Alright......I made two confetti oil lamps for the LOML for our anniversary. They burn fine, but the smoke like CRAZY. I have the wick about 1/16" below the top of the glass and they STILL smoke. I am using the Ultra Pure lamp oil as prescribed. I can't lower the wick any more or I will never get it to light. I have the long part down inside the bottle and the short part exposed. It won't work the other way around as the wick isn't long enough to have the long tube piece exposed for a more elevated flame.
So what's my trouble? Toss the wicks and order some new ones? Don't light them at all, they're just there to look at? I gave up a short time back. Now, I'm looking to the experts that have already been using these things.
