Reply to comment by neotericnewt in Warning issued over TikTok trend that turns candles into heaters by yeahokaythanks

Recently saw a guy doing the math ... compare the price of a pound of heating oil with the price of a pound of these candles. The candles cost more and heat less.

Makes sense since the candles are made of oil. Buying candles is just buying oil with extra steps.

Paraffin also heats less per pound then normal heating oil. So it costs more and heats less.
