All of these factors make it practicably impossible to answer your question correctly. Gel Wax has a higher melt point about 180°F to 230°F Bee's wax has a longer burn rate then when compared to paraffin and melts around 144 to 147 °F paraffin melts around 117°F to 147°F


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.


What determines the burn rate of different type of candles?

The burn rate of a candle is influenced by factors such as the type of wax used (e.g., paraffin, soy, beeswax), the size and composition of the wick, the presence of additives or fragrances, and external conditions like airflow and temperature. In general, softer waxes tend to burn faster than harder waxes, and a larger wick or candle diameter may lead to a faster burn rate.


Do soy candles or wax candles cost more?

Soy candles generally tend to cost more than traditional wax candles due to the higher cost of soy wax compared to paraffin wax. However, the price difference can vary depending on the brand, quality, and size of the candles. It's best to compare prices from different brands to find the best option for you.
