My wife and I love scented candles but the cheap ones burn like shit and tunnel really bad, where the expensive ones are...expensive. we use scented waxes sometimes but we like having the flame.

Is there some little-known marketplace or website that I can get good candles at, affordable?

Typically a hole on the middle means your candle isn't used long enough. Are you using them less than 2 hours?

Honestly, we normally burn them for ~6-7 hours at a time when we light them. We both work from home and I'll usually light it up the first time I get up from the computer. It doesn't happen with nicer candles, but some of the cheaper 1 wick ones we get from Walmart or Aldi will tunnel like that even with the long burns.
