Why does my candle keep flickering?

Constant flickering and smoking occur when the teardrop shape of the flame is disturbed. If too much (or too little) air reaches the candle flame, it will disturb the flame's teardrop shape, causing it to soot. Accordingly, why does my candle wick? If you've ever had a candle with a black cap on the end, or what looks like a mushroom cap, it means your candle wick is mushrooming. In essence, the ratio of wax to wick is off.

The most crucial step in getting your candle off to a good start? "Trim that wick!" Huber insists. "As the wick burns it becomes black and sooty by nature," Huber explains.
