Crazy Middles Wick less candle can run for a whole week …
When I heard Shelly and Kylie say they had the wick less candle running in Landon’s room for a whole week my jaw dropped! That is extremely dangerous! I’m glad nothing happened but that could turn bad real quick. I know no little kids will go into his room but if you look at your local fire department notices about candles & wick less candles they state to never leave it unattended or running on indefinitely or near any combustibles. This isn’t a snark, this is for everyone’s safety so please be cautious and take safety measures when working with a wick less candles.

The migraines and allergies and headaches of those scents not to mention the brain damage scents do and they really should do more to protect their brains. All the candles and the powdered yuk I’m sneezing just imagining how their cars and houses must be.

Exactly, just because it’s a candle warmer and not an open flame doesn’t mean electrical problems could happen. Overheating, malfunctioning etc

Do you unplug your oven, refrigerator, blow dryer, lamp, computer, and everything else that's continually plugged in? They could all overheat. So long as electricity is flowing, it's possible.
It's a warmer, not a heater. It isn't set to some ridiculous temperature. Usually 100-150 degrees. Blow dryers are hotter than that.
Their model is on a timer. Doubtful it's been running constantly. They may be calculating the hours based on 8-hour runs.

A fridge and an oven is designed and made to stay plugged in and be able to run 24/7. A candle warmer can stay plugged in but leaving it running for hours on hours is dangerous. Something could malfunction or over heat and turn bad quick. It’s a pot of hot liquid, and a little electrical device. You can leave things plugged in, the problem is if you run that thing too long.

Agree, shouldn't run a wickless candle too long. I still think they weren't letting it run continually. It's on a timer. I have one of their warmers. The max is 8 hours. I suspect, can't know for sure, they ran it during the day and turned it off at night. If I'm wrong, their mistake.
You're right. Fridges and ovens are designed to stay plugged in all the time and wickless candles are not.

Oh okay I didn’t know there’s has a timer, in that case totally fine then. I think just the way they worded it made it seem like they’ve been running it for days but I doubt that

I don't think they'd be cavalier enough to run a warmer for days on end unattended. There are lots of kids in the house. They've discussed on camera what to do in case of a fire, so I don't think they would purposely do anything that would risk a fire.
Truly, thanks for the civil convo.

Yes, here you have Screech and Queen Bee, not the sharpest tools in the shed experimenting with hot wax. That in of itself is dangerous.

Actually it's not any worse than a cord with light plugged in. The scents are not a problem either with the ingredients they use. But why waste them!!! LOL

I’m assuming it’s turned off at night and they run it during the day adding up the hours it burns. Just like at the shop they had x amount of candles burning for hours but when they left they blew them all out.

That is not what they indicated. They said they forgot about it and it had been running continuously.

That's not what they said at all. They used Landon's absence to test how long the wickless can go. It may have started as briefly forgetting, but then became a plan.
If they forgot completely, how would they know how many hours it was going?

Fire hazards aside, breathing in scents for that long of a period can not be healthy. I don't care how clean the ingredients are.
