How do i light a candle without the smell?

Question

how can i light a candle in a room without the smell of smoke?

Answer 1

I always f**t to cover the smell of the match...

Answer 2

Striking a match will cause a small amount of sulfur smoke to be emitted from the match.

Burning a candle that has impurities or in the wax or wick, or is made of inferior quality wax can cause smoke.

Smoke can be produced when a candle does not burn the wax fuel completely - a scented candle can be a source of candle smoke deposits.

Trimming candle wicks to one fourth of an inch or shorter is recommended to keep smoking at a minimum.

A flickering flame will produce more smoke, therefore a candle should be burned in an area free from drafts.

Answer 3

smoke from the candle?  Get better candles.

smoke from a match?  Use a butane lighter.

Here's a cute trick.  When you gotta blow OUT your candle, don't lean over it and get close... just stand away from it and hold your finger  between you and the candle flame.  Blow AROUND the finger.  There is a swirly effect that causes little eddies of air, tiny whirlpools that snuff out the flame, even from a ridiculous distance.

Try it.

Answer 4

According to your prior questions, your mom gives you drug tests and you have someone else's urine saved in a bottle and you want to heat it up( for whatever reason) without your mom smelling smoke.

I think she will smell the kid's urine before she smells the candle, that is if you don't burn your house down because you sound like a real intelligent sort.

Answer 5

Why not just give up the drugs and start actually living your life, work towards a goal, start bettering yourself and start making the world a better place for others? Doesn't that sound better than taking drugs?

Answer: Use a lighter, not a match. But you'll still have the smell of smoke when you snuff out the candle. I'd personally be more concerned with the smell of what you'll be heating with it.

Answer 6

If you have a scentless candle and a lighter, the only thing you'll smell is the smoke when the candle is expired.  Use a snuffer and you won't even smell that.

Answer 7

Have you tried twitching your nose?  Works for me...

Answer 8

Simple. Focus your chi into a chi ball and use its energy to heat the wick until it bursts into flame.

Answer 9

If you mean the smell of smoke from lighting a match, you can try lighting a sliver of wood or paper from your kitchen stove and then lighting the candle.  Incense and bamboo will smolder, but I do not know if they are hot enough to light a candle.

If you have a large magnifying glass, you might be able to light the wick by focusing sunlight on it.

If you mean without the smell of the burning wax and wick, then I'm afraid you'll have to light your candle any way you can and keep it in an oxygen-rich environment so that the fuel burns as completely as possible.

Don't try placing any burning object into pure oxygen.  You might find that your candle turns into a flamethrower or an explosive -- and your skin could get burned, too.
