What do you guys do with the extra candle wax in the bottom when you’re done using a candle?

Can this candle be salvaged?

There’s still about an inch of wax left, but most of the wicks can’t be lit anymore. Can I stick other wicks on it or something? It’s too big for a candle warmer obviously. The scent is so night!

Candle warmers and other accessories Thoughts about this for a coffee scent?

I love the smell of coffee/coffee house…but every candle I’ve tried just smells so fake. To me, it’s always too sweet smelling. The candles are always mixed with vanilla, hazelnut, mocha, etc. which dessert smells are not my cup of tea. But to each their own!

I saw something about using a wax warmer and instead of scented wax, you can add actual coffee beans and a liquid agent (soy wax, unscented wax, vanilla extract) and you’ll get an authentic coffee smell. My only concern would be the coffee beans burning, but if with wax or liquid, would that be possible?

My wax warmer has 5 light settings, and has a timer function. I’d never leave it unattended, but I’m intrigued to try it. I want to try it out but I’m skeptical to see anyone else tried it before wasting my time. Has anyone ever tried this? Or can recommend an actual coffee scented candle?

…the easiest solution would be to just make coffee, but my hubs and I are not coffee people. Just coffee scent people 😅.
