5:36 - Yeah, it's magical how someone can produce so much waste to create a device that's inferior to the simple gravity-operated or spring-loaded ones in just about every way (needs batteries, is itself made of flammable material, doesn't have any way to detect how much of the candle is left, has dozens of parts that can fail, will probably break if it falls off a table, etc.).

[@tatann666]

I agree, that's a load of pollution for something hazardous and unreliable

[@TomeOfKnowledge74]

I quite agree. And rather ugly, in my opinion.

[@boxbox0000]

if you needed an electronic device just to blow a candle i will burn your house down

[@ruzziasht349]

Welcome to the future

[@solidSchmaltz]

not to mention how noisy it is! It would wake me up if the point was to put the candle to sleep if I fell asleep.

[@Langharig_Tuig]

Haha the electrical one is a dangerous device if you've ever seen one. If at some point eventually, relatively frequent, it can't blow out the candle it will just bellow the flame and/or possibly blow hot wax everywhere. If this were a widespread appliance we would read about housefires about every single day because of it.

Merry Christmas! Candle snuffers are used because the wick doesn't produce any more smoke when put out. If you just blow on it, a little ember remains most of the time and gives out ample amounts of smoke. It also may burn the remainder of the wick...

[@teachgold]

The only positive thing that happened this year was staying alive. Tim's channel always good for a coffee and a cookie. Thanks for making life a little bit better.

[@sharnclarkson4348]

Inspired by an old video of yours, I found some of those Swedish candle snuffers this year! They don't send to the UK (Brexit) but one of my students ordered some to her parents' house in Italy and managed to get them to me in time for Christmas presents. Very excited! Happy Christmas, Tim & Grand Illusions.

[@enwyz]

I love the fact that youre still uploading

[@DavidMoviez]

Can we please respect the fact that they did a timelapse of a candle for a few hours to show you how it works? :) Thank you cameraman and editors, and Tim ofcourse! Merry Christmas and have a happy new year. Let's hope 2023 is a bit better now, mm? Heh!

[@OctyabrAprelya]

They even preserved the audio. Which was very satisfying to hear

[@ryanv1279]

The production value of this is incredible. The lighting especially is top tier.

[@googleitdepartment1371]

is this sarcasm? because the audio and lighting is quite shitty really.

[@Hin_Håle]

Those swedish ones are great, though I think you were using it wrong. The spike is supposed to rest on the side of the candle like you had it at first when you put it on. Anyway, I grew up with those things. The spring is prone to overheating and eventually gives up. But it's easily fixable and then you can use it again. Merry christmas!

[@awmperry]

Exactly. As demonstrated it basically bulldozed the wick, whereas when correctly set it flicks over much more effectively.

[@updownstate]

@@awmperry I think he was hurrying up the process. It was confusing though.

[@flyingninja1234]

I prefer the low tech simplicity of the spring loaded & weighted snuffers. Merry Christmas.

[@georgegreenhalgh9936]

I would be more afraid using that new electric candle snuffer than one from hundreds of years ago Merry Christmas to you as well.

[@Hin_Håle]

Yeah me too. Way too many failure points. If they had made a simple, mechanical one, I'd be simultaneously more impressed and more likely to want to use it.

[@SamMaddie2]

Seriously. I trust some random startup from Kickstarter that runs on batteries infinitely less than an analog invention used by people for potentially decades that works because of a weight or spring.

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

I quite like the Norwegian one. It's stylish in its simple design. I would still feel a bit worried about leaving a candle burning at home, even with an automatic candle snuffer in place, because something unpredictable might still happen. Flame LED's have come a long way over the years and I do prefer having a harmless little button-cell battery powering a "fake" flame, but what a lovely display indeed. 😊 Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

[@SpartanMJO12]

The same Daniel Renard who did the Koakuma animations?

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

@@SpartanMJO12 I've enjoyed Tim's toy collection, ever since I looked for a nostalgic toy from my childhood and came across this channel. I quite liked how the toys were showcased and explained, so of course I'd give good ol' Tim a sub! 😊

I don't like to leave even the crockpot home alone.

[@h4l3y4vr]

I recently lost the love of my life, we used to love watching ur videos together. thank you for giving me memories of him to hold onto. ❤️ you still give me a laugh, even with him gone.

[@a-sheepof-christ9027]

5:19. That is extremely dangerous. It could ignite and kick off small embers and shoot them on to some easily inflammable material. "airy fairy" - more like fiery devil. Even the old candle snuffers werent without danger, but they atleast did not blow the embers off the wick.

[@jpaxonreyes]

What's the difference between that and just blowing a candle out?

[@sarahlouise7163]

unlike the gadget which would likely be left unattended, someone is in the room, blowing the candle out@@jpaxonreyes

[@beez1717]

Those candle snuffers sound like a really cool item for someone who uses candles frequently.

[@krzysztofczarnecki8238]

The spring-loaded kind can be found on Aliexpress. Just bought two.

[@thedoodes5134]

I’m so happy this guy is still making videos

[@slothfulcobra]

The original meaning of "snuffing a candle" was trimming the wick, which would make it brighter. Because before the development of self-trimming wicks, the burnt-up part of the wick would get in the way of the combustion and light.

Merry Christmas Tim. 🎄🎄⛄⛄🎅🏼🎅🏼

[@pixogee]

I make beeswax candles as a hobby. It should be noted that for beeswax it's highly recommended that the wick be dipped into the wax pool to extinguish which prevents it from smoking a lot. So blowing out beeswax candles is actually a bad idea. For tapers that do not usually have a wide enough wax pool... using a proper candle snuffer (first one in the video) is the best option but wait a few seconds even after the flame is extinguished before lifting the snuffer to restrict the flow of oxygen so as to reduce smoke. I also found it humorous that he helped extinguish one of the candles by blowing on it at around 2:43 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYjVqH97mr6hirM

[@coalcreekdefense8106]

I can't put into words how dear this man is. "Let me show you how wonderful this candle snuffer is." (Blows out the candle)

[@Nehmo]

I used candles in a motel room once, and I left the room at check-out time the next day. A friend of mine was looking for me and found me at the company I was visiting. (This was before cell phones.) My friend said he went to the motel first asking for me. The motel clerk told him, "We're looking for him too. He burnt down one of the rooms".

[@coalcreekdefense8106]

Oh. Oh noooo...

[@TruthIsTheNewHate84]

Candle snuffers are some of my favorite objects. They remind me of my grandmother who has unfortunately passed. She had a candle snuffer and when I was a kid I used to love snuffing out candles with it. When I would go over to her house she would light all the candles and let me snuff them out. I used to get so excited when she handed me her candle snuffer. Unfortunately when she passed the candle snuffer came up missing. I wish I had it so I could pass on those memories to my grandkids. This video makes me miss her.

Pro tip. With the snuffer, you don't need to make contact with the wick in order to extinguish the flame. You hold the bell around the flame, and it will quickly starve of oxygen and go out. *edit*also subbed, i learned some new things

Merry Xmas, Mr. Tim

[@ronniejames7720]

Hello Tim! Have you aver heard about candle clocks? They were candles with markings or stands with some scale showing how much time has passed since the candle was lit. The candles were put on metal plates and you could stick a nail in a candle at certain height. When the flame reached the nail, the nail fell down making noise. It was an alarm clock back in the days!

[@ColinLeyUK]

Merry Christmas Tim, and a very happy and healthy new year. Enjoy all videos and long to see lots more. 👍🎉

[@mantasr]

I almost set my apartment on fire with the Christmas advent candles that were left unattended - so these are all good suggestions.
