Usually oxygen, primarily because it is how fire is made. But for longer, there isn't a possible way to make it burn 'longer' with gas, but more rather use wax and string that are more durable to fire. Or alternatively you can put a plant near the fire (out of burning range) to give the fire as much oxygen as possible.

hope it helps

What candle burns longer a blue candle or green candle?

The colour would not make any difference to the speed at which they burn.

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!


How do you properly burn a candle pillar?

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.
