Well the burn time of Scented Soy Pillar Candles depends mostly on the size of the individual candle and on the volatility of the colors and scented oils in each candle. But, for the most part, ounce for ounce the Scented Soy Pillar Candles are going to burn longer than their competitors made from other types of wax.

When shopping for Scented Soy Pillar Candles you will most commonly find them in the shape of a cylinder (sort of like the shape of a can of Coke.) Popular widths (diameters) for scented soy pillar candles seem to be 3 and 4 inches across. And the heights of Scented Soy Pillar Candles range from 3 inches tall up to 12 inches and even taller.

We recommend going with Scented Soy Pillar Candles that are 3 inches wide by 3 inches tall. First, the taller they get they are more prone to tipping over which can be a fire hazard. So stick with the shorter Scented Soy Pillar Candles which are more stable and less likely to fall over. Second, the heat from a single wick in scented soy pillar candles will usually melt a little more than an inch around it on all sides. So a 3 inch wide candle is just right to melt properly for 1 wick. If you go with 4 inch wide scented soy pillar candles you might find yourself with a lot of unused wax around the edges when the wick has burned itself all the way down. But experiment with the different sizes and wick counts to determine which size scented soy pillar candles you like best.

Again, some of the colors and fragrances used in Scented Soy Pillar Candles burn more quickly than other colors and fragrances; so the best we can do is give you time ranges. In general, 3 inch wide by 3 inch tall scented soy pillar candles will burn anywhere from about 40 to 80 hours. 3 inch wide by 6 inch tall scented soy pillar candles will burn anywhere from about 80 to 160 hours. 3 inch wide by 9 inch tall scented soy pillar candles will burn anywhere from about 120 to 240 hours.
