It could be a number of things. I use IMARA candles from simplyimara.com and love them. They are not over powering, but leave a nice scent in the air and burn well. If your wick is flickering - move it to another spot, it could be catching a draft and your candle won't burn right. Soy candles normally burn down the center. If you get any wax left on the side, while the wax is soft after a burn use a spoon to push it back down. Keep the wick trimmed to about 1/8 wick. If your wick is too long you will get an uneven burn. Also - they say that soy candles have a 'burn memory'. Which means they will follow the same burn pattern they created when you lit it for the first time. You should always let your candle burn for about an hour for small candles and two hours for larger candles the first time to create an even burn pool. Every time after that your candle should burn evenly again. The biggest thing is making sure your wick is always properly trimmed. Also - if the maker used a cotton wick, you will notice the wick burns downwards towards the melted wax. Sometimes before relighting you need to trim the little wick ball/head off and not much more. Never keep your soy candle near heat sources - that can damage your candle and affect it's quality as well.
