Yes, you can use Blissful Moments soy wax melts in an oil burner. However, there's an important factor to consider to ensure you get the best fragrance experience and maximise the life of your wax melts:

The key is to make sure the wax melt well (the dish where you place the wax) is at least 10cm away from the tealight. If the wax melt well is too close to the heat, the wax will get too hot, causing the fragrance to burn off quickly.

When selecting a wax melt/oil burner, look for one specifically designed for wax melts or one that has a sufficiently deep and distant well. Many traditional oil burners, designed for essential oils, may be too small or have the heat source too close.  

Tips for Using Wax Melts in an Oil Burner:

4-Hour Tealights: Always use 4-hour tealights, not 8-hour ones. 8-hour tealights generate much more heat and are more likely to overheat the wax.  

Start Small: Begin with a small piece of wax melt and add more if needed. You can always add more, but you can't take it away!

Clean Regularly: Be sure to clean your burner regularly to avoid scent mixing when you switch between fragrances.

The short answer is no, you don't need a special burner for your soy wax melts. However, the type of burner you use can affect the fragrance strength and how long your wax melts last. Let's look at the different types of burners available:

1. Traditional Tealight Burners:

These are the most common type. They use a 4-hour tealight candle to gently heat and melt the wax. They're affordable and readily available. Important Note: Avoid using 8-hour tealights, as they generate too much heat and can cause the fragrance to burn off quickly reducing how long your soy wax melts will last.

2. Electric Wax Melt Burners:

These burners use an electric bulb to heat the wax, offering more precise temperature control than tealight burners. They often have on/off switches and sometimes even timer settings.

3. Electric Wax Warmers:

Similar to electric burners, wax warmers use a hot plate to melt the wax in a dish. They also offer convenient features like on/off switches and timer settings.

Benefits of Electric Burners and Warmers:

Electric burners and warmers offer several advantages:

• Convenience: Easy on/off switches.
• Safety: Many have built-in timers (often 4, 6, or 8 hours) for automatic shut-off, providing peace of mind.
• Temperature Control: While not always adjustable, electric warmers and burners generally provide more consistent heat than a tealight, which helps to preserve the fragrance and make your wax melts last longer.

Choosing the Right Burner:

While any of these burner types can be used with soy wax melts, consider your preferences and needs. If you like the ambiance of a candle, a traditional burner might be your choice. If you prioritise safety and convenience, an electric burner or warmer with a timer could be a better fit.
