Om det finns en vana som f\u00e5r ett ljus att brinna b\u00e4ttre, s\u00e5 \u00e4r det att klippa veken till den l\u00e4ngden f\u00f6re varje t\u00e4ndning.

Ju l\u00e4ngre den \u00e4r, desto mer br\u00e4nsle f\u00f6r den med sig och desto st\u00f6rre blir l\u00e5gan. Efter en viss punkt kan l\u00e5gan inte f\u00f6rbr\u00e4nna allt rent. Den blir h\u00f6g och orolig, avger sot och bildar en liten svart kolh\u00e4tta i toppen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En kort veke ger en mindre, stadigare l\u00e5ga som f\u00f6rbrukar vaxet l\u00e5ngsamt och j\u00e4mnt.
