The 'wick' not the wax is what makes one candle burn faster than the other. Most people want long lasting wicks for their candles so get a good quality one if you are making candles. If you are buying candles cheap ones are OK if you burn a fair amount of them. If you want a candle that is fairly large and want it to last so you can relight it then buy a good candle with a good wick. You can tell if the wick is good if it's not frayed at the top and the wick is tightly woven.
