Depends on the candle I suppose. Way back in the old days, candles were made of beeswax. A wick would be dipped in hot beeswax repeatedly until the candle was of substantial size.
Paraffin wax is used today. Please let me add a cotton wick that must pass all the way through so you have something to light. You can also add scented oils and wax colorants. If you want to get tricky, you can put brightly colored leaves and small decorative sticks in the candle. Beware of glass beads and marbles as the can explode if heated.

Generally more energy is in a solid versus a liquid, so a wax candle will have more energy than an oil based candle which means the solid wax candle will burn out last over the oil one. Actually, I can't think of a case where the reverse is true. And btw, wax candle has around 42 kJ/g with oil candle being around ~30 kJ/g (type of oil will make a difference here). tho' i agree with most of the above, the most important part of any candle is the oil/oil byproduct/animal fat or beeswax that it is made from! a wax candle will NOT burn until it heats up enough to dissolve into an oil - which occurs between 140-160 degrees! therefore, an oil candle and a wax candle burn out at the same time!
