🌿 Unveil the Secret to a Perfect Slow Burn
Ever lit a natural incense stick only for it to burn faster than expected? 😕 You're not alone! But worry not—simple tweaks can help your favorite scents last beautifully. Read on to discover how to master the art of a slow-burning, fragrant experience. 💫
🔥 1. Wise Lighting Technique: Extinguish That Flame Gently
If you leave the flame burning too long, the tip of the stick burns away before the incense can begin smouldering—a common mistake that cuts burn time short.
💡 Pro Tip: Light the stick, wait for the tip to glow fully (bright orange ember), then gently blow out the flame. This creates a steady smoulder—protecting burn time and scent quality. 🧘
💨 2. Shield Against Airflow: Keep Scents Flowing Gradually
Drafts from fans, air conditioners, or open windows can make incense burn faster than intended.
💡 Try This: Move your incense to a more protected spot, free from direct airflow. You’ll notice a calmer, longer-lasting burn that builds the ambience just right. 🌬️
📏 3. Ensure Full Contact: Check the Unburnt End
Sometimes the ember doesn’t reach the very end of the stick—especially if it’s misaligned in the holder. Even just 0.5 cm of unburnt tip shouldn't prevent a full 30+ minutes of burn (see video demonstration).
💡 Quick Fix: Adjust the stick within its holder to make sure the ember hits the very tip. That ensures full burn time and immersive scent. 🌸
