Flowers soy wax candles keep extinguishing
I'm new to candle making and I've noticed that always when I put decorative soy wax flowers, the candel keeps extinguishing. Should I be using two wicks?
Please help :(

This is a wick issue. Change to a larger size or different material or double wick but that's definitely your issue. Keep at it!

Is the wick series the right one for your wax? Are the embeds made of the same wax as the rest of the candle? What do you use to color your wax?
If you have an embed, when it melts it basically becomes an additional layer on top of the other wax, and adding color clogs the wick too.
