A wick dipper is a tool used to extinguish the flame of a burning candle by dipping the wick into a pool of melted wax. This device enables a controlled and smoke-free extinguishing process that eliminates the need to extinguish the flame by blowing it out.

Using a wick dipper provides several benefits that improve your overall candle-burning experience. For starters, it reduces soot and smoke. By submerging the wick into the melted wax, you are preventing it from smouldering and emitting excess smoke into the air. A wick dipper also aids in the prevention of wick mushrooming. Wick mushrooming occurs when a carbon build-up forms at the tip of the wick, resulting in a larger and less controlled flame. You can eliminate mushrooming and maintain a clean and consistent burn by dipping the wick into the wax. Another reason for owning a wick dipper is that they are known to increase lifespan of your candle. By extinguishing the flame without damaging the wick, you avoid unnecessary wear and tear, allowing your candle to burn evenly and for a longer period of time.
