A roaring flame requires a continuous supply of fuel and air. In the case of a candle, the size and composition of the wick limit how much fuel can be drawn up to the flame. If the wick is too large, it may produce excess soot and smoke instead of a stable flame.

What happends to a burning candle if there is no oxygen?

It will simply go out as fire needs to burn oxygen, too. You can see this. Empty and clean an aluminum soda can. Place a burning candle deep in a jar. Pour a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide in the soda can. Cover and shake upright. Leave the liquid in the can while you slowly pour the carbon dioxide gas into the jar and it puts the candle out by pushing all the oxygen up and out.
