Soy Candles too hot

[Maleah]

Hi, I have been making soy candles recently. I usually don't let the temperature get over 225 degrees. I take it off to cool at 185 and add the essential oils and then let it cool and pour it at 135 degrees. I'm still new at this and I was putting the wicks in other candles and I asked my husband to please stir the wax until it was all meted. He let it go to 450 degrees before I told him to take it off! I know they are ruined now, but my bigger fear is do soy candles vaporize and at what point? I want to make sure. He said that he did not see any vapors at all coming from the heat and I didn't either. I just don't want to risk breathing it into our lungs and getting waxy lungs. I'm now afraid of making candles in the future, incase they do vaporize by accident.

You’re not going to get waxy lungs. The main thing that would happen is you would burn the wax.
