>>2605818Nope anon, they just failed over time. To be fair, the single candle UCO was mostly stable (but not 100%), the Candelier was a disaster (see
>>2605573 which is a photo I took of a typical failure). Problem is, the candles cost a shitton and when you have blowout the candle is pretty much no good, so I started blowing through them after spending like AU$90 on both of these PLUS candles, so I after a few months I refused to buy more candles, and eventually just got mad and threw the lanterns into the recycling bin and put it all behind me.
My oil an tealight lanterns have never failed me or angered me and are cheaper to run and easier to own. Kerosene and cheap lamp oil is stinky, but the good shit isn't. Pro Tip: don't buy your lantern oil at a Walmart or even a camping store, go to a super formal church supply shop and spend the dosh on their lamp oil. Fucking amazing, burns clean with a white/yellow flame, and in my house it smells only like a candle.
Pickerel, this church shop is crazy, the staff all wear suits and white gloves, everything in this place costs in the thousands of dollars, and they always have jugs of super refined lamp oil tucked away in the corners (one circled in green). That's the shit you can burn indoors without the house smelling like fumes
