It’s an electric crock one you just plug it in and wait! Learned this from a dungeon i went to. They always have a crock full of wax and several tools you can dip into in. Usually cups or laddles as well so you don’t contaminate the whole pot. i really like the volume and temperature control but i think the flame of the candle can add a lot to the ambiance!
Maybe a cadle burning nearby would help :) i especially like the sounds of a wood wick.
i actually find the cleanup to be kinda fun, it’s like a big mess to play with! You can do (dull) knife play to remove it or massage with body oil beforehnad to make removal quick and easy.
