First of all you would want to trim the wick to round about 1/8 of an inch. Before lighting make sure the candle pillar is stood on a plate or something to catch any melted wax. A candle pillar is designed not to run down the sides of the candle but occasionally it does happen.

What brand of candles burns the longest?
The length of time that a candle burns isn't dependent on the manufacturer of the candle, but on the diameter of the candle and the density of the wax. For example, a taper candle (tall and skinny) will burn more quickly than a pillar candle (more an an inch or two in diameter). A solid wax candle, being more dense, will burn more slowly than a honeycomb candle which is a little bit of wax with lots of air cells in it.
Why does a white candle burn at a faster rate than a colored candle?
Coloring of a candle does not affect the burn time of candles. Larger wicks on candles may cause it to burn faster, and the type of wax used also affects burning rate. Soft wax, typically found in jars, has a higher oil content, which allows it to burn faster. Pillar candles most commonly use harder wax, which will burn slower.
Does the color of the candle affect the amount of time a candle will burn?
no, actually it depends on the wick of the candle. the color has nothing to do with it. A candle with a straight wick burns better and longer than a candle with a crooked wick. Also the wax has a lot to do with it. Wax is the most important ingredient that makes a candle burn faster. soft wax has a higher oil content and lower melt temperature; therefore, it burns faster. Candles in jars have a soft wax, and pillar candles have a hard wax. the longest burning candles are pillar candles made of a blend of beeswax and paraffin. To sum it up: color makes no difference at how fast a candle burns. black candles burn no faster than white candles. Wick size is the primary factor determining the candle burning rate. the bigger wick will deliver more fuel to the burning flame.
