Eclipse 80 Hour Vertical w/ Glass Cylinder

I had long wanted this candle with the stand, wick holder and glass cylinder, but couldn't think of how I'd justify it. Finally I went ahead because I'd have kicked myself if I did figure out a use and it was no longer available That was back in October, 2023. The box sat there, unopened box for almost 13 months. Then, in mid-November, 2024, a friend suggested that quiet time in the morning could help calm the rest of my day. Nothing fancy, just a specific place, a good book, and possibly a candle to help me focus. I now had a use for the candle! Also, I didn't want a jangly alarm, nor to be distracted by constantly having to check the clock. I unboxed and set it up that day and the next morning extended almost 2 inches of wax, based on other reviewer's experience with the wax burning much faster than the stated 25 minutes per inch. I didn't time it that day, but the candle seemed to burn for almost an hour. Over the next couple days I have "calibrated" my candle to half an inch burning for just over 16 minutes, which is about the length of time I want. The wax is easy to measure; it's the amount contained in the extinguishing clip. The only thing I can figure is that aged candle wax burns longer than fresh. Given that this one burns so well, I think I'll buy a replacement coil now so it can age too.
