Thanks for the advice on keeping the wick clean!

I've had wicks last 5 or 6 years with proper care. Most of those I replaced in the shop were clogged, not burnt out.

When the wick runs dry you won't see visible flame but the deposits in the wick will be glowing like charcoal. When it finally goes out nothing is left but harmless white ash.

Refill, wait 15 minutes for the wick to prime and you're good to go.
