HOW TO USE
Insert the wick into the tube, leaving about 3 mm -4 mm wick.
Fill the glass with 20% vegetable oil and the rest of the water ( Do not use Parafinne Oil).
When the wick absorbs the oil, you can light it.
If the lit part of the wick is too large, it will cause smoke and higher temperatures. The short wick will have a small and soft flame and will burn clean.
when the fire from the wick burns all the oil then it will touch the water and it will go out this is not a problem Because when you refill it with oil then the wick will pull the oil again after a while.
This is a very old orthodox tradition.To lit a oil candle and place it in the front side of the icons!
