Tests are stored in your browser’s local storage on this device — they won’t follow you to another device or browser. Use Export CSV to back them up.

How do I keep track of candle burn tests?

Log every test with the wax, wick, fragrance, melt pool, flame quality, and scent throw. Wick Lab saves your tests in the browser so you can compare them side by side.

What should I record during a burn test?

Wax type, wick size, fragrance and load percentage, container diameter, burn time, melt pool, flame behavior, scent throw, and any issues like sooting or mushrooming.

How many test burns does a candle need?

At least 3–4 full burn cycles before you judge a candle. Wick performance can change between the first and later burns.
