If you’re searching for an aromatic way to relax, lighting incense cones is a great option. This process only takes a few minutes and will fill your home with an inviting aroma.
Lighting an incense cone is easy. Just light the tip with a lighter or match, wait a few seconds, and then carefully blow out the flame using paper or cloth.
Place the Cone
Lighting incense cones begins with placing them in a heatproof container, such as a ceramic bowl, an ashtray or even sand (place a layer of sand on the bottom for added coverage).
Once the cone is in your vessel, light it with a lighter or match at an upward angle so that its tip produces a small flame. Allow this flame to burn for around 10-15 seconds before blowing it out.
Once an incense cone begins to burn, it should produce a cloud of smoke and an aromatic fragrance. Usually, this lasts around 25 minutes.
If you want to prolong the fragrance of an incense cone, it is recommended that it be stored away from moisture, sun and heat as this can cause them to lose their scent. This is especially true for backflow incense cones.
When storing incense cones, it is recommended to do so in a cool and dark location to prevent scent cross-contamination.
Light the Cone
Lighting incense cones requires a different approach than using an ordinary incense stick. You’ll first need a heat-resistant holder or tray that can safely hold the cone and catch any ash that may fall from it.
The next step is to ignite the cone with a lighter or match. This should take between 5 and 10 seconds.
If the flame does not appear immediately, relight until an orange glow emanates from the tip of the cone.
Once done, place the incense cone onto a burner and wait for the smoke to come out.
Backflow incense cones are an excellent way to add fragrance to your home, but be mindful of their ingredients and keep them away from flammable objects. Furthermore, make sure there are no drafts present when burning them.
Put Out the Cone
Cone incense is more convenient to use than stick incense, though it takes longer to light up. Once lit, the cone should produce an enjoyable aroma and plenty of smoke.
To ignite an incense cone, place it on a heat-resistant surface and lightly ignite its tip with either a lighter or match. Wait a few seconds until the cone is fully lit.
Now, gently blow or fan the flame out to put out its glow. It should glow red or orange and give off a pleasant aroma.
Once the cone has burned down to its base, you can safely dispose of it. Either drop the entire thing in a metal bowl of water or break off any burning parts and throw those away separately in water.
Incense cones offer a long-lasting fragrance, making them an excellent addition to your incense collection. Not only that, but they add an air of serenity and calm to any home.
Enjoy the Fragrance
Incense cones are an excellent way to add fragrance to any room or space. Not only are they easy to use, but they can help create a relaxing atmosphere as well.
Incense is a natural product composed of plant-based substances such as resins, barks, flowers, seeds and spices that release aromatic scents when burned.
Incense can range in aroma from soft and delicate to bold and intense. Generally, incense is used as a way to enhance the fragrance of an area or for meditation or yoga practices.
Incense cones deliver stronger scents than stick incense, and they burn faster too, so you can enjoy a longer-lasting fragrance in your room.
