Jumping Candle Flame

Author: Vera Koester

If you hold a burning match into the vapor rising from a just blown out candle, the flame jumps back to the candlewick. A combustible wax vapor/air mixture has formed around the wick. This mixture can be easily ignited. The flame then ignites the still hot wick.
