I have to say these oil lamps add a really nice ambience as well! Sometimes we just use them to switch things up a bit and have a really nice dinner by their soft glow...try it sometime!

Besides the concerns with the off gases related to candles that are made in China, or candles made with questionable materials, you need to consider that while the olive oil is super to use for health, the wire she is using may be a concern. If the jewelry wire is not sterling silver and it is a metal that might be sourced from China or made with heavy metals like Cadmium or Lead, then when the candle is heating the wire, you are probably also breathing that metal. This is the issue with the metal disks that manufacturers use to secure the wicks in cheaper candles from the Dollar Store. The wicks are also made with lead and the cotton is secured around the lead piece of metel.

The flames looked like they were smoking.. Were they? is it just a wick trimming to stop? Do you need to keep the holder full so there's no flame jump on the wick? I'm currently using copper tubing to sleeve the wick through to remove flame jump. Haven't yet tried olive oil, using liquid paraffin currently. Nicely done video!
