Firefly Refillable Glass Unscented Pillar Candle Gift Set - Elegant, Long-Lasting, and Planet-Friendly - Includes 3 Oil Candles

I love oil candles, and these are nicely made. They burn cleanly without smoke or odor, whether you use pure liquid paraffin or Firefly's proprietary oil (don't use any other fuel, though). The glass is plain but elegant, neither too thick or too fragile. The chimneys are metal (aluminum, I think) and avoid the pitfalls of glass chimneys (they always break sooner or later) yet look nice. The wick is thick enough, and stays in the chimney while allowing the flame to be adjustable without too much difficulty. After several hours burning the glass top around the chimney is warm to touch, but the rest of the candle remains cool.Filling oil candles is a pain, however. Unlike water, which has surface tension causing it to adhere to itself (hence, raindrops) lamp oil is "thin" and runs in all directions. The tiny funnel provided with these is completely inadequate--I have some larger ones that are better, but filling is still usually a mess. A squeeze bottle with an angled fill spout is available, but unfortunately is outrageously priced for what it is. But that is a minor issue here. Fill in a sink, and carefully wipe the candle after filling, or the oil might mar the surface where the candle is placed. Then enjoy your oil candle.

Very nice. I have been looking for a liquid paraffin candle for some time. They used to be quite popular and easy to find but with time that has changed. This set is very classy and would add to the decor of any home. It is glass, and therefore fragile, and must be handled with care. I put the squirter lid on the bottle of paraffin and filled the first candle half full. That took quite a while so I think I will try the funnel next. In squirting the liquid into the candle, it did manage to get on top of the candle, due to a drip from the bottle and down the side. Well, that liquid is so slippery and I nearly dropped the candle. I did manage to clean the outside of the glass and all is fine, but if you do get some liquid on the outside of the candle, be very careful not to drop it. As you see from the picture, it is a beauty. I have yet to fire up the mid-sized and large one as of yet. Very nice packaging and arrived in mint condition. I tip my hat to their fine workmanship.

These are exactly as advertised and work very well. Fill with something flammable. Light. Enjoy. I haven't timed them to see the fuel consumption rate yet. Suffice to say, you'll probably die of old age long before they run out of fuel. If you burn it in the evening while watching TV or whatever, it'll burn for about two weeks, maybe more. Many reviews complain about "smoky operation" or some such nonsense. Here is how to use your "candle" and adjust your stupid wick: Fill with liquid fuel of choice. Can be anything from the manufacturer's recommended proprietary product to bacon grease. Light. Enjoy. There are three possible problems. All three happened to me because I don't like to read instructions. Flame will not stay lit or cannot light candle. Wick is too low. Bring it up a tiny amount. Try again. Flame is too tall and smokes. Wick too high (duh), push it down a tiny amount. Try again. Tweezers work surprisingly well for this. The wick adjustment from too low to too high is about a millionth of an inch. Once you get it in the sweet spot leave it alone. The sweet spot will be lower than you think. Mine are set to where you can juuuussssst barely light them. As the candle heats up it produces a perfect little flame.If you are experiencing all kinds of problems and nothing works you've filled your candle too full, the metal wick holder thing is immersed in fuel and is boiling it. (ask me how I know) Fuel leaks everywhere, stinks up the house, flame will NOT light for crap. Nothing will work. Easy solution. Dump 1/2" or so of the fuel in the candle back into your fuel bottle. Fuel can not touch the wick holder.Good product. Well worth the money. Should last....forever.

It’s gorgeous, minimalist and does not smoke. I was surprised the top just perches there, I thought it would be attached in some way, and that’s a little dangerous. It would have been amazing if they’d included a few replacements wicks, there was only one.

I really like these. They seem rather expensive, but what isn't these days? The oil lasts awhile, I fill them about once a week. When I first used them I could smell the oil and I was a bit concerned as I have an easily annoyed sense of smell. That went away quickly and I no longer smell it. I very much like them. Our power goes out way too often and I'm happy to have some light without having to worry about batteries. If they weren't so expensive I would definitely buy more.

It’s a beautiful candle but it’s such a pain to refill it

These are just so lovely! High quality blown glass with easily removable stems/wicks. The sizes are a nice variety. They come with excellent instructions and follow up from Firefly Fuel. The flame burns steady and there is no smoke or odor. The only bummer is that it's difficult to find liquid paraffin fuel locally and while the cost of the fuel itself is reasonable, the shipping for it makes it kind of costly. I've read that restaurant supply places sometimes carry this sort of fuel, so I will look there. That aside, these are gorgeous and elegant, and I wouldn't hesitate in giving them as gifts for weddings or other important celebrations. If you enjoy quality and beauty, you will find them here.

I thought these might be a nice solution to constantly buying candles. They’re so pretty — clean and reflective.(I did make a giant mess filling them from the gallon of oil I bought; next time, I’ll do that in the laundry sink!)

Das mit der Dochteinstellung ist für den Eimer

Used the oil that came with the set, first there was a huge flame...turns out you have to cut the wick super short. Still the flame is scaringly big. And then there's the smoke! Lots of black smoke coming from the flame. Doesnt seem healthy to me, any my ceiling will be black soon.I'm disappointed, sure won't use this inside. 😕
