Candle Reviews

[Smashing]

We all sit at computers all day, most of us should probably burn candles to cover the smell of B-O. What candles do you guys use and what do you think of them?

I am currently burning one I picked up today. It is made by glade and it is very nice, not too strong and not too weak, compared to many other brands.



It is slightly sweet with a great smell that is just strong enough to allow you to smell it and light enough not to make you want to blow it out after 10 minutes. I am currently burning it less than one foot from my face.

This candle can be picked up for a smooth $2.00 at my Wal-Mart, plus tax.

I have several candle's nearby, but I don't burn them. I prefer using a candle warmer to melt them, you can get alot more use out of them, without having an open flame. Something like

Well, the most important thing is to provide enough power to the warmer. If you don't, say, if you don't plug it in, you will not achieve a level of melting sufficient enough to release the scent.

Also, air cooling is the best, as water cooling is genearlly too powerful, and it keeps the wax from reaching a high enough temperature (phase change and dry ice also work poorly for this application).

Finally, if need be you can use the warmer to cook up some ramen noodles or a nice soup, and use the smell of fresh food to make the room smell better.

Any success with overclocking?
