RecommendationTrim approximately 2–3mm before your next burn. A shorter wick gives a steadier flame and less soot. Wait until the wax is fully set.
What Vision looks at
The same four things an experienced maker checks by eye, read from a single photograph taken from above.
Whether the wax has reached the edge of the vessel, the sign of an even burn.
Whether the wick is within the recommended range or needs trimming.
A ring of unmelted wax around the edge that shortens the candle's life.
Carbon build-up on the wick and smoke marks on the vessel.
An example analysis
Results are short. A verdict, four checks, an estimate of what remains, and the single most useful next step.
Your candle is burning well.
RecommendationTrim approximately 2–3mm before your next burn. A shorter wick gives a steadier flame and less soot. Wait until the wax is fully set.
