whats the differance in burning time between using a candle warmer and lighting the wick of a candle. I don't see how the candle would last longer with a warmer.

I just bought a Velamour candle warmer and when I first used it, it smelled good for a few minutes, then I started smelling a very bad odor and figured out it was coming from my candle warmer. Is there anything I can do to stop this, or should I just buy another one? If i should buy another one, then which one is best?

The food ordered is brought to the table in individual copper bowls which stand on a copper candle warmer. Larger bowls and stands usually contain the rice. I have only seen these in Indian restaurants.

The candle warmer will be used for a 14.5 oz. yankee candle jar.
