i meant only one type of olive oil , not 2 types of olive oil, Pure olive oil, if you look at some of the cheaper olive oil it says pomance olive oil etc. You dont need to spend 7.50 for a 50 pack. I go through 50 packs every few weeks, you can buy them in little boxes of 50 or containers of 100 for a lot less money.
yes for chanukah i use all olive oil but with those little glasses, every shabbos I use the bigger glasses and 3/4 water. If i would use it all with oil i would have to stay up all shabbos to watch it. NEVER LEAVE THE CANDLES OVERNIGHT ON OWN.
I use glasses with 3/4 water and a little oil on top , depending on how many hours i want it to burn. I use the small floating wicks with the red wicks not the white as they burn out too quickly. I use many candles… and stay up until everyone has burnt out. Every once in a while they splatter. It depends on the oil, use olive oil only if it is mixed , not pure it has different smells and does not work as well and gives off black smoke and makes the ceiling black (thats what happened for a while when i bought a big tin of olive oil from national liquidators on sale of course) I love using oil as it is clean and neat. Do NOT fill up with oil otherwise it gets too hot and then you hear crack and the glasses break , i learnt my lesson the first couple of yrs.
Also when you light the wick do it that one drop of wax falls on the cork to make it stay in the center. have a good shabbos and bring much light into this world.
