A wick dipper as an alternative to the traditional bell snuffer or blowing out a candle, the Wick Dipper is used to sniff the candle without the wick smoking. When a candle is blown out the wick tends to smolder and smoke for a short time. By dipping the wick into the molten wax you eliminate smoldering which leaves the air free of smoky odor. The coating of wax left on the wick adds fuel, making relighting easier.
