candleTIN Nano Emergency Beeswax Tealight Candle, Pack of 3

great for your emergency kit or just for starting your campfire.

Great product, keep one in every backpack. Tip, burn the wick at home for 30 seconds, lights faster next time. Wrap in about 5-6” of foil, unwrap and make a cone around it with a tight top, this will centralize the heat and pool the wax to the edges. I take it off after about five minutes and enjoy the heat and light. Reuse the screw top tin as you can.

These close well and light up good. I was hoping for a little more heat than these provide. It seems very similar to my tea candle that cost a few pennies.

I've carried tea lights in my outdoor survival kit for decades. Pair one up with a space blanket and although you won't have much fun you'll be alive to tell the tale. Look up "Palmer Furnance" for the technique. I always carried regular tea candles wrapped in a small amount of tape. That gave me some tape and protected the candle. But over time the candles would get beat up, the tape would get wet or otherwise fail, etc. Exotac really upped the game with these. These candleTIN Nano candles are well made, highly durable and much longer lasting than my old tea light solution. No, they are not cheap. But for survival use these are worth every penny. One of these candles is a permanent addition to my survival kit (two or three in winter) and I bought more for my kids' survival kits.

Got this for my son for a stocking stuffer. He’s always looking for something for his everyday carry bag.

Long lasting candle that's easy to carry for camping or emergency bag. Lid stays on in transit, so you don't have to search for it when you get to where you're going. Recommend.

Keep in your survival pouch. Works as a damp fire starter too.

I got my 3 nano candles and was surprised and unhappy to see a "lead warning" sticker. Why is there lead in these beeswax candles? Is there lead in the cheap can they come in, or in the wick, or in the wax itself? I asked this as a question a week ago, but the seller never responded, so I'm posting it here in this review, hoping for a response. I don't want to be breathing lead fumes! So as a substitute, I've ordered regular beeswax candles which advertise "lead free cotton wicks" and don't come in a can. Meanwhile I'm stuck with these things which I'm afraid to use now.
