What kind of candle burns the fastest?
the one with the thickest wick.The flame from the candle melts the fuel (beeswax, tallow, cocoa butter, paraffin, or other hard waxy fat substance) which is then drawn up the candle wick and fed to the flame. The thicker the wick, the more fuel can be fed to the flame, making the flame bigger and hotter and using up the candle faster.
What candle burns out first an oil candle or a wax candle?
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!

Which candle soy or wax burns the fastest?
soy - people sell wax candles because they burn for longer making them much more useful Soy lasts longer - it has a cooler burn temperature than paraffin wax and therefore provides you a longer burn life. It's also cleaner burning and a natural product so it doesn't give off toxins in the air or leave black soot on walls, air filters, etc. Try Imara Candles at simplyimara.com - they have the best that I've tried yet.
