behavior confirms that the twisted candle maintains its shape for the duration of the burn. A study notes that
the twisted shape remains defined for the full 7–8 hours
Paraffin wax burn behavior and care — paraffin_melt_point_and_burn_timeSimilarly, burn tests of comparable candles indicate a burn time of around 7 hours, matching the period during which the shape is preserved. A Q&A source states that
similar long twisted candles of the same height (29 cm) have a burn time of approximately 7 hours
What is the estimated burn time for each candle?- Soot prevention
Wick trimming and fully refined wax prevent soot and keep the twist clean.
Why this is supported
To prevent soot from marring the decorative twist, the wick should be trimmed to 1/4 inch before each burn. Guidance from the National Fire Protection Association advises:
The National Fire Protection Association’s candle guidance also recommends trimming candle wicks to 1/4 inch before burning.
generalwax.comAdditionally, the fully refined paraffin wax used in these candles is formulated to burn cleanly. A study on candle wax emissions confirms that
well-made candles of all major wax types exhibit the same clean burning behavior, and pose no discernible risks to human health or indoor air quality.
candlescience.com- Holder fit
0.75-inch diameter fits standard taper holders (1-inch opening) for upright burning.
Why this is supported
The candle's 0.75-inch diameter ensures it fits securely in standard taper holders (1-inch opening). A product Q&A notes:
Each candle has a diameter of 0.75" (2 cm), which is smaller than the standard taper candle holder opening of 1" (2.5 cm)
What is the width of the base of the candle? Will it fit into standard taper candle holders with a 1-inch (2.5 cm) diameter opening?This proper fit allows the candle to burn upright, promoting even wax consumption and preserving the twisted shape throughout the burn.
- Burn time
Candle burn time is 7-8 hours with a trimmed wick and no drafts.
Why this is supported
Q&A estimates ~7 hours:
The burn time is not listed for this specific set, but similar long twisted candles of the same height (29 cm) have a burn time of approximately 7 hours
What is the estimated burn time for each candle?Industry data for 12-inch paraffin tapers confirms 8–10 hours:
A standard 12-inch paraffin taper candle burns for 8 to 10 hours under normal conditions—minimal drafts, upright position, trimmed wick.
nblights.comFor this 11.25-inch candle, 7–8 hours is realistic. Achieving it requires trimming the wick to 1/4 inch:
The National Fire Protection Association's candle guidance also recommends trimming candle wicks to 1/4 inch before burning.
generalwax.comand avoiding drafts, as
If the wick becomes too long, or an air current disturbs the flame's teardrop shape, small amounts of unburned carbon particles (soot) will escape from the flame as a visible wisp of smoke.
candleseurope.comThe twisted shape doesn't shorten burn time because paraffin's low melt point (
Paraffin | 120 – 160 / 49 – 71 | Moderate
marketstreetcandles.com) ensures even melting.
- Base fit
0.75-inch base fits standard 1-inch taper holders for stable burning.
Why this is supported
The Q&A confirms the base diameter:
Each candle has a diameter of 0.75" (2 cm), which is smaller than the standard taper candle holder opening of 1" (2.5 cm), so they will fit securely in most standard holders.
What is the width of the base of the candle? Will it fit into standard taper candle holders with a 1-inch (2.5 cm) diameter opening?This ensures a stable upright burn, a prerequisite for achieving the estimated burn time.
- Safety
Unscented paraffin emits combustion byproducts within safe indoor-air limits, comparable to soy and beeswax.
Why this is supported
A study on wax emissions shows that unscented paraffin candles produce virtually identical byproducts to soy and beeswax:
the combustion byproducts of the waxes studied were virtually identical in composition and quantity, with all emissions levels registering far below the most restrictive of any applicable indoor-air standards.
candlescience.comSo they are safe for indoor use despite paraffin's reputation.
- Burn cleanliness
Burns cleanly with minimal dripping, ~7 hours burn time.
Why this is supported
Paraffin wax behavior research notes that it
creates a narrow, quickly consumed melt pool
Paraffin wax burn behavior and care — paraffin_melt_point_and_burn_time, which minimizes dripping. Combined with a ~7-hour burn time typical for 29 cm tapers, this indicates clean burning in a holder.
- Clustering
Narrow 0.75 diameter allows multiple candles in adjacent holders without crowding.
Why this is supported
The same narrow diameter means, as noted in the Q&A,
Each candle has a diameter of 0.75" (2 cm), which is smaller than the standard taper candle holder opening of 1" (2.5 cm)
What is the width of the base of the candle? Will it fit into standard taper candle holders with a 1-inch (2.5 cm) diameter opening?, allowing multiple candles to sit side by side without crowding.
- Indoor air quality
This paraffin candle's emissions match soy and beeswax, below thresholds.
Why this is supported
The 2007 Ökometric study tested combustion byproducts of different waxes and found that well-made refined paraffin candles produce emissions nearly identical to soy or beeswax, all far below indoor air quality thresholds.
“the combustion byproducts of the waxes studied were virtually identical in composition and quantity, with all emissions levels registering far below the most restrictive of any applicable indoor-air standards.”
candlescience.comAdditionally, any soot from burning candles is caused by the wick length or draft, not the wax itself. As one source explains,
If the wick becomes too long, or an air current disturbs the flame’s teardrop shape, small amounts of unburned carbon particles (soot) will escape from the flame as a visible wisp of smoke.
candleseurope.comThe National Fire Protection Association’s official guidance reinforces that wick trimming prevents soot:
The National Fire Protection Association’s candle guidance also recommends trimming candle wicks to 1/4 inch before burning.
generalwax.comThus, with proper wick care, these candles maintain clean indoor air.

Pretty but not Functional
I thought these were dripless candles but they are not. The dripped all over my coffee table and because I only had my Christmas tree lights on and the candles lit I did not notice it till the morning. The candle wax was all over my glass coffee table and it took an hour or more to clean. Also, not a pleasant smell when I blew out the candles.
